Song should have stood for an MP during last GE....

The residents there ought to keep the WP in power... the PAP will throw in plenty of perks and freebies to bribe them.

That will definitely not happen in a PAP ward, especially in a PAP stronghold like my area. Wait long long.

More the reverse is true. Oppo constituencies get their facilities and services taken away. Look at potong pasir, I heard the post office was taken away, n the MRT was nearly not built. N last in upgrading

That's because dimwits keep voting for the PAP, resulting in a de facto one party totalitarian shithole, a regime which assumes it has the divine right to rule and thus can get away with such things.

For sure the "CSM effect" forever changed the face of opposition politics. It finally meant an end of an era for the likes of Parrot Man, Slipper Man and Yap keng ho. I remember reading even He Tingru said she joined WP after 2011 to assist CSM.

He gave credibility back to opposition candidates.

It's just a pity he couldn't leave a bigger legacy than he should have.

CSM has no achievements at all. He is there for show. He talk crap in parleement. N could not hold on to his ward in 2015. Good he step down.

Yup even a dog under the pap banner can win. Look at Jo's teo. Disgracefool. Tin pot ling. Charles Chong. Fuck up soo much n still can win. Wat more can I say?

Agree with your sentiments. But it's good to know that he was actually helping out in the
backroom, doing all the heavy lifting in the backroom.

The major difference between WP recruitment quality and PAP is that people like He Tingru
has been involved for nearly nine years. The same cannot be said of the new PAP MPs. Most
probably, they became members only after being approached to stand as candidates. THAT
is how sincere when they proclaimed that they want to "serve".

Your bapak wrong race and/or wrong SES.

Look at Mugabe, Gleneagles Hospital's most loyal customer. Can fly/walk in anytime, no need to queue.

The way WP won SK GRC was different from how AJ GRC was won. The latter was more on painstakingly walking the ground for years while the former was due to the mistakes committed by pap. Since SK GRC was a new grc, WP don't have the luxury of time to walk the ground.

It was helmed by a relatively lightweight minister whom voters don't know much. The rest of the team consists of middle age men whom young voters can't connect with.

Other than LPM the rest of the team was transferred from elsewhere. The incumbency effect was reduced to bare minimum.
Unsurprisingly, heard only LPM won his district by a small margin.

He Tingru and Jamus are eloquent speakers but are they good debaters? Jamus showed promise during the live debate with Vivian but the real test will be in Parliament.

WP almost lost Aljunied in 2015 because Chen show mao was quite disappointing in his first term despite his credentials. I hope WP learnt from this.

AJ GRC GE15 was more of a national swing that worked against all oppositions. Looking at the numbers, Wp AJ team lost less than 4% Vs 10% swing overall. If not for the fact that WP are able to connect to the ground, AJ GRC would have been retaken by Pap.

Parliamentary performance and TC issue had limited impact.

Agree with you. He should have gone further but I guess politics is not his forte after all. More a technocrat.

Then explain how CSM lost his ward in 2015 GE

Politics is 90% wayang. If he was more visible he would have had more support. Can't be a submarine if you're an mp elected by the people

As a trained lawyer, he should have at least emulated Walter Woon who as an NCMP was pivotal in introducing a new Bill - maintenance of parents’ bill?

CSM is either an enigma or a mediocre politician.

One thing his and CCS cases prove is that acing exams does not necessarily lead to being a very capable politician.

Sylvia also lost. Did she under perform in parliament? Both csm and SL lost marginally, I wouldn't over interpret individual MP performance for as long as the difference wasn't wide.

This CB Walter Woon everyday kena curse by youngsters and elderly for introducing this Fucking Bill.

It's always a revelation when you do it for the first time.

It's just like back in the day Aljunied GRC was won, and George Yeo was shell-shocked.

like breaking someone's hymen
