Q&A with CPT (NS) GOH MENG SENG

[steffychun]

In considering the situation back then, I was extremely happy that opposition, through WP, has finally breached PAP’s GRC fortress. The first milestone I have set for my 15 years of participation has come to fruition

Eh... what he mean? He set milestone for wp? In what capacity? He really damn thickskin. Take wp credit as his own.

He takes everyone's credit. Except LKY.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.. We have too many Mickey Mouse Oppo parties in Singapore... Only the WP and the SDP are credible enough to challenge the dominance of the Pappy Scums..

The political landscape is moving towards a 2-party system and that could only mean depriving the oxygen for non WP oppositions. Hence for them including PPP to stay relevant, they need to survive within the cracks of the 2-party system in hope that they become the critical minority party that can tilt the balance between PAP and WP. I think GMS certainly see the trend and will adopt the strategy of attacking the 2 main players namely PAP and WP in order to and market his party as the 'objective third force. This is different from the strategy of other oppositions which will likely focus on attacking PAP.

Moving towards a 2-party system is different from already being a 2-party system. Opposition parties who want to take on PAP and WP at the same time, the media will only give coverage to the WP part and people will wonder what your party exists for.

In a straight fight, you can still get opposition votes. PPP is not likely to get a straight fight. In a 3CF or MCF, PPP will get its wish and become the third ie the deposit-losing party it wants to be, because the second party was attacking the PAP but you are an opposition attacking an opposition.

To most people, GMS is just an opposition figure who only shows up during election period. Most sane voters would reject him and support the PAP candidate, who had been active in the ward's grassroots activities for the few years.

Intelligent voters will look at the big picture and use their opposition vote to give a smack on the PAP's face.

We get more oppo into Parliament first. Then we can scrutinize them to death and haggle 24/7 over quality of oppo candidates.

It is the PAP IB who keep goading people into getting their priorities wrong.

TJS is a special case. He confused even me.

But not again.
