Election 2009: PAP likely to win 'mandate' again

[sheryllim]

2008 proved to be a watershed in the history of Singapore politics: Outdoor protests were legalized for the first time since independence, albeit in a small corner in the city besides a police station. Over 70 protests were held at Hong Lim Park so far, the most notable being the minibond rallies organized by ex-NTUC INCOME Chief Mr Tan Kin Lian for disgruntled investors of credit-linked notes, who still holds the record for the most number of protests held by a single person (ten, to be exact) and the largest turnout (over a thousand at one rally).

The dramatic escape of the nation’s number 1 terrorist suspect Mas Selamat from a supposed high-security detention center and the loss of millions of taxpayers’ monies by the Town Councils through the ill-advised purchase of structure-linked notes have triggered an unprecedented furore against the ruling party both in the fledging local blogosphere and the HDB heartlands alike.

With rising inflation, wage cuts coupled with the looming spectre of retrenchments, it appears that the PAP government is in for a tough ride in the year ahead.

another wayang like Chiam anointed Desmond Lim
don't trust wayang party see how they screwed Desmond Lim

It only come to our attention that Mr Chiam See Tong will be retiring by the next general election and his anointed successor to take over him as MP for Potong Pasir and party Secretary-General is Mr Desmond Lim after we visited the Sinagpore People's Party's homepage in preparation for our weekly political blogs' ranking.

As we felt this is an important matter which netizens ought to know, we have taken the liberty to write to Mr Desmond Lim to publish his facebook account and Mr Chiam's testimony of him so that you may get to know him better.

Below is an exchange of emails consisting of our request and his acquiescence:
