I have observed the performances, personal charisma and attitude of every individual opposition MPs in the past few decades.
Sorry to say that I think ‘the opposition unity’ will not work.
Not because it cannot work, but more because of selfishness, jealously and personal shortcomings of several key Opposition members.
Many current opposition members are very fortunate to be sitting in Parliament earning $16,000 a month for a relatively calm and complacent part-time job.
They are the lucky ones whom were voted into office not due to their personal attributes or talents but because voters hated the PAP, and would simply vote any opposition Tom, Dick and Harry into Parliament.
The current Opposition MPs love the present status-quo, that is, they may not wish to accept the responsibility (or have the experience) of running government but are happy to continue collecting the $16,000 part-time allowance. In fact, this generous allowance has made many Tom, Dick and Harry opposition MPs comfortable millionaires.
Let’s be clear, I am not totally blaming the opposition MPs for their under-performance in Parliament and current dysfunctional circumstance, but more the cunningness of the PAP for continuously suppressing the opposition for many decades.
Tan See Jay so far seems genuine in wanting to challenge the PAP and offer an alternative government. Whether he can achieve his goal, depends a lot (for a start) on the outcome of his success meetings with other respective opposition parties.
Hope Tan See Jay’s new party can at least agree on some key issues and work amicably with the other parties towards achieving a more united opposition front.

Does the 5 percent increase of salary, for the civil servants, includes the MP allowances.
If yes, then means another $800/- per month increase of allowance..a total of $16,800/- per month for doing nothing.
Roy, Leung, Hui Hui have been “slapping the driver” whilst the co-driver are still sleeping.

WP is definitely going to lose a lot of votes in the next GE because they have not fulfilled their Election promise of speaking up for Singaporeans which affect their lives! When LTK was asked by LHL whether WKS should be sacked for MAS escape he kept quiet, the answer is simple and straight forward,why was he afraid of? With the exception of GG, the rest of the WP MPs have lost their voices! When hot issues like. CPF, foreigners influx, high cost of living, healthcare cost, housing prices, transportation woe, environmental issues like dengue and haze are everyday online talks and ordinary Singaporeans like Roy , Leong Tze Hian. Hui Hui,are speaking up . They continue to keep mum even though netizens have persistently reminded them of their promises to speak up . 2016 is round the corner please do not ask voters to vote you in so that you can be our voices because all of you have lost your voices!

[h=1]14-09-06: Mid Autumn - Parade of Lantern Colours[/h]Updated <abbr title="Sunday, September 7, 2014 at 11:56pm" data-utime="1410105377" class="timestamp">on Sunday</abbr>

The mood was merry and the atmosphere lively at Punggol East SMC's Mid-Autumn Parade of Lantern Colours. The event, held onSaturday, 6th September at Blk 112 Rivervale Walk, saw a healthy turnout as residents came together to light colourful, kaleidoscopic lanterns and participate in a short parade led by MP Miss Lee Li Lian. A wheelchair performance to showcase the strength we all can have even in our perceived disabilities, was to me, the highlight of the event. We are glad that residents, young and old, bonded over competitive games such as guessing the weight of a giant (6.75kg) mooncake, pomelo peeling and fun Chinese riddles. All in all, this gathering of our Punggol East community of residents and volunteers was a good reminder that we have much to be thankful for.

Workers party is PAP (B) team
WP is a silence party.
Voting for WP is indirectly voting for PAP

Don't trust PAP:
September 12, 2014 at 10:34 am (Quote)
Is Singapore truly a democracy?
PAP is doing everything to stay in power, gerrymanagering, importing and converting foreigners into citizens who would vote for PAP, withholding information from the citizenry.
Did these exiles really telling lies or having we been hearing lies and propaganda from PAP and pro-PAP SPH news media?
Is our cpf money still there for us to withdraw when we need it?
Is PAP still tightening foreigner import? Why then I am seeing more foreigners everywhere, in CBD, my housing block?
Why are more Singaporeans becoming jobless and more people are earning less than $1,000a month than before? when PAP says foreigners are bringing more and better jobs.

WP continues to ignore political exiles
......

"To all political exiles, sorry no love from WP!" - Low Thia Khiang
http://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2014...banned-by-mda/

The success of this film again highlighted the glaring failure of WP, both inside and outside parliament.

For over 20 years, this self-styled "First World Opposition" have continued to co-drive with PAP to ignore the sorry plight of political exiles.....Many of these exiles are the Towkay's former comrades like Francis Seow and Tang Liang Hong. Yet WP has failed to speak up for these political exiles despite increasing their MP numbers exponentially. Instead they choose to spend their time on such important issues as bird-droppings and dog-barkings.

Those overseas film critics who give raving reviews and awards to the film have to ask themselves this simple question:

"Where on earth is the Singapore First World Opposition? Where have they been sleeping and idling for the past 20 years? Do they deserve to be called an Opposition?"

Those political exiles and their family can condemn themselves to a life of perpetual wilderness even if the PAP is replaced by WP in the next election.




Perhaps it is a blessing to the poltical exiles that WP has never spoken for them.....If WP were ever to speak up for them, they would most probably flip-flop and turn against the political exiles to make things worse for them:

Prata Singh is supposed to speak up for the the Indian community against the alcohol ban in Little India.....but end up flip-flopping and begging the PAP desperately for them to ban all Indians from drinking alcohol all over the island.....


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZULby54HD9U

Instead of speaking up for the Indian community, WP makes things worse for them.....and succeeded in making the general public to think that Indians are all hopeless alcoholics who are only concerned whether or not they can drink in Little India, and nothing else.

So sick of WP’s silence.. Why isn’t the co-driver slapping the shameless driver over such blatant nonsense?!
Really hope other Opposition parties like RP, SFP, SPP, SDP and NSP will win a seat or two in next GE.
We really need more MPs to pressure PAP to STOP destroying Singaporeans’ lives and livelihoods.
May LKY repent in hell.
May the e**l PAP and their cunning cronies burn in hell when they die.
Majullah Singapura!
