GE postponed?

[rodent2005]

And you are running for parliament? Why don't you check the constitution or something and see whether this is allowed or not? Instead of asking dumb question in here. I really fear for Singapore if you win the election.

Do you understand English? Did he ask whether it's constitutional or not?

TAMPINES IS DOOM..MBT will win again unless WP, RP or SPP decide to come here...:(

Hahaha you forgot TANJONG PAGAR!

Even when the old man is in hospital, the oppos also got no guts to walk his ground.

The following is the latest TR article on the elections being postponed. I know many people don't put much stock in what TR writes. Their record on this kind of unconfirmed rumour has however been quite accurate so far.

If it crosses the FY in March, then the Election Department will have to update the Electoral Register for a third time. This itself shows the lack of confidence the PAP in winning the elections decisively.


Reform Party-Singapore People’s Party joint walkabout at Yew Tee tomorrow

http://www.temasekreview.com/2010/1...es-party-joint-walkabout-at-yew-tee-tomorrow/

The Reform Party will be conducting a joint walkabout with the Singapore People’s Party at Yew Tee tomorrow, its third walkabout in less than a week.

With the next general election looming ahead, the Reform Party has been working hard on the ground to get its message out to as many Singaporeans as possible.

It has indicated its interest in contesting in Hong Kah GRC, West Coast GRC, Choa Chu Kang SMC and Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC together with the Singapore People’s Party.

According to Reform Party activist Irene Ho, there is an increasing number of Singaporeans who are willing to give their contact details to help out at its grassroots activities:

“We were also heartened by the number of residents on Tuesday’s walkabout who were prepared to give us their contact details and said they wanted to help. One woman said that they didn’t have any financial problems but was concerned about her children future if the PAP’s open floodgates towards foreign so-called “talents” continued.”

In the meantime, there were unconfirmed rumors that the panicky PAP regime has postponed the elections (again) to next year to allow more time for their “damage control” measures to work in order to appease disgruntled Singaporeans.

The longer the elections are delayed, the more time the opposition has to prepare for it. With public disaffection and anger against the PAP at an all-time high, it is almost certain it will not garner higher than the 66.6 percent of valid votes it gained in the 2006 elections.

The next general election may be the last window of opportunity for native Singaporeans to reclaim ownership of their nation after which the PAP regime will surely bring in more foreigners (hence new citizens) to consolidate its shaky position.

Well, yes, I agree with you. However, personally, I really hope that they will postpone it.

Goh Meng Seng

Why? aren't you ready? after all these years and Singaporeans are ready for change. I suggest opposition parties should not simply aim to win an election. They must look beyond that, like forming a coalition, become a new government. Everything has a new beginning, it must start somewhere (the soonest the better). .

Wouldn't it be ironic if foreigners become Singapore citizens and in turn get replaced by new foreigners in jobs?
:o

GMS has been ready since March lah. He is just gloating that the PAP is playing into his hands.

Actually forming a coalition is a good idea but from the ideals of singapore opposition's parties, I think the success rate to form a coalition is less than 10%.

Every party for themselves. Coalitions tend to have internal strifes more easily.

I think most people, especially opposition supporters are mistaken. It is not whether we are ready but whether Singaporeans are ready to vote for opposition parties. To let that happen, issues like HDB and FT have to go deep down on the ground.

Well, I have no complains for them to postpone it.

'complains' is a verb.

Good to hear that. I am ready, my family is ready, my colleagues are ready, a couple of taxi uncles I spoke too are ready.

DO YOUR BEST TO HELP ME SCREW MBT.

WE ARE ALL READY TO KICK PAP ASSES!!!

 

[Thick Face Black Heart]

Temasek Review wrote on their FB wall that they have reliable sources that say the General Elections will be postponed indefinitely. Possible? Anyone has any information on this one?

Goh Meng Seng

You mean that "Temasek Review" and "reliable" can actually be used in the same sentence???

 

[Thick Face Black Heart]

Opposition parties all need as much time as possible. More time, the merrier. The more prepared they are, the more votes they'll win.

As for NSP, you have to build up your Malay Bureau in the meantime and also continue to criticize MBT. You need also more prominent candidates.

If there is really plans to postpone their internally-agreed on date for the GE, I suspect it could be due to some internal conflict. Think Vivian B. and his YOG fiasco. I'm pretty sure this kind of major BOOHOO can easily polarize the party internally.

PAP: Time's up for you. You're gonna to crack!

Many think that by using the budget, they could do something. But the fact is, the root of these problems could not be solved so easily but the pent up emotions are going to sway a lot of neutral voters.

Well, I have no complains for them to postpone it. I will be very happy for that to happen.

[coolguy]

your think you can get me?
Nay..Nay.Nay.Nay...Nay
The electoral boundary will be redrawn and Tampines GRC will be divided into single wards.
Like this. See my hands.

GMS, can add medical care issues in your campaign? You will definitely gain more support. FT, HDB rising cost of living, and Medical care

Dear Palden,

Thank you. Yes, medical care issues will be in my agenda. Actually, I did mention in my blog, no surprises.

A delay in GE might not be a good thing for the opposition.

Giving howw the present perssure had been buildup, a delay could reduce the persure or, PAP could have a trick orr two to swing the votes back to their favour.

My contacts however did not indicate a delay as MP walkabouts had not been reduced but instead been stepped up by having bigger and more well coordinated events. All these have the intention of building up PAP's public image at the grassroots.

However, i would caution everyone about talks of delay. It might be a smokescreen for a snap GE.

The PAP elders were deadset on a December election.

Many MPs and even Ministers were against as they wanted more time to prepare.

The PAP elders refused to listen.

They got desperate and took their campaign to the msm to persuade the elders. Teo Ho Pin represented this faction and told reporters the 3 things which needed to be "fixed"

1) Flooding
2) High HDB prices
3) Distance based fare system being a fare hike

PAP elders refused to listen and preperations continued for Dec elections.

Then an old lion with a history of heart attacks had a "chest" infection. He was flown back post haste from Russia and put in the special SGH ward 78.

As it now looks likely that old lion might not recover in time for a December elections, plans are therefore afoot to "postone" the election not so much as to "fix" issues but so the old lion can vigourously take part.
