How would we rank opposition candidates?

[nayr69sg]

I'm surprised that the list did not include the Malay minority. Don't underestimate the Malays. In a keenly contested multiracial election, every single race counts. It's the difference between victory and defeat, yet so little credit is given to Manap chap in Aljunied. Disappointed.

You are welcome to have your own list.

I do not know any Malay Candidates and they do not get much publicity. This should change of course.

Raeesha Khan is new but perhaps she will be a force to reckon with in Parliament.

Most Malay candidates are meek and simply ride with whoever has chosen them. I have not seen a single Malay in PAP camp being vocal nor outstanding performers. Mostly, just a symbol to make up for the minority numbers. As such, it doesn't matter whether the Malays are presence in politics or not, they didn't contribute much to the country debate or offer new ideas. In contrast, the back bencher like the NCMP or NMP provides more speech and suggestions than the Malay candidates in parliament. I hope, Raeesha Khan can change the stale image of Malay political holders. As LKY has put it bluntly before standing corrected under pressure, he said Singapore will be better off if it is just Chinese, the main architect of prosperity we see today.

Mohd Faisal is very solid. In GE2015, WP was almost killed in Aljunied with 50.2% votes but Mohd Faisal's district in the GRC gave the biggest support to WP although because of his groundworks. Since 2015 PAP also focused on whacking Mohd Faisal's area.

Raeesah Khan is young and she is already a highly-decorated activist.
1. Raeesah has been an activist since she was 17. As an activist, she successfully campaigned in Australia against the detention of children seeking asylum and fought the deregulation of tertiary institutions in Australia, in order to keep university education affordable and accessible to all.

2. She was elected and employed first as General Secretary and then President of the Murdoch University Guild of Students over two years, overseeing an AUD3.1 million organisation, a staff of 100 and various businesses, including food & beverage outlets and a bookshop.

3. She founded the Reyna Movement, an organisation that operates in Singapore and Johor that aims to empower marginalised women and children through upskilling programs and community engagement. In Singapore, she works through her organisation with women’s shelters, people without homes, at-risk children and low-income families.

4. She has also conducted numerous free workshops and talks at National University of Singapore, Singapore Management University and Singapore University of Social Sciences to educate and inform students about the work her movement does.

Raeesah Begum Bte Farid Khan is married with an infant son.

Her education achievements:-

1. Bachelor of Economics and

2. Bachelor of Marketing, Murdoch University

She is the Founder and Director of Programs, Reyna Movement.

Raeesah Begum Bte Farid Khan's Hopes for Singapore:-

1. That families in Singapore are given the best possible chance to succeed, regardless of their background.

2. That we create a more equal and just society, without prejudice and persecution of ideals.

You don't need to be an Anwar or Mahathir to win over the Malay votes. Manap is a quiet achiever. Ignore the Malays at your own peril. In the last election, Manap and Pritam were the pillars of strength and drew the votes in.

"Malay in PAP camp being vocal nor outstanding performers".
Look no further than Halimah, your present president. She vocalised the concerns of ALL and I personally thought she was outstanding as a backbencher.
Parliament is not just about making flowery speeches. It's also about getting the message across from the ground to the other side of the aisle. Tan Soo Khoon and Inderjit were the hardest hitters from the PAP camp and JB Jeyaretnam for WP.

Thank you for sharing abour Raeesha Khan

I foresee that she will be a force to be reckoned with in Parliament. She will be an eloquent strong debater.

Her father is rich. So she clearly has no worry about being declared bankrupt and what not should the MIW try to be funny. The only worry is ISA.

TCB is my number # 1.

He is already well off, retired and elderly but yet he made an effort to come back to save Singapore from further political, economic and social deterioration.

He has absolutely no personal gains whatsoever except to restore back Singapore's dignity from the bungling 4G overpaid arrogant assholes.

He say it help him sleep better.

 

[nayr69sg]

He say it help him sleep better.

Yes because he was party to all the wrongdoings by the PAP. He probably voted in favor for many of the bad decisions.

So a big part of it is for him to repent. So for personal reasons.

Dont fall for the "oh it is all for Singaporeans" line.

From now on if you see any politician forming his own party new party on the block fanfare crap be wary.

Any person serious about change and wanting to defeat the PAP properly should join the WP. Yes WP is very strict and only takes candidates after careful assessment. For good reason.

If you think you are above that and are too good for the WP then I say you are unsuitable. Go join the PAP for heavens sake!

WP is not explicitly against 6.9 or even CECA. That should tell u they are savvy enough to understand the danger of alienating this influential voting block. If u press further u might come to the conclusion that WP is more interested in getting more seats (to deny the PAP they say) and less interested in dealing with poor decisions and policy injustices of the PAP. That is why they have been shadowing PAP policies for years. No body who is woke of the evils of PAP policy decisions can reasonably support or even join the workers party in good conscience. How WP can sleep sound lee is beyond me!

As you know.....I have always said that PAP are merely giving sinkies what they want. And that sinkies do support the PAP policies.

Your admission that WP is also not objecting to PAP policies lends support to my views. Sinkies vote WP because they too give the same policies sinkies want. But they are just not the WP.

Hence dont blame PAP for policies. It is what sinkies want either through PAP or WP.

Lol!

What a twit... why would anyone rank the abilities of different fingers in the hand?

Actually there is such a ranking.

We use it when we have to decide which digits to save.

We also use it to determine workers compensation pay out in cases of amputation and injury.

The thumb is most important.

For compensation they tend to go thumb then index finger then middle finger then ring finger and pinky.

Although for clinic and practical purposes we try to save thumb index and little finger.

I did 6 months HOMO posting in hand surgery.

Respectfully Zhihau I think there is value in ranking the opposition candidates. It gives a sense to who could be the next PM post PAP.

For now, alternatives are alternatives. We should continue to vote credible alternatives into the Parliament. I don’t like counting chickens before the eggs hatch.

 

[zeddy]

From what I heard from my ex Poly mate who is staying in Kaki Bukit. Faisal is very popular with the residents in his ward. Humble chap, absolutely no airs at all. He's not a chest thumping kind of MP , but he prefers doing his work quietly. He works the ground hard this past 10 years and you can often see him during the WP weekends walkabouts.

Yes. But it is also important so that the right people can be leaders in the WP. Seems like more people rank Sylvia Lim higher than Pritam Singh.

A poor attempt at trolling Dr. Regular sinkies are not voting policy; they are voting who deserves the mandate of LKY. And LKY's party is gradually losing it to WP!

What she posted was factual comparison, nothing racist.

It is about social inequality. It is like blaming rape victims of being racist. ONS with AMDK is shiok shiok, ONS with other race is rape.

He is a determined man. He is a changed man. He raised his kids well.
It is just that his party has baggage, so it is hard for him to cross 50%.

It is not his fault for being unable to cross 50%, they sent Dr Paul Tambyah, and still got defeated.

I agree with you that Dr Paul, Dr Chee and also Dr Tan CB, Mr Low TK, Mr Chen Show Mao can clinched a few SMCs on their own if they contested under WP banner.

Sadly and unfortunately I don't think Dr Chee can get elected regardless of which opposition party he stands for because PAP has totally destroyed his reputation which lingers on however much Dr Chee tries to show that he has changed. I guess the only way he can get elected is if he stands in a constituency with an overwhelming majority of millennials and generation z voters.

Oh and think Leon Perera should make the top League.
