TJS is not the one that help TT, it was TKL and the singaporeans that voted TT,,,please dont blame the wrong people
This PE has thought me a great lesson on the similarity between sotongs in the sea and those on land.
1. Sotongs in the sea are attracted to light and are caught by man. Sotongs on land are attracted to limelight and are used by man.
2. Sotongs in the sea when cornered will release ink to buy time to escape. Unfortunately, man is still aware of their location and catch them. Sotongs on land will release nonsense like "25% will void their votes and it will not make a difference". Unfortunately, man can understand the difference between 25% and 0.5% and will still nail them.
3. Sotong when dried is called JuiHee and its initial is SJ. On land, its initial is reversed because its brain is dead from birth. Even if we manage to resuscitate the brain to life, it will still only have the capacity of a sotong, nowhere near that of man.
Comparing to TKL who was already a well known figure to many Singaporeans, TJS burst onto the scene only in Feb this year and he still managed to garner 25% of the votes as against 5% by TKL. To me, that is an achievement already lah! Not to mention TT and TCB both of whom have been politicians for 30 years.
Same sentiments here. TJS is implying that he is the winner of "spoilt" votes. Such inane remarks show he lacks the potential for high office. TJS is a jackass who does not realise that his words will alienate him from his own supporters.
Please do not any how talk cock. This is suppose to be a non-partisan PE remember?
ROTFLOL what about Sotong in the Mee Wok?
TJS 3-4mths political exposure & captured 25% votes. TT & TCB, both titans in the political horizon... managed 34-35% only. if TJS's performance wasnt a distinction, i dont know what is.
25% votes in national level is not bad results to consider for political newbies. This also help TJS to raise the profile of oppositions for GE 2016...not to forget TJS do not receive any endorsement unlike TT.
in the same light, there were alota blind votes for TT. surely u cant deny that there r more extreme pro PAP voters than pro Opp voters out there.Bro, with arguments like this, we would not have gone to the moon.
Did you ever consider that a lot of anti establishment votes were in that lot. It's called a sacrificial anode and it is one of the best political tool to corral and absorb dissent. A sacrificial anode by itself is a dud. It serves a greater purpose. Gone are the days when you use an organ grinder's monkey. Monkeys now need to be dressed in a suit and tie and with some level of starting credentials. The beauty is to pick one without he knowing it.

Agree on that. TT is considered a safe bet by the older generation who saw a lot of stability in the early years of PAP. He is also the anointed one by the old man. To them freedom of speech, equality etc are foreign words.
dont be an idiot la. if all 4 candidates were of similar caliber & had equal amount of exposure... the par would be 25% respectively. however, it is not the case, and so there is significant handicap for the newbie TJS, while TKL possibly has more handicap since he was once a PAP member. TCB & TT would be the star favorites, and so have less handicap in the PE.If Ooi Boon Ewe qualified and similarly lost deposit with 1% of the vote (which is likely the case) he should also earn a distinction for not getting zero votes because he's a clown through and through.
Just like the concept of welfare and fairness to the PAP is as repungant as anal sex on 6 year old boys, understand this analogy may be crude but it is sound never the less

TT & TCB being veterans, their par would be raised to 35% each, while the par for TJS & TKL would be reduced to 12.5% & 15% respectively. (35+35+12.5+15=97.5%...2.5% buffer for spoilt votes)
final score:
TCB 34% (1% below expectation)
TT 35% (par)
TJS 25% (12.5% above expectation)
TKL 5% (10% below expectation)
if Ooi who's a total stranger & qualified, his par would be 5%, and if he managed 1% vote... he's 4% below expectation.
Bro, go thru the past GE (albeit it is not PE) and you will notice that dubious characters and virtual unknowns have got this figure. There is always a residual base for protest votes in this country. See how Chua Kim Yeow polled despite not doing shit - 41.3%
Ya bro ... but this time is a 4 corners fight so I think 25% is reasonable results on national level.
TJS is .04% above par. He did not fail like any school examination with a 50% mark (par) but he failed to be at the top of the class.
