When first we practice to deceive. This is how PAP tricks the electorate that all is fair and above board.
Who would ever have thought it would come to this? PAP is now actually running scared stiff of Dr Chee!

Dr Vincent Wijeysingha:

CNA insisted that all participants should fulfil three criteria:

1. they should be a member of their party’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) and
2. an office-bearer, and
3. eligible to stand for election.

Its justification was that it wanted participants who had a stake in the coming elections, an unstable line of reasoning since all members of political parties have a stake in elections: the winning of seats in Parliament is one of the key tasks of a political party.

No doubt, the criteria set by CNA were designed to keep from participating in the programme the SDP’s Secretary-General, Dr Chee Soon Juan, by far its most eloquent and compelling advocate.

I had asked CNA for the names of the other participants; this information was not given to me. So, I only found out who the PAP reps were on the day. The following day, I checked up the PAP website and found that

1. Josephine Teo meets only 33% of CNA’s criteria, ie she is eligible to stand for elections.
2. She is neither a CEC member nor
3. an office-bearer within it.

I telephoned the same CNA executive who had refused to give me the names of the other participants and was first told that Ms Teo was an MP. I reminded my interlocutor that this met only one of the criteria.

I was then told that the criteria only applied to the opposition participants. I reminded her that this was not made known in advance and reminded her also of her reluctance to reveal the names of the other participants. Clearly, they did not wish me to query Ms Teo’s inclusion in the programme, since she did not meet the criteria.

The executive had no further defenses to offer and therefore I was unable to come to any other conclusion than that the criteria were only to apply to the non-PAP participants, and more so that the SDP’s Secretary-General, whom the PAP is so fearful of, should be kept out of the programme.

I'm glad that CB who insulted all Singaporean as "from poor stock" was invited to the forum. Her presence turns me off immediately. Her f*** face gave me more resolution to vote for the opposition even if a monkey is pitted against her.

Anyone but Josephine Teo!

The issue is not Josephine Teo. Even if a donkey is brought in under the PAP banner there is not case to answer. The issue is how SDP position itself, the lack of enagagement with Singaporeans, their constant travels overseas and interactions with organisations that does not resonate with Singaporeans, and the manner they handle themselves with the press.

Anyone with half a brain will know that Singapore oppressive regime is used as the argument and reason for NGO travel and largesse by members of SDP. People still cannot understand why they operate with people like Gopalan Nair, Alan Shadrake, Ravi, Gomez etc

Albeit VW is completely a different entity and a breath of fresh air.
