PAP = "New Faces", Opposition = "Newbies"
http://www.mrbrown.com/blog/2011/03/pap-is-new-faces-opposition-is-newbies.html
I don't recall PAP first-time candidates being called "PAP Newbies" in the nation-building press.
They are usually called "New PAP candidates" or "New PAP Faces" or the "nucleus of the 4G Leadership".
But the papers seem very keen to call the Opposition ones "Newbies".
