Ok, so assuming he had no choice with Aljunied.
So what is the grand plan?
To let the opposition move forward slowly like a snail and make sure they don't takeover the government?
Grand plan only to be revealed when there is imminent danger of pap losing majority?
Let me then ask you this.
Where then are the other opposition members who can take on the pap with more success? LTK blocking them from standing for election, forming or joining opposition parties or even expressing interest?
WP isn't the only party compromised. ALL opposition parties are. The pertinent question is the position(s) of those compromised. Agents are either sent into the party or 'cultivated' with the right approach. Using the right person or the right key is critical to 'unlock' that target. They are often convinced that S'pore politics is for S'poreans and their services needed to detect foreign involvement.
The grand plan is simple and straightforward - for the PAP to maintain power in S'pore and for them to have 'almost' perfect intel on the opposition. If an opposition party defeats the PAP, better to have one of their own than others they have no control over. Grand plan will never be revealed even when there is an imminent danger of PAP losing majority.
The cardinal rule is, sources or agents MUST never be exposed. Who would dare be one when earlier ones were exposed. I clearly recall an incident more than 2 decades ago when a source's ID was almost exposed. They had no choice. LKY wanted the intel!
LTK will never be able to stop credible chaps from joining the WP or other opposition parties. Not possible. There are some things the PAP and ISD will not be able to control. But they do control what they can. And that task is not difficult with the resources they have.
Notice something? The chaps that move with CSJ were the ones close to JBJ when the latter got into trouble with WP $$$$$. Coincidental? Nope!
Let me disclose something I never did since I contributed to this forum about 2 years ago. Someone once asked me if I was keen to join the opposition. I chose not to for 4 reasons. Firstly, too many skeletons in my wardrobe. Secondly, I treasure my privacy and am determined to live my remaining years as a chiongster. Thirdly, not my calling. Finally, given what I know, why be a tool?
Might be too much to ask from you, bro, but trust me on what I know. There are some things I better not disclose for obvious reasons. I am a pensioner, enjoying my medical benefits and have no wish to be arrested under the OSA.
