Every speaker was concise and to the point. The criticisms of PAP are valid and close to the heart of the people. You won't hear any rhetorics and they were sincere in helping PE residents with confident in delivering their promise if elected.
Png Eng Huat stood out as best speaker among the core team (Now I can see LTK has selected the right choice of man for Hougang). They were humorous to deliver a point about PAP failure. He was clever in choosing his words, praising Houganites and Aljunied and that Punnggol East smell as sweet a town to manage.
Low Thia Kiang recapped what Teo Chee Hean said in the Hougang BE, and giggled that this BE happened for the same reason Teo chee Hean has laughed during Hougang BE. I find him quite entertaining though serious at times.
Lilian truly showed her speech with skill. I believe she can deliver well in parliament as compared to other women in PAP camp. If spar one-to-one with Tin Pei Lin, I think she could make TPL cry like a baby in parliament.
The hearty selling points came when Chen Sao Mao said Aljunied TC fees were reduced instead of increased as compared to other PAP TC.
Silvia Lim made an effort to answer questions put up by residents during WP campaigning. She was honest in the answers and confident that PE is a small SMC where WP can transit in smoothly. She will bring up the TC matter in their next rally. I am sure the AIM saga will be brought up against PAP.
I was glad there were Hokkien speaker among the panel of speakers. The man did very well too and bombarded Koh Poh Koon for playing up sympathy cards when his family was well-to-do in those days.
Apparently, there were many new young faces. LTK probably wanted them to be part of the rally as training ground for them to prepare themselves for the next GE.
Despite the muddy ground, the crowds was expectedly huge - at least 10 times those of PAP. I forsee it will be even larger on WP final rally because LTK, Gerald Giam and Silvia seems to keep their mystery cards until the next rally - a final nail on PAP coffin.
The good thing about the night on 19 Jan 2013 - the 24 hours non-stop rain, finally stopped at the hours when WP rally starts. Heaven got eyes.
