[Sg] - Chan Chun Sing says Singaporeans are not being fair to him and the PAP

[UltimaOnline]

Chan Chun Sing complains It's Unfair: when the PAP puts up candidates from humble backgrounds who’ve achieved stellar careers in civil service or uniform, their working-class roots are virtually ignored. Simply by virtue of their social mobility and PAP affiliation, these candidates are cast as perpetuating an “elitist” party narrative.

If the PAP fields a Harvard graduate, the reaction, as Mr Chan puts it in the Ya Lah But interview, would be “Alamak! See, so elitist!” Yet when the opposition presents someone with the same prestigious credentials, that person becomes a celebrated “star catch”.

The WP’s Michael Thng, with his Harvard Kennedy School master’s degree, isn’t explicitly mentioned – but one suspects he’s in some way the source of this observation. Online commentators have widely hailed the Tampines GRC candidate as among the opposition party’s prized catches.

For the full picture, viewers should watch both podcasts – though at 90 and 120 minutes, they require some commitment.

What emerges is the portrait of the evolution of Mr Chan, who, upon his entry to politics in 2011, was lampooned for, among other things, his unpolished English and inability to shed military mannerisms. Now he seems to be embracing his authentic self – and calling out what he sees as double standards in how PAP politicians are perceived and unrealistic expectations of what they should be like, once elected.

In both interviews, he readily concedes – almost wearing it as a badge of honour – that his “English is not very good”.

In the Ya Lah But interview he said: “If someone like me whose English is not very good, joins the PAP, you say... PAP standards dropped, can’t even pronounce his words properly.”

On the flip side, if someone like him joined an opposition party, the reaction would be “Wow, he is so relatable. He speaks like us, without the English twang.”

One can sense the frustration – even if he delivers this message in a jocular manner.

Can you be fair to Singaporeans and resign.

 

[laksaboy]

You are anchoring Tanjong Pagar GRC, which encompasses many areas that have nothing to do with Tanjong Pagar.

Still dare to talk cock about fairness?

 

[congo9]

Well..
You need to stand up to scrutiny.
Like PS is being drag Into and through the m&d for that indian half breed lady.

 

[batman1]

Vote him out in Tg Pagar GRC !!!

 

[ftan42]

When the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rose from 7% to 8%, and then again from 8% to 9%, did you voice your opinion?
When the Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) were increased twice, did you speak up?
When transportation costs went up, did you speak up?
When inflation increased, did you speak up?

 

[Hightech88]

If this CB Kia has the guts, he should come out of Tanjong Pagar GRC, be a man and contest in a SMC vs WP instead of hiding under LKY ward which has always been PAP's stronghold NBCB.

Chan Chun Sing’s Chye Tow Kuay hard to digest​

There are analogies and there are analogies. And I’m not sure what point Acting MCYS minister Chan Chun Sing was trying to make when he said this:

“(For example,) you go to Peach Garden, you eat the S$10 XO Sauce chye tow kuay (fried carrot cake), you can be quite happy right? Because you are satisfied with the service and so on. On the other hand, you can go to a hawker centre, even if they charge you S$1.50, you might not want to eat it if the quality is not good.”

This (failed) analogy was actually a follow-up to his point that pay wasn’t a factor in his decision to joining the PAP. To give more context to his comment, read the full thing here.

The drawing of electoral boundaries and only informing the PMO is very fair indeed

CCS the scholar clown fails to analyse why?
Let me tell him why.
It's because the people have lost trust in PAP. Due to decades of lies, false promises, non stop taxation increase, ever shrinking homes at ever increasing costs, non existent free medical, forever unattainable private transport, job creation not for citizens but foreigners, and many more I can state.
Vote CCS out for his inability to see the obvious, how to run the country?

 

[Sinkiesuk]

Fck him lj la. He tat CB hum ji face only care for the scavengers and always say meritocracy which means scavengers can always better than local.

 

[True Believer]

When the Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) were increased twice, did you speak up?
When transportation costs went up, did you speak up?
When inflation increased, did you speak up?

The PAP ministers would rather not speak up about all these unjustified taxes than risk losing their million dollar wages, which are actually "bribes" to toe the party line; groupthink is firmly entrenched in the PAP owing to the obscene pay on offer.

This fucktard still lost touch of the ground after so many years
