How SDP could capture at least one GRC next GE ! SDP Read this !

Prior to subject matter, let’s observe What Workers Party has done aftermath of taking over Aljunied GRC.

Our friends and relatives were hardcore WP supporters, but this preposition has changed. We probably will spoilt votes and encourage others among the estate to do likewise next GE.

Now, look at WP Low over the years, what has he done in Parliament? Any new ideas or suggestions that Singaporeans are benefitting thus? Free HDB parking during Sundays ?

3 or more years on, we thought breaking one PAP GRC will see some light and bring down some living costs, and regain some quality life amongst other many things.

We don’t see WP proposes fair policies or ideas on housing, healthcare, CPF, retirement, transport, etc that make life better. We thought is worth a while if cleanliness and maintenance are compromised for relevant debates in parliament. But it is not the case anymore.
What goes on in WP’s mind is anyone guesses, checks and balances require skills and promises to deliver. Going to court and stumbled over the S&C arrears and dirty hawker center, whether who is right or wrong has failed to gain honor or win hearts period . You have a bigger responsibility to work on.

Perhaps, WP won Aljunied and Ponggol was because of Dormitory and extra-marital affairs . The protest votes we name it as durian votes. So you see, WP surely will send his men to contest at Sengkang west next GE
Think again, It took a man in the streets to wobble the CPF system, and Who has the alternate platform willing to miss this train or may be indifferent of the real ground issues. This CPF issue (absent of the defamatory remarks ) would have won WP 3 more GRCs next GE.

Why do WP MPs refuse to speak up on real ground issues ? Perhaps LHL was right---lions and heroes during the GE, but what comes after next ? Let the people decide ? Come on men, you are given a mandate to speak up for the people and you know also, but yet you are struggling to save your ass. No wonder LHL thumbed nose at WP, he must have noticed WP MPs are just rhinestone cowboys.
Perhaps , WP would like to see PAP in power, and being a plant that lives on the host obtaining nourishment from the host without killing it. Why not ? It is Easy living, right .

Generally speaking, WP is not a competent party. They are lucky because their voters think that they are clean and honest people so they vote for the right people. But many still can see what is missing in them. The next GE , LHL may send a witty team telling the Aljunied GRC voters that WP MPs are not working for the voters, promises not delivered and nothing has improved. Then the Dormitory at ang sa lee is relocated before the next GE, WP MPs would walk away in shame with tails between their legs.

Dr Chee and his SDP team should never follow WP footstep should they win a GRC next GE. The reason why WP is quiet is because they have no material or substance, they dare not debate on those policies that are affecting the lives of Singaporeans. They only wait for PAP people to accidentally talk rubbish and gain advantage on it.

We joke about PAP always wins kia-see votes, WP plays hide and seek to win durian votes.

SDP must win wise votes…… below is our opinion how SDP can win a GRC sooner as the old leave is about to break away …..
DR Chee plays an important role to achieve this goal.

Firstly, DR Chee must speak English in local accent. Other English accent will see goose bumps and lose votes . This is utmost important because a slang that sounds funny will make DR Chee an alien on stage. DR Chee must understand that most local voters are not so educated . They are that lot that hate "howlian" contestants.

Secondly, DR Chee can confess about the past of what he had not done well and ask for understanding. Besides, DR Chee should also ask voters to give him an opportunity to enter parliament to see a real debate on policies. This will shame the WP MPs that we hope to see.

Thirdly, You know that MPs running town councils is a gutter politics, MPs are lawmakers but going against it is going upstream. You have to live with it. Gather a team and study how PAP and WP run their estates asap. Streamline and plan a system that can benefit cleanliness and maintenance. Importantly, collect conservancy fees is a wash –backside issue, think about it. DR Chee has to tell voters they can run estates.

Among other things, SDP policies are meaningful , you have to go all out to share policies with voters . Most of all, never get into a personal fight with PAP humans , walk away from troubles if you can and focus on the voters. Remember , things come your way when you hold sway.

Other than humane policies SDP are pushing, we hope SDP put in NS- conscription issue next GE to stoke the passion of young voters. NS issue is a chink in the armor, the moment you talk about, you will win votes. We must know that young male Singaporeans are crippled by this NS conscription. Don’t go against it, just curtail the NS period and reservist period and raise NS salaries , it is a killer , trust the ground .
Retirement is also one key issue DR Chee should touch on, PAP cannot just rely on CPF for retirement. There must be another network by the govt to give assistance to the people.

Defence budget is astronomical, reducing it will see good healthcare, good education, and painless retirement. SDP should also talk about the issue

Another thing, the Minister salaries are also a killer issue. SDP must tell voters what the PAP Ministers are benefitting from their ivory tower at the expense of the votes.

SDP is on the right track , just focus on the voters, their votes are like a saint that send you to parliament. When you are in, never be like WP MPs whom already wasted 3 years asking questions, but speak up for the people on real- ground- real- life issues and propose policies that make life better.

