The end of Yaw Shin Leong? WP holding a press conference at 5pm

[sleaguepunter]

i not sure what the law say but can pap refuse a by erection on the basis that hougang is within aljunied grc so let the seat be empty and let hougang smc residents be serve by the aljunied grc mps?

red amoeba is right, pap also caught out by WP decision as PA adviser aka pap candidate-in-waiting is not really showing his face around in the last few weeks. RC activities rather low and RC members spend more time singing karaoke in the RC office than doing meaningful deeds.

Better not, it he does that will be the end of him in Singapore because many opposition parties have great respect for WP. Besides, his regular appearance in the news has irked many anti-PAP voters.

WP has set the bar high now......will MIW got the balls to do likewise?

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

Low Thia Kiang power la. At least he didn't behave like a hypocrite and close one eye. However, next time Low should do more background checks before letting someone be in the running to be an MP!

WP had thrown a gauntlet to the MIW.

All they have done is shown what a fucked up and disorganised party they are. The whole lot should quit politics and do some real work instead.
