Come on , a loss is a loss...learn to accept it with grace like Daniel Goh

[Wunderfool]

Daniel Goh 吴佩松
Standing in the middle of the school hall last night, I surveyed the will of the people stacking up in crosses all around me. I was nervous at first, but at the exact moment that I realised we had lost, a peace came unto me. It was done. I shook the hands of our tearing counting agents and couldn't thank them enough. I shook the hands of the PAP counting agents, who respectfully wished me the best and gave me a slight bow even. I walked downstairs to join Allan and my wife. Allan seemed surprised by my calm as I told them we have lost by a landslide. My wife knew where I was, in my meditation zone.

The people has spoken and the collective wisdom is always right. Analysts will fall over one another in the coming weeks to discern the hearts of voters. For me, the meaning of the results is clear. It is a ringing endorsement of the PAP's programme of going back to its centre-left roots and PM Lee's leadership. It is also a nod to WP's brand of rational and responsible politics, since the seats won in GE2011 were returned. But with caveats: work harder, and buck up, in both town management and Parliament; less egoism and opportunism, more depth, humility and courage, more listening and walking.

I wrote previously that winning isn't everything and the manner of the contest and our contribution to the continuing democratic process is far more important. I am especially proud of my teammates and volunteers and thankful for those of you who wrote to me with heartfelt words of support. I am very touched by a strong PAP supporter writing me a long letter of encouragement, because he too believe we need to move beyond cynical politics and venom we witnessed this season. My hope is that the PAP will use this to change its DNA further and return to servant-leadership away from princely self-righteousness. My work is to continue this national service to build up the WP as a credible choice and voice to keep the iron in Singapore's veins.

In the end all that matters is we found the time to love, and it is the time now, again, to do so with our families, friends and fellow countrymen and women. No politics of hate for me. Time for our thank you parade!

This fucking retard Daniel and all his fucktards WP gang will be ' surprised again' as so claimed by him that they are no longer needed in Hougang and Aljunied in 2020.

WP should then disband as Sinkie are the kind that prefer to live this way for the rest of their pathetic lives.

As for the rest of the clowns, they will not longer contest or if they do , like NSP or SDP or RP they will provide the circus entertainment and be the clowns that they will be labelled as such, for the rest of their pathetic lives.

So which sane person would want to be associated with any opposition, from now on.

lose to gerrymandering is not worth it neither is it honourable to win that way......!!

This guy Daniel did a class act. The voters have not rejected WP, on the contrary, is watching WP for their next steps. WP has done many good deeds to lead PAP to change some of their ways, and this is something to be grateful at. Without WP and 2011's Aljunied victory, will PAP have done U-turns in their left-of-centre policies?

You need not be in parliament but merely sustaining WP will have done Singapore good and it shows your true desire to serve. Contrast to RP's Kenneth Jeyaretnam saying "Singaporeans should not complain" and disgruntled demeanour after losing, good riddance to such politicians who cannot see beyond what it means to truly serve.

 

[frenchbriefs]

yes a peace came upon me as well,im done with this country and the clown politics and the government,i dont care what PAP does anymore or what happens to this country or the people.the people have spoken,they dont need democracy or two party system or any contrasting voice in parliament at all,they are perfectly happy with a one party rule for the rest of eternal damnation.sinkies deserves the fate they choose,i wish every plague and ailment upon them even on this island of peace of tranquility,i wish every form of man made disaster upon them,gst hike,mass overcrowding,real estate and cost of living soaring,foreigners taking over their schools and jobs,entire generations of sinkies to spend their twilight years clearing dishes and picking cardboard,while their government and foreigners mock them over and over and lie to them over and over again they have their best interests at heart and only doing them good while daft and stupid sinkies lap it up.

my goal in life is simple,to become absolutely stinking rich and build a powerful empire,and go out into the world and use my power and resources and billions to help the countries and people in parts of the world,that wants to be helped and deserves to be helped.to promote socialism and communism thru capitalism.what a bunch of cowards,to trust a pack of wolves just because they whisper some sweet nothings and promise they will "change" for you.all because u are afraid of change and want familiarity.

It's time to probe and check whether this Daniel Goh is really lying about affair w his student. He did a masterful act by making police report. But no smoke without fire.

humble? apologised in 2011 & right after opened floodgates wider for shiploads of F Trashes to be converted to shitizens to corner the market??????

And silence after making some noise. I mentioned that it might have been WP who started the whole thing to gain sympathy votes.

[xpo2015]

This probably KJ view on Sickapoorean!
KJ is telling Sickapoorean to stop complaining and whining!!
another words Sickaporean are traitors, betrayers, no balls, no guts,
coward when comes to voting!! On the surface they scold the ruling party inside their heart they are scare to death, a coward unlike Jui hu kia they have guts and dare to vote against their gahmen when they are dissatisfied with BN!!

Yes! Stinkapoorean are Coward, no guts, pondun, only dare to make a lot of
noise like an empty vessel! write Shitty Time to complain!! Basically mostly Hypocrites!!

No follow up after making police report? Wu Ya Bo? This Daniel Goh also another suspicious clown.

 

[kopirui]

as least KJ is not putting on an act/
he is telling the truth

 

[Wunderfool]

The worst explanation I heard about the big loss of Opps to PAP was because the roaming ghost of Ah Gong scared many superstitious voters to vote for PAP. No sane voter wants to offend the spirit of Ah Gong during the last day of the Ghost month...they wanted him to return happily to where he came from.

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

Those must be opposition supporters. They are that stupid.