We only hope DR Chee heeds public opinions to move this mountain. Every 5 years is another 5 years older. Winning votes is not at GE husting, it is now and immediately after 2011 GE. Don’t ever get the WP- fever thinking GE- rallies are vote-winning machines. This is the most foolish cognition. 9 to 10 days of campaign are just PR days.

We have now a human-right lawyer going to contest AMK GRC, it is a blessing for all of us but a curse to LHL if it happens. Singapore is now a land of opportunity for every political party. History is history, history cannot change the expensive present, tell the voters that we cannot live in the past and pay for the present.The world has changed, every country has a past, we have to live the present. These words will also win you votes because PAP will use antiques to upset opposition votes.

SDP, go for broke but with no defamatory contents. Don’t be like WP, silent about relevant ground issues is never golden, it is cruelty if you are MPs.
Dr Chee can learn one thing from WP, look out for durian votes at where he chooses to contest to upset PAP votes. Dr Chee should gather the best team he has which must consist a Malay, an Indian or Eurasian, a female candidate, etc.

Thank you Dr Chee and SDP team . May god be with you.

Thanks, TS, for taking the effort to write. Really appreciate your constructive points. SDP members and supporters here would do well to let the CEC see this.

Rubbish. Such a post will only make the SDP complacent, swollen-headed, out-with-reality and discard all tried methods.

It's true..........WP is riding on the dissatisfaction of the general public but once they get into lumparliament, they become municipal project coordinators and letter writers during meet the people's sessions.

The whole nonsense of 'first world lumparliament' is thrown out the window. The excuse is that there're only so few of them.

SDP will unlikely do well for

1. as long as SDP remains a CSJ Fan Club.

2. continue to ignore the importance of getting the heartlander votes or you call it the 'durian votes'.

3. continue preaching to the converted which is nothing more than a group of angry voters casting protest votes.

In fact ground sentiment is improving for PAP with rolling out of PG package. I will be happy if SDP can equal their GE11 result.

Good post. Right to the heart.

Workers Party MPs has wasted 3 years in the parliament.

Of course if Dr Chee could change and win hearts and win a GRC, that would be all the more cloud- nine for singaporeans as a whole.

Is true that CPF money is personal savings, why shameless PAP is using these monies to paste their face?

Yes , CPF for house, for investments, but for what special account, for retirement is too extreme. What about those many who have no CPF money?

Touch your heart, what is national lottery for ?

A good Govt must have another network for retirement because you have Govt investment arms and all kinds of money machines scouring public monies to the point of bleeding.

Yes, NS conscription issue is one killer issue that SDP should include. PAP is overspending defence budget and Govt officals' salaries and people suffer as a consequence.

PG package does not incude hospitalization, PG is just a hogwash only to enrich the GPs.

Surprisingly, Why WP MPs are not talking and arguing real issues in the parliament. Yes, I will also spoilt my votes in Aljunied GRC next GE. I will also encourage friends and neighbors not to vote WP anymore.

Hope Dr Chee can make a breakthrough. Hope LHL will get the curse.

WP has lead to changes in CHAS, PPHS, pricing of HDB flats, hospital procedures, opening of kindergarten market, health insurance, honouring pioneers and the list goes on. I cannot think of any single opposition party whose ideas that forced PAP's hand come up to a long list.

Things like free parking and abolishing NS were never in other opposition parties' books, so I am not sure why people are using an opposition party to put down WP that didn't champion those ideas.

It will be a challenge for someone to change his accent. He may do it for a few minutes but it will be unnatural if it drags on for hours. However, the point is valid, Dr Chee's spoken English will not appeal to the non-English speaking citizens. So far, Dr Chee has been the "face" of the party, he is the speaker in major SDP events and there is no other "visible" candidate. Used to have Vincent Wijeysingha but he too is English-oriented. SDP needs to have a Chinese-oriented person that is highly visible to appeal to the non-English speaking citizens. The other thing is Dr Chee should not anchor all the time, let other SDP candidates do the talking to promote their visibility. This is especially so when the GRC is at stake and GRC is a multi-candidate constituency.

Sounds more like a pappie dog article designed to split votes. Pappies sure are getting desperate..why the article never say anything about how CSJ nearly derailed the Punggol BE,,? He has set the opposition agenda back 10 years with his overthrow of CST and his stunts against PAP.

Also only idiots and retards and Pappie dogs will support vote spoilage,,some clowns did that during the last erection at Potong Pasir,,and guess what,,,the PAP won,,and is that constituency better off now under the PAP and that Shitto MP? The pappie dogs just dont stop,,,,

I will be more more happy if Aljunied GRC, Hougang n Punggol East go back to other opposition party or PAP.
WP won Aljunied cos of TR, blogglers and late JBJ trademark.
Come GE 2016 WP will certainly suffer.
Even RN and HHH speech are very much better than all WP members.
Nowaday WP members have no balls to confront the man in white.
