If you try that one more time, I'll give you an infarction! This is sexual harassment.

The disadvantage of simultaneous PE and GE polling for PAP is obvious, isn't it? People split their PE and GE votes. The big losers are going to be PAP MP candidates.

You think this is pre-1997 Penang is it?

 

[kukubird58]

hahaha...I say again.......
PE is a non-event.....it will be a walk-over.......those waiting for an extra PH.....sorry to disappoint u but got to tan kuku.

How so? If they are dissatisfied with the PR selection they will take it out on the GE?

You have a point there but there's another to consider. If GE is called before PE, then there'd be only a few months' gap in between. Election fever still hasn't cooled off. PAP has to make sure of a PE sure-win or walkover just as before. If GE is called after PE, there'd still be only a few months gap in between. Election fever still hasn't cooled off whether there'd be a PE contest or walkover. Election fever is generally bad for PAP.

Do you mean pre-2007 Penang?

most peoples don't split their GE and PE votes. You vote for PAP and you will vote for a PAP endorsed President candidate. In most countries when national and local elections are held together, the results showed the % of votes the parties gathered for both elections are very close - within 2-5%.

If PAP are unconfident about this GE, a sneak preview of their GE % of votes ( by constituencies? ) that will be closely reflected in the earlier PE should be considered.

The oppositions got 39% of nationwide votes in 1991 GE. The Chua guy got 41.3% in 1993 PE. Chua basically got all the oppositions votes two years later from last GE with +- 3% margin.

GE will be after budget announcement, many goodies out to the poor. After GE, MRT and Bus fare increase. Want to bet?:oIo:

 

[Undefined]

Pre-1997 when Penang will vote oppo to Parliament and BN for state.

If being a PM of a country and if he finds that just making a GE date is so difficult ,then he doesn't deserve to be a PM and drawing farking so high salary.

 

[kingrant]

That is because deep down inside him, he doesnt want to call for one. He is in denial, as he knows his fate is in the balance.

He will lead his papa's party down the road to ruins with the smallest majority ever since 1959. He will see his Parliamentary majority whittled down to size. His election strategy is in ruins with Woody Goh fibbling and fumbling with the tin Pei Lins and Foo Meng Hars.

If being a PM of a country and if he finds that just making a GE date is so difficult ,then he doesn't deserve to be a PM and drawing farking so high salary.

 

[iconchia]

Knn.. don't talk cock lah... you blame government for hiding these facts from people? These facts are easily accessible from AGC website. Why your dick cannot steam do you blame the government?

Why dont you blame lazy Singaporeans who don't even bother to do simple-fact finding before jumping to conslusions? Or those stupid ones who blatantly lied to mindless shift the blames to the government?

第四十回　华山论剑（1）

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


　　欧阳锋冷冷的道：“早到早比，迟到迟比。老叫化，你今日跟我是比武决胜呢，还是性命相拚？”洪七公道：“既赌胜负，亦决死生，你下手不必容情。”欧阳锋道：“好！”他左手本来放在背后，突然甩将出来，手里握着蛇杖，将杖尾在山石上重重一登，道：“就在这儿呢，还是换个宽敞的所在？”洪七公尚未回答，黄蓉接口道：“华山比武不好，还是到船里去比。”洪七公一怔，问道：“甚么？”黄蓉道：“好让欧阳先生再来一次恩将仇报、背后袭击啊！”洪七公哈哈大笑，道：“上一次当，学一次乖，你别指望老叫化再能饶你。 ”欧阳锋听黄蓉出口讥嘲，却是丝毫不动声色，双腿微曲，杖交右手，左掌缓缓运起蛤蟆功的劲力。

