Opposition veteran, lawyer take polls position

Opposition veteran, lawyer take polls position

My Paper Thursday, Feb 05, 2015

SINGAPORE - Opposition veteran Goh Meng Seng and lawyer-activist M. Ravi have become the first two people who do not belong to a political party to declare that they will run in the next general election.

Both men announced their decision separately on Monday.

Mr Goh, 45, said in a Facebook post that he would "be back in politics to contest in the coming general election", while Mr Ravi, 45, announced at a one-hour press conference that he would stand in Ang Mo Kio GRC.

Speaking to The Straits Times yesterday, Mr Goh said he wanted to take on the "half-done" job of democratic reforms in Singapore, which he felt had been neglected by the opposition.

"When the Workers' Party won Aljunied GRC in 2011, it was one of the major milestones for the opposition, so I thought things would change and my mission was over. That was one of the main reasons I took a sabbatical," said the businessman.

"But in these three, four years, it has been quite disappointing. Nobody talks about democratic reform. Needless to say, the WP, with MPs inside Parliament, has more responsibility to do it."

He said he left party politics to focus on his business after the 2011 election.

Mr Goh had contested in two elections, each time with a different political party.

In May 2006, he stood and lost in Aljunied GRC on the WP ticket. He quit the WP six months later to take responsibility for Internet postings which he said had tarnished the party's reputation.

He joined the National Solidarity Party (NSP) in 2007 and was fielded in Tampines GRC in the 2011 polls. He quit it after the polls and left for Hong Kong, but returns to Singapore regularly.

On whether he would join a political party, form his own party or run as an independent, Mr Goh said he would keep his options open.

Meanwhile, Mr Ravi said he would lead a team of independents to challenge the People's Action Party team in Ang Mo Kio GRC, which is led by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

He said he picked the six-MP constituency because 25 per cent of its residents are his relatives, saying he has Chinese and Indian roots. The GRC had about 179,000 voters in the last polls.

Yesterday, he told The Straits Times that blogger Han Hui Hui, 23, and two of his legal interns - Charles Yeo, 24, and Liew Zheng Yang, 23 - have confirmed they would be part of his team.

He had considered blogger Roy Ngerng initially, but later felt the 33-year-old was not suitable as he was "too impulsive".

Mr Ravi is representing Ngerng and Han in a criminal case, for their roles in a Hong Lim Park protest on Sept 27.

Separately, he is also representing Ngerng in a defamation suit brought by PM Lee.

When asked why he chose not to join an existing party, Mr Ravi said he did not trust any of them.

But, he added, he will stay away from any constituency that is being contested by the Reform Party or Singapore Democratic Party.

On what he hopes to achieve in politics, he said his plans include giving free health care to all, lifting all online media regulations and abolishing the death penalty - a cause he has championed for more than 10 years.

He said he has set aside $1 million, saved over the years, for his campaign.
 
Re: Opposition veteran, lawyer take polls position

Goh is merely talk, nothing more.

As for Ravi, I am surprised he doesn't find HHH "too impulsive" and doesn't realize Reform Party contested AMK. He also means that he is prepared to go into a three-corner fight, which means to increase PAP's chance of winning, in this case the PM.

Am glad we have more than these 2 and beyond these 2 to look forward to a hopeful alternative.

GMS Manifesto for GE 2016

Haha.... it just prove that WP people lack creativity or even know what shame is!

Some WP people who are closer to me, have already admitted that some of their comrades have done so lah!

WP people aren't really First World and you are right, they don't make sense at all! Enough said!

WP leadership should thank me to teach their members a hard lesson on Freedom of Speech.

WP people are incapable of evolution and will continue their Dumb and Dumber ways...

One by one, WP MPs will prove to be disastrous.

It is strange Sylvia Lim didn't use her usual WP's "no comment" style when approached about this little romance.

WP MPs including LTK tried to do is to act blur about their contractor attempted to charge hawkers for high rise cleaning when they are not supposed to.

