[h=1]The WP’s Political Poker Game: Ruthless, Evasive, but Brutally Effective[/h] Posted on Sep 6 2015 - 12:33am by Redwire Singapore

COWBOYJOHNNY: Hougang had a surplus, AHPETC will have a surplus, and Punggol-East was in deficit when the PAP handed it over.
In just 4 days of rallies, the Workers’ Party gave the gamblers’ equivalent of “show-hand”, and it looks to have beaten the PAP at this game of town council poker.
The PAP got the game going when it dropped the bomb about AHPETC’s alleged fund mismanagement.
It went on the attack, and wave after wave followed, with the Ministry of National Development leading the charge.
When the accusations first started, the WP said “give us time to check”.
When MND minister Khaw Boon Wan suggested hara kiri, the WP sat quiet, choosing neither to take up or fall on their swords.
Minister after minister took up the cause to destroy the WP’s credibility – Shanmugam, Desmond Lee, Teo Chee Hean, and even Heng Swee Keat and Tharman.
Even when ministers like Mr Shanmugam made mistakes with their data, WP leaders chose dignified silence over extensive criticism.
Then, the WP was brought to court to force upon it independent accountants of its choice, and it responded with what can be seen as “have faith, all will be revealed in due course.”
The PAP appeared to have scored a victory against their most dreaded enemy in recent years.
Then, the public began to tire of the whole AHPETC saga, all was revealed.
AHPETC – the town council will have a surplus of S$1.7 million once the government releases the S$7 million worth of grants to the town council.
Punggol-East – when the PAP handed over the town council, it had a S$280,000 deficit before grants, not unlike the situation facing AHPETC.
Hougang – Had a surplus before it became a part of AHPETC, contrary to what was said by DPM Teo and our Law Minister when they suggested that the WP couldn’t run a town council well.
Added to this, the AGO’s revelation just before elections that the People’s Association had incurred S$3.6 million worth of lapses.
And, more lapses were found with government agencies, the one that possibly caused the most resentment being the Gardens by the Bay contracts, where some S$20 million of contracts were awarded without tender.
While the public grew to regard the government as a bully as the AHPETC war drew on, it’s now seen as a bully with no basis.
Perhaps that was the WP’s plan all along in this war of attrition, to lie in wait and land one brutally effective sucker – that last hidden poker card.
Ruthless and evasive, but with 6 days more to the polls, the WP might just have gotten the game wrapped up.

WP Rally at Punggol Field Walk
This evening I attended the WP( Worker’s Party) rally at Punggol. The crowd was pleasantly surprised to see me. I was overwhelmed by their warmth .Many came forward to greet me and had their photos taken. I was also touched by the kind words of many who told me they voted for me in PE2011.They wished me good health and encouraged me to stand again.
Although the rally was in an open field and the lighting was a bit dim at the rear, the full capacity crowd was very enthusiastic and the atmosphere was electric. The speakers were good and connected very well with the crowd.
Tomorrow l will attend a SPP rally, my fourth in the series

"It is not right to mislead the public with unsubstantiated data": Lee Lillian, refuting her opponent, the PAP's Charles Chong, who said that the Punggol East Town Council had a deficit.
Ms Lee instead said it was the former PAP town council which had a deficit of $200,000 when she took over it in 2013.
East Coast and Fengshan residents, rally behind us at Simei Road tomorrow! #GE2015 #EmpowerYourFuture
