Summary of the Wackiest GE run-up ever

[scroobal]

2011 GE surely must rank as the wackiest GE ever. In the past run-ups we had people who were jobless, wore slippers, clueless having a go. This GE the crazies have not only infected the opposition but also the ruling party. Here is a list thus far

PAP - Ms Tin and Ms Foo would have failed on a number of accounts even if they attempted to run for a seat of any decent social or country club governing committee. Interesting, they would not have even bothered to nominate themselves for such clubs to avoid being ridiculed. It is no surprise that Singaporeans are wondering how these 2 were ever considered. Lim Swee Say and Chris de Souza are looking rather sheepish as of late.

NSP - Never ever seen an opposition party making so much waves for all the wrong reasons. Started very well, even managed to scare the old man to issue threats over Tampines and clearly made the Minister of National Dev start fillding with the property market in desperation. The way they staked seats one would have assumed that they had some decent quality candidates to place in these seats. The more important issue is that the GMS is not the actual Sec Gen but Sebastian is.

RP - The word EQ and KJ are poles apart. Forget EQ but common sense would have at least suggested not to repeat the same mistake again. Looks like Edmund and KJ are meant for each other after all. Can anyone ever imagine KJ ever having a discussion with his cabinet. It will probably be one sided with resignations as the order of the day.

SDP - Menagerie would be the best description for this party. The stately and elegant VW as the swan, Chee the one eyed owl, Gandhi the wily mongoose, Jaslyn the promiscuous bunny, John the vietnamese pot bellied pig, Gomez, the wandering mongrel, and the rest being sheep and gullible lambs. From civil disobedience and the sudden desire to take the elections seriously. I am sure Singaporeans are wondering what a waste that VW is in the wrong party.

WP - You got to give it to this party for its excellent discipline. The tension within the party is high as members are seeking assurance that they are the once chosen to take up the 6 to 7 quite lucrative seats. To reduce the tension they have chosen not take in any newcomers. Unfortunately it is also the party that has enough informants to keep the PAP fully aware of its plans. LTK and Sylvia is smart enough to keep close to their chest to the best of their ability. They are also smart enough to sense that there is one individual that has close links to 4 parties and moves easily between these parties.

Back to PAP - Old man as expected is stepping down. Latest indication is that one proposed nominee is expected to withdrawn. Khaw status is still not clear. Khaw final status is going to be determined by WP more than anything else.

SF - Looks like the repeat of Human Right debacle.

U sure u r a lawyer?

PAP will groom these girls after they are elected
Previous experience is not a prerequisite to be a politician in MP. The desire to serve is.
Very few successful women are willing to commit like they do.

You forgot to mention:
- Mr. Nin Lao Pay MP who drives jaguar and plays poker
- joker goh who keeps whacking own pple
- the 3 stoogers who "stand up" for TPL
- Yes-sir man WKS who thinks dreaming the Spore dream is UN-impt... unlike the legacy making dream teams
- TCH who likes to use phrases like "very serious", "very dangerous" if opposition comes in... machiam MS escaping (although he did escape... thru toilet !!! )
- LHL who like to make fun of little boy from Hougang
- LHL+TCH who TCSS say only gd pple join the peep-show party, the rest commoners get a rest
.... (list goes on and on and on and on....)

Go groom your mother cheebye lah!

 

[kingrant]

I am thinking the Tin pot. But they are so damn hard up of woman candidates that it seems any lass in skirts out on the streets with a Kate spade carrier bag who left school not so long ago can be chosen.

Latest indication is that one proposed nominee is expected to withdrawn.

The GRC model has always been to make mountains out of molehills for Opposition parties and as trojan horse to sneak in the duds. Except all these years, they denied it. This GE shows that the PAP knows that it can insult the people and probably go scot free with it when they dont bother to hide obvious duds anymore. A kind of in yr face Fuck You and your IQ to the people of Singapore.

Dear Scroobal

Another Irony, the SDP talks about 10 promises and bread and butter as a Campaign Slogan and Issue. The WP has " towards a first world parliament as a slogan". We live in crazy times

Nothing new about crazy times. GMS says it's not MP duty to take care of ward.

LOL good one.