WP has lost quite a bit of respect from the middle ground with such wishy washy dealings

I know WP is now a famous University of Smart Alec

LTK has already surrendered, putting his head into the sand like an ostrich

CSM is "opportunist" when he spent most of his time, decades, outside Singapore but only come back for the GE when it was due in 2011.

It is apparent that the way WP handled this issue is dishonest and the quotation has actually put more doubts on WP's management.

Just too bad, SL and LTK have to continue that dishonest line of argument.

WP AHTC just act blur, see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil.

Has it occurred to you that it would be worst if VB mentioned about that email, to make a solid point about WP's inconsistent dishonest flip flop in its argument?

Don't underestimate PM Lee, he won't just step in if he doesn't have full confidence in the case.

I feel so sorry for WP and its people to stoop so low in standards

WP still stinks like shit to many people.

No wonder WP has tripped over itself again and again

It doesn't really matter, what matters most is that NEA is a valid point against WP.

Those WP amateurs have made it so bloody crude by taking photo of themselves with those boxes of masks!

WP just condone such acts and behavior from ATL, shaking off its responsibility.

I know WP can hardly read properly and that is why they keep tripping all over the place.

Alas... you have missed the point totally! Vivian B is just trying to be sarcastic lah!

Pritam has outdone himself again with this silly press statement.

Sylvia should not come out to accuse NEA of playing politics

haha... Pritam is hopeless.

Ego is with the Smart Alec WP before that.

WP cannot be excused of its faults.

Just too bad, all point to bad contradictions of WP AHTC.

WP should stop playing victim now. This is what NEA has attacked them. Don't need to snake in and out.

Why didn't WP do just that? Talk so much for what?

WP has screwed up big time.

WP has made terrible error. It is lucky that I am not the reporter

WP should do a political retreat, apologize and promise to investigate and review the system they have now.

Pritam can't even get basic facts right on what NEA is attacking AHTC of and yet he dares to write such press statement?

Can someone tell Pritam stop embarrassing himself can or not?

WP has been checkmated, dude.

Just to show what is fundamentally wrong with WP....

This may look as if it is a small matter right from the start but WP screw it up even bigger than it is supposed to be.

You will have to face this flatly, WP is walking down the slippery slope of cronyism.

WP is unprofessional. Any professional service and solution provider will always be there to solve problems, not to push blame later.

I guess whole lot of WP members will fall into your category of opportunists!

WP people are trained to shut up on policy issues but just attacking their critics...

I am sorry but I guess WP IB people also short of fuse as well.

Sometimes I feel that these Blue WP warriors are just too over-sensitive! Maybe even guilty-conscience!

WP is always playing safe but just get whatever good returns from other people's fight

To let WP lead such a movement is really funny.

WP people have been going around to sourly slime other people's good work, out of fear? Jealousy? Envy?

WP needs the change quite badly. This is already past the half way point since last GE2011. The whole problem of WP, from weak performance in Parliament to FMSS, all point to the need to change leadership.

LTK looks very pathetic when he needs to listen to interpretation while PM Lee hoot him while he tried very hard and sometimes LOST when he translated his thoughts from Chinese to English.

I think WP has lots of lapses and room for improvement.

WP the largest opposition only put up posters 3-4 days AFTER nomination day! If they are really serious about contesting, will that happen? Masak Masak, play play, just like chope place with tissue paper lah!

Well, WP people aren't objective at all.

ALL the press releases by WP in recent year will start with praising PAP first, without biting at all!

WP seems to be praising PAP more than attacking PAP policies and actions while other people like me and other activists are doing more than WP!

I am always supportive of WP. In fact, I spent more time supporting WP than any other party because I bother to write about their failings and things they should avoid; Critiques on the flaws and failings are very important for organization to grow and get better.

Likewise for me. I will vote for Captain Goh if he comes to my constituency. He is more man than Ah Gua Loong.
