My exact thoughts. Its templated from PAP HQ. just follow the script. People less qualified have become PAP MPs and there has never been a question mark on their integrity until this guy. From the word go, he has been making claims that are unbelievable. Even if the biscuit and fish story are true, it does not at all tie in with his CV of his later life. I don't see any work or activity in the social and welfare space at all.
Why make these claims in the first place. One look at Lee Li Lian and Desmond Lim, you know that they did not come from an affluent or middle income background. KJ himself told in his rally speech of his privileged background with bungalow, driver, domestic servants etc and how his father lost it all but he did not hide the early good days. KJ might be mad and eccentric and clearly detached but the guy is honest. One cannot say the same about this PAP doctor.
One really worries about this guy.

It amazes me how the guy screwed the whole thing up. All he had to do was to repeat the usual rhetoric about how PAP can bring progress to your estate. But he did all the unnecessary rags to riches stories, dont need sympathy votes, he is his own man, etc. I am in fact impressed at his command of the Chinese language.
Now it looks as if he has a real chance of losing.