It just goes to show how much time SDP has wasted under Chee. After Chee took over, he immediately embark on his human right crusade. SDP performance over the last 2 GEs were woeful to say the least. Even as recent as the last 2 years he was still trying to pull his stupid stunt. Living in a world of his own not realizing the majority of SGreans doesn't care. It would be good if he realize that bread and butter issues are more important to SGreans but somehow I seriously doubt it. He's probably pushing the panic button, trying to get last min votes. SDP needs a change in leadership and a serious overhaul of the entire party if it is to ever get back to the glory days of the Chiam era.

WP on the other hand have been going up and up. Since they kicked out the radical element(JBJ) they've been doing well. I hope they grab a GE this time round

 

[scroobal]

You can't make this up. They have been consistent in getting the messaging wrong. Cute, catchy, certainly topical in the NGO and western sense but completely off the mark where they are concerned.

Half of SDP are disqualified. They want to form government with 5 or 6 MPs? Better arrange with Cpt. Goh for a joint coup, get hold of the tanks before LKY does. Coalition? Everybody knows the infamous tyranny of SDP without negotiability, then turn around and accuse other parties of not negotiating and compromising, very very loudly and rowdy as if that's the point they've won and collecting the trophy.

 

[Perspective]

Anyone would be worried for the country, given the direction political parties are going.

PAP - this "4th generation" batch is the worst slate of candidates ever. NTUC NTUC NTUC etc. like there is only one recruiting ground. Finally a SC "calibre" Foo Mee Har came along then we hear that she is of dubious background. The only two that may impress is the EMA chief and one other SAF general but a future with 2 functionable cabinet minister quality is really worrying because by the time they take over PAP may still be much in power.

WP - looks impressive? Within the circle its internal management is well-known for being pretty bad. Only 10% of its members are appreciated and 90% are treated like bangalas, making them fray at the edges all the time. They harp on quality and the end result bags some achievements but not fully consistent. There will be growing pains when it wins more seats. Departures and fade outs won't be unexpected in future.

SDP - still don't like the apparent fact that there is an invisible foreign hand behind them. What is the country going to turn to when they take power. Also do not like the way they twist certain facts knowingly, as much as I don't like to agree with PAP about them.

NSP - don't know any other party where people overwhelmingly have been ex-member of some party, meaning it is the 2nd or 3rd choice for all its members, but yet they funnily seem proud of recruiting "experience". I also don't know any other party with more members that are misinformed, self-assuring and delusional due to their own agendas, grudges or egos resulting in certain words and actions some which goes to MSM for everyone's "glory".

RP - honestly, KJ should be the one to resign. As if the party founded by his father isn't small enough, he performed a near-miracle by making it even smaller. This party is the only legacy that his father left behind and he has destroyed it without being abashed. Myopic people are still rooting for KJ despite the fact that he's the first prominent opp leader in history to end up fielding only one candidate - himself.

SDA - it seems like this party is devoid of basic communication quality. No other party has anyone coming up with the kind of degrees and paper qualifications not inferior to other parties but speak like they just came out of a refrigerator and without anyone understanding them - all the way from the chiefs down to their latest catches.

SPP - this party is probably only as good as Chiam's existence and his wife. Everything revolves around this couple. With the constant flip-flops, it would be hard to convince voters of security when they vote for them. PP is likely a goner.

The rest, not worth mentioning as not even sure why they exist.

The EMA chief is a divorced guy...

I have nothing good to say about SAF generals as well.

 

[scroobal]

Truly I am disappointed with KJ. Despite the best education and impressive academic qualitification something as basic as management 101 or people skills are truly missing.

WP is going thru the same pain as the PAP albeit on a much smaller scale. Moment both these parties get someone that is readily appeal to the masses, they will drop the guy who has been doing grassroots work. Pretty much appreciated. With the guaranteed seats for the opposition, this would reach fever pitch. The number of ex-PAP members that have not been picked and are now in opposition parties is well known and their first stop would be WP.

NSP is fast becoming a disappointment. Though GMS has done good work, the actual custodians who are only surface during elections have done it again. Many people have suspected that they have been paid by the ruling party and it does sense. Moulmein the ex-Jalan Besar was going to be vulnerable with a cabinet minister stepping down and notice the speed with which Sebastian grabbed it. The same with Seow stepping and securing Tanjong Pagar and Marine Parade. Seow has taken money before courtesy of Malaysian Special Branch and this mercenary has never failed to impress me with his sudden appearence. The moment he surfaced I knew that they were going to annouce the old man' s retirement.