　　黄蓉将打狗棒交给洪七公，说道：“师父，打狗棒加九阴神功，跟这老奸贼动手，不必讲甚么仁义道德。”洪七公心想：“单凭我原来武功，要胜他原极不易，待会尚要与黄老邪比武，若与老毒物打得筋疲力尽，就不能敌黄老邪了。”当下点了点头，接过打狗棒，左一招“打草惊蛇”，右一招“拨草寻蛇”，分攻两侧。欧阳锋与他对敌数次，从未见他使过打狗棒法，当日在大海火船中性命相搏，情势紧迫，洪七公却也一直未用。欧阳锋曾见黄蓉使这棒法时招数精奇，早就不敢小视了，这时见洪七公两招打出，棒夹风声，果然非同小可。当下蛇杖抖处，挡左避右，直攻敌人中宫。他的蛇杖已失落两次，现下手中所持的是第三次新制，杖上人头雕得更是诡奇可怖，只是两条怪蛇虽然毒性无异，但驯养未久，临敌之时却不如最初那两条这般熟习灵动。洪七公当日背心被他怪蛇咬中，又受他狠力一掌，险些送命，直养了将近两年方始康复。那是他一生从所未有之大败，亦是从所未遇之奇险，此仇岂可不报？当下运棒成风，奋力进攻。两人第一次华山论剑，争的是荣名与《九阴真经》；第二次在桃花岛过招，是为了郭靖与欧阳克争婚；那均是只决胜负，不关生死。第三次海上相斗，生死只隔一线，但洪七公手下尚自容让；现下第四次恶战，才是各出全力，再无半点留情。两人均知对方年齿虽增，武功却只有较前更是狠辣，只要自己稍有疏神，中了对方一招半式，难免命丧当地。两人翻翻滚滚的斗了两百余招，忽然月亮隐没，天色转黑。这是黎明之前的昏黯不明，转瞬随即破晓。两人生怕黑暗中着了对方毒手，只是严守门户，不敢抢攻。郭靖与黄蓉不禁担心，踏上数步，若是洪七公有甚差失，立即出手相助。郭靖眼里瞧着二人恶斗，心中思潮起伏：“这二人都是当今一等一的高手，可是一个行侠仗义，一个恃强为恶，可见武功本身并无善恶，端在人之为用。行善则武功愈强愈善，肆恶则愈强愈恶。”到后来天色阴暗，两人招式已瞧不清楚，但闻兵刃破空和窜扑呼喝之声，不禁心中怦怦乱跳，暗想：“师父因运功疗伤，耽误了两年进修。高手功劲原本差不得分毫，这一进一退，莫要由此而输在欧阳锋的手里。若是如此，当初实不该三次相饶。”他又想起丘处机曾解说“信义 ”两字，该分大信大义与小信小义之别，若是因全一己的小信小义而亏大节，那就算不得是信义了。想到此处，热血上涌，心道：“虽然师父与他言明单打独斗，但若他害了师父，从此横行天下，却不知有多少好人要伤在他的手里。我从前不明‘信义’二字的真意，以致做了不少胡涂事出来。”当下心意已决，双掌一错，就要上前相助。

