We now know there is an issue with PAP recruitment process. We also know that their internal screening process is also faulty having picked the wrong person to be the Speaker of Parliament.
In contrast, WP chose to showcase their newest batch of recruits - 4 in particular at the Punggol East By elections rally. 2 lawyers, an academic and an engineer, 3 Chinese and a Malay. They all spoke and came across well. Prof Daniel Goh stood out and I had flashback. Anyone remember the PAP used to roll out new candidates in batches of 4 as part of the renewal process. Note they all had similar qualifications as those that WP rolled.
Is this an ominous signs of a slide that PAP is facing. It looks to me that good people are no longer offering themselves to the PAP or cannot be convinced. In the last 2 general elections and as well as the 2 by elections, the quality of candidates are suspect. Desmond Choo's uncle is a convicted ex PAP MP and wis again facing new criminal charges. For his campaign, he picked up the most corrupted cop in local history and a lawyer who was detained for secret society activities. Now we have doctor who can't get his story together.
What about the likes Tin Pei Ling, and the white belt and white shoes moron who can't even keep a job. Everyone is also wondering how Halimah ended being picked the speaker. Of the 80 PAP MPs, they could not find a more capable individual. Note the clear drop in quality. We also have first MP and Minister who has not even seen the end of his first term and he is happily suing critics. What does that tell you. Unable to defend the indefensible?
Here is the latest buzz in PAP Town - They actually think that not only East Coast is going to fall in 2016 but others wards are expected to fall, at least 2 more. With the 4 presented by WP, one does get the picture.
