Yesterday, I met a relative who is staying in Seng's ward. Unlike what 154th is spinning about Seng, he is indeed one arrogant idiot who always talk down to poor and elderly seeking his help at MPS. When the market opposite the CC was burned down, he was actually bochap until LHL came down. Then he gets into action and starts to wayang in front of LHL and the media, and promise to give cheaper rental for the temp market after the hawkers met with LHL to voice their concern. So those who credited it to Seng is wrong. My relative says that one of his neighbours, an elderly woman, who went to Seng to seek help over repossession of her flat, came back complaining that Seng refuses to help her. A month later, this old lady committed suicide. As to why the temple leaders are so supportive of Seng, it is the $ from govt projects.