　　忽听黄蓉叫道：“欧阳锋，我靖哥哥和你击掌相约，饶你三次不死，哪知你仍是恃强欺我。你言而无信，尚不及武林中一个无名小卒，怎有脸来争武功天下第一的名号？”欧阳锋一生恶行干了不计其数，可是说出话来始终说一是一，说二是二，从无反悔，生平也一直以此自负，若非事势迫切，他决不致违约强逼黄蓉，此时与洪七公斗得正紧，忽听她提起此事，不禁耳根子发烧，心神大乱，出杖稍偏，险些被打狗棒戳中。黄蓉又叫道：“你号称西毒，行事奸诈原也不在话下，可是要一个后生小辈饶你三次不死，已经丢尽了脸面，居然还对后辈食言，真叫江湖上好汉笑歪了嘴巴。欧阳锋啊欧阳锋，有一件事，普天下当真无人及得上你老人家，那就是不要脸天下第一！”欧阳锋大怒，但随即想到这是黄蓉的诡计，有意要引得自己气恼惭愧，只要内力运转微有不纯，立时便败在洪七公手下，于是便给她来个听而不闻。哪知黄蓉越骂越是刁钻古怪，武林中许多出名的坏事与他本来全无干系，却都栽在他的名下。给她这么东拉西扯的一阵胡说，似乎普天下就只他一个歹人，世间千千万万桩恶事皆是他一人所作所为。倘若单是说他大做阴毒坏事，欧阳锋本来也不在乎，可是黄蓉数说他做的尽是江湖上诸般不流的下三滥勾当，说见他向灵智上人苦苦哀求，又叫沙通天做“亲叔叔”，硬要拜彭连虎为“干爹”，为的是乞求一张毒药的秘方，种种肉麻无耻，匪夷所思；曾听得他一再向完颜洪烈自荐，要做他的亲兵队长，得以每晚在赵王府中守夜。至于郭靖在西域如何饶他三次不死，如何从流沙中将他拉出来，更是加上了十倍油盐酱醋，说得他不堪已极。初时欧阳锋尚能忍耐，到后来听得她有些话实在太过不近情理，忍不住反驳几句。不料黄蓉正是要惹他与自己斗口，越加的跟他歪缠胡闹。这么一来，欧阳锋拳脚兵刃是在与洪七公恶斗，与黄蓉却另有一场口舌之争，说到费心劳神，与黄蓉的斗口似犹在与洪七公角力之上。又过半晌，欧阳锋心智渐感不支，心想：“我若再不使《九阴真经》的功夫，定然难以取胜。”他虽未能依照黄蓉所说将全身经脉逆转，但修习了半年，凭着武学渊深，内功浑厚，竟尔已有小成，当下蛇杖挥动，忽变怪招。洪七公吃了一惊，凝神接战。黄蓉叫道：“ 源思英儿，巴巴西洛着，雪陆文兵。”欧阳锋一怔：“这几句话是甚么意思？”他哪知黄蓉全是在信口胡说，卷起舌头，将一些全无意义的声音乱喊乱叫。只是她叫嚷的语气却变化多端，有时似是愤怒喝骂，有时似是诚恳劝诫，忽尔惊叹，忽尔欢呼，突然之间，她用追问的语气连叫数声，显是极迫切的质问。欧阳锋虽欲不理，却不由自主的道：“你问甚么？”黄蓉以假梵语答了几句。欧阳锋茫然不解，竭力往郭靖所写的“经文”中去追寻，一时之间，脑中各种各样杂乱无章的声音、形貌、招数、秘诀，纷至沓来，但觉天旋地转，竟不知身在何处。洪七公见他杖法中忽然大露破绽，叫声：“着！”一棒打在他的天灵盖上。这一棒是何等的劲力，欧阳锋脑中本已乱成一团，经此重击，更是七荤八素，不知所云，大叫一声，倒拖了蛇杖转身便走。郭靖叫道：“往哪里跑？”纵身赶上，欧阳锋忽然跃起，在半空连翻三个筋斗，转瞬间连滚带爬的转入崖后，不知去向。洪七公、郭靖、黄蓉三人相顾愕然，骇极而笑。洪七公叹道：“蓉儿，今日打败老毒物，倒是你的功劳大。只不过咱师徒联手，以二敌一，未免胜之不武。”黄蓉笑道：“师父，这功夫不是你教的罢？”洪七公笑道：“你这功夫是天生的。有你爹爹这么鬼精灵的老头，才有你这么鬼精灵的女儿。”忽听山后有人叫道：“好啊，他人背后说短长，老叫化，你羞也不羞？”黄蓉大叫：“爹爹！”跃起奔去。此时朝暾初上，阳光闪耀下一人青袍素布，缓步而来，正是桃花岛主东邪黄药师。黄蓉扑上前去，父女俩搂在一起。黄药师见女儿脸上稚气大消，已长成一个亭亭少女，与亡妻更为相似，心中又是欢喜，又是伤感。洪七公道：“黄老邪，我曾在桃花岛上言道：你闺女聪明伶俐，鬼计多端，只有别人上她的当，她决不能吃别人的亏，叫你不必担心。你说，老叫化的话错了没有？”药师微微一笑，拉着女儿的手，走近身去，说道：“恭喜你打跑了老毒物啊。此人一败，了却你我一件大心事。”洪七公道：“天下英雄，唯使君与叫化啦。我见了你女儿，肚里的蛔虫就乱钻乱跳，馋涎水直流。咱们爽爽快快的马上动手，是你天下第一也好，是我第一也好，我只等吃蓉儿烧的好菜。”黄蓉笑道：“不，你若败了，我才烧菜给你吃。”洪七公道：“呸，不怕丑，你想挟制我，是不是？”黄药师道：“老叫化，你受伤之后耽误了两年用功，只怕现下已不是我的对手。蓉儿，不论谁胜谁败，你都烧菜相请师父。 ”洪七公道：“是啊！这才是大宗师说的话，堂堂桃花岛岛主，哪能像小丫头这般小气。咱们也别等正午不正午，来罢！”说着竹棒一摆，就要上前动手。黄药师摇头道：“你适才跟老毒物打了这么久，虽然说不上筋疲力尽，却也是大累了一场，黄某岂能捡这个便宜？咱们还是等到正午再比，你好好养力罢。”洪七公虽知他说得有理，但不耐烦再等，坚要立时比武。黄药师坐在石上，不去睬他。黄蓉见两人争执难决，说道：“爹爹，师父，我倒有个法儿在此。你俩既可立时比武，爹爹又不占便宜。”洪七公与黄药师齐道：“好啊，甚么法儿？”黄蓉道：“你们两位是多年好友，不论谁胜谁败，总是伤了和气。可是今日华山论剑，却又势须分出胜败，是不是？”洪、黄二人本就想

He will do it soon possibly in early may bcos $$$ is still fresh in pple's minds... Just mho

 

[KuanTi01]

As usual the same scenario every elections. He will continue inthe same vein although the date has already been decided. The announcement will probably be made one week before the date. I am not sure but it will be the same as the last election.

Couldn't agree more! The same old childish reply for every GE! My guess is that he would have decided and finalise the date by now. Just trying to fix the oppo, that's the truth!
