Wah lan, why cry? Unless WP cry because now they have to prove a point. No LKY means no oppression. So must prove can win then
WP leader had gave the PAP passing grade. They are not that keen to win the GE. WP is not intested in winning the GE. They just wanna nudge nudge the PAP so that the PAP would not sleep. Thats all. They are still loyal to the PAP.
Just like the enunch and the loyal minister of ancient china. They are not interested to dethrone the emperor. They just wanna nudge nudge, wink wink, tell grandfather fable to hint the emperor, praying hard the emperor would get it. Thats non confrontational. And in WP book, confrontational is wrong. Its not good. They prefer the old ancient china way of doing things: nudge nudge, write poetry, tell grandfather stories and fables to hint hint the emperor.
PAP and WP frown upon the way CSJ criticize the estalishment. Why? 'cause CSJ don't like to hint hint nudge nudge, tell grandfather fable, metaphor to hint the 'emperor'. He prefer in your face kind of criticism.
