PAP youngest candidate: 27 -yr-old Tan Pei Ling. Is she ready to be MP?

[Robert Half]

If your criteria for ineligibility to be an MP is "never eat hardships before", more than half of the incumbents will have to step down.
Perhaps more than half of the candidates, both pap and opposition, will not be eligible to stand either.

hehehe my criteria is preferably not those in elite classes...

 

[Frankiestine]

Age should be no barrier to becoming an MP. You need intellience and a HEART. Courage too. The question is, will she speak up for her residents from the bottom of her heart? Or will she merely endorse what her bosses want?

She sounds like another elite in the making doubt if she really understand the common man grievances.

 

[kingrant]

You mean this?

She looks very raw... If she stands, I say good fuck to her... She needs all the fuck cos she comes across as bimbotic...

 

[Robert Half]

She should be send to a SMC .....to see whether people will vote her in.

Not GRC

Those pappies haven't got the balls to send a newbie into battle in a SMC. In a GRC she can hide behind the biggies and enter through the back door.

Can see how she can relate to the common man with her limited life experiences and probably sheltered lifestyle. Will likely champion some meaningless bimbo or arty farty causes as Pappies want to show they are in touch with the younger set. Her husband should have been a candidate since he is a trusted member of the Elite......

 

[aangsc]

Her husband is PPS to LHL. Can she offend her hubby's boss? Any MIW ever dared to speak up?

Your information very tock-kong !!! Your are in inner circle is it ? Most likely some nice words to score a few points for husband and wife. these are good obedient candidates, unlikely to create problem for party.

Will you use a back door if there is one available for you?

Lee Kuan Yew once said that election is not fun and games. This election, PAP might field its youngest candidate since Tan Soo Khoon time - 27 years old Tan Pei Ling. Is she ready to be an MP? Watch this 2009 PAP Party convention video and judge for yourself. She appears at the end on 2.53mins. ...

Are new PAP candidates really sincere?
Well, as of now, according to her, the "meaningful solutions and initiatives" still remain in a provisional state of "maybe" only.
("Maybe" was strategically not subtitled by usual politically swayed state media subtitling service. [Youtube: PAP/TPL@1m17s])

Hehe no doubt if TPL offers me her back door I will gladly "anal"yze her..

Bro, I got the information from overt source - the report.

 

[JWNY]

looks good

MP Matthias Yao said she was very mature, but "as MacPherson is within a GRC, residents who wish to consult older MPs on matters can always do so".

WTF????

Vote her to be an over-priced flower vase in the GRC???...she might as well remain as a grassroot adviser

 

[nameless]

With her level of "maturity", I personally don't think she can make it. Even I can guarantee to do a better job than her.
