Issue/Minister Specific Strategy: Why stop at Mah BT?

[Hawkeye1819]

Your suggestion is actually a great one. How the PAP plays elections is the usual set piece of one defamation suit and one distraction that has nothing to do with the issues. Last time it was CSJ and James Gomez. This time if opposition can make the policies & the associated minister the focus of the campaign like what NSP has done, they would be hard pressed to play the politics of distraction again.

Yes, we should. But not all opposition parties think the same way. If all opposition parties take up my suggested strategy, there will be a wow effect for all.

Goh Meng Seng

Oppositions needs to keep these 3 fellows LKY, GCT, LHL busy in their own GRC before thinking about winning in other GRCs.

Ya, but who will bell the cat?

That the problem. Every party leader is answerable to their party and members to do well and will be deem as betrayal to the party interests if they compromise too much. Hence no one wants to get their hands dirty for the sake of opposition unity.

In the end oppositions end up like splinter groups of guerilla pitting against a regular Army that is highly integrated with all the fire-support. How to win?

I suggest.

1. KJ should lead a team to fight with old fart. Old fart is passe even if he lose will be of no lose to the country. Sending in a suicide squad he won't even brink an eye and may continue to give fire support in other ward. to take on him opposition needs to send in someone with substance. In addition since he is the daddy of PM, he still can provide advices to his son on a personal capacity. best of all no need to pay him taxpayers dollar.(opposition should remind this fact to voters). I know it maybe a bit unfair but chances of a freak result are pretty good if there is good candidates from opposition. I can't think of anyone better than KJ.

2.As for GCT, he do not have the type of charisma old fart has but still capable of inflicting some damages. We need to keep him busy, would suggest that WP send in their "B" team to counter him.

3. For PM GRC, stakes are high, if anything goes wrong there will be no one to lead. Thus opposition only need to send in a suicide squad and pinky won't dare to take chance. Also if opposition send in their A" team, it may scare people even more to vote for PAP as the possibility of PM losing becomes very real. So why not opposition send a combine team consist leaders of their youth wing? It could also help to build rapport and understanding among future opposition leaders.


With these 3 keep busy in their own wards, it will free up our other teams to fight their own election campaign without much interference. Other uncontested ministers are pretty much sitting ducks as they can't pull the crowds.

we are a parliamentary cabinet country, not a presidential system.

LHL, LKY or GCT lose elections, life go on, the remaining PAP MPs form the cabinet and rule themselves. This is how parliamentary system work.

But they would like to think that the world would end without them.

The PAPies are a sitting duck i the next GE!

Mahbok Tan - for screwing generations of Singaporens of their hard-earned money for housing and retirement.

Gan KIm Yong and Ng Eng Hen - for allowing hundreds of thousands of FTs onto our shores, unabated, at the expense of the livelihood and education of Singaporeans.

VIviene - for screwing up as a safeguard for Singaporeans and for being a total failure in building the Sportshub

Wong Kan Seng - for being a midget without any feelings of accountability and for wrongfully accepting the job of vice Chairman of GIC, a job which he is again not fit to hold

Lim Swee SAy - for being a national embarrassment with his logic and poor singing and for screwing Singaporeans workers as head of NTUC

Lim Boon Heng - for being a good for nothing except collecting a hefty paycheck.

And then there are the two Lees - for screwing Singaporeans and enriching their family members for 40+ years.

All are good targets.

All distators are like that. Most recent was Saddam who insisted that he is still the head of Iraq before being hanged!

Before we take on these people, we have to mark the 3 danger men first. Else any team send will be suicide squads.

Past experience have shown that just by avoiding a 3 corners fight is far from enough. There is an urgent need to formulate a macro grand election strategy and every party needs to play a part.
