CSJ has energy. He tried to come up with alternate policies. Due to his disappointments with the political structure, he decided to take his fight on two platforms - one within the system and the other without.
There are plus and minus on his platforms.
If we talk about the mainstream media not giving attention to the Opposition, well CSJ is a big exception - a lot of negative attention is heaped upon him. On top of that, some apparent opposition supporters add their voices to the hatred.
So he fights on two fronts - one against the PAP and the other against the Opposition. How can he win?
One question: if he decide to make a U-turn, will the Opposition deride him?
Why not, if that U-turn can further the opposition's cause.
Why not, since everyone makes wrong judgments.
Why not, especially as U-turns are signs of courage and humility.
Yet the answer is "Yes, the Opposition or at least their supporters will deride him".
