Decision on whether to hold polls will reflect confidence level of PAP

[Confuseous]

The truth will be seen in the decision to hold or not to hold a by election. A party that is confident of winning will have no apprehension of taking the bull by the horns and will call a by election without hesitation. Any wishy washy excuses will be a sign of weakness, a party under siege, having little confidence in holding on to the seat in Punggol East. The siege mentality is all there for everyone to see.

The opinions of bloggers are 2 a penny. Do they really know anything?

Yes agree.......Punggol East is no Hougang or Aljunied......its not even a Potong Pasir......PAP will be retain seat......thanks to the 60.1% there

The PAP never had any confidence. It has always behaved like an insecure, neurotic girl who keeps putting others down and making life difficult for them, despite her own privileged background.

even add desmond 4% into lilian side only give WP 45%. that a 6% different, not really easy to have swing vote of 6%. with the media protraying LO as a whore, may have some "tong qing biao" from the fence sitters to pap as the ex mp was well like by residents.

unlike hougang and aljunied where there a big portion of pap hatred due to unfair forced relocation programs in the 70s/80s, the residents of punggol east are make up of mainly young families and upgraders who only moved in during the late 90s and not the usual teochew speaking ppl found in hougang and lorong ah soo.

Anything lower than lecher Palmer's 54.1% will be big slap in the face for Ruler Loong. In addition, No Porn Lui and his SMRT cronies will have to postpone fare hikes...hence easier for Duke Teo to absorb the Punggol East fief into his domain.

PAP's confidence is totally shattered. Former pap stalwarts must be wondering how the party has degenerated to this extend...being the most hated political party in Singapore.

I can tell them the answer....their mistake in 1988...using the GRCs to send in pap into Parliament. This is the result, 24 years later

How about Glenda?

Michelle Lee for me. Li Lian may be hardworking but other attributes are equally important in parliament. I have more confidence in Michelle. LTK will have to manouvre carefully given the fact that Li Lian is well-liked in the WP and is a hardworking and sincere lady.

She crossed-over from SDP.

Whoever is fielded is only part of the issue. The main issue is whether the rank-and-file will be prepared to slug it out to campaign for the chosen candidate. Logically, those who have been with the party longer would receive that kind of support.

Agree. Imo, the greatest threat must be spoilers coming into this contest whether from other parties or as independent. Am quite sure it would not be WP vs PAP only.

 

[AhGuan]

In my humble opinion, Nicole Seah is the best candidate.

Desmond Lim got another 16K to spare? :p:p:p

 

[GoldenDragon]

I suspect Pinky will delay this for as long as possible. In a nutshell, he lacks confidence. Stand-by for lots of excuses to delay judgement day.

chin kang kor... looking forward to mid-March or early May :o:o:o

There is a very deep-seated fear amongst the PAP for Nicole Seah.

She is eloquent, fiesty, full of charisma and most of all ...... sexy and pretty, with her long tresses and creamy white porcelein skin.

Money is never a problem when the interest of the MIW needs protection.

Voters may view her as too young? Just guessing?

Also, not a good idea to enter WP's 'territory' and be labelled a spoiler.
