You guys can wish all you want
When the Voucher Wong man turns up with vouchers all the Sinkies forget their problems and vote for the Pappies.

Hope I will be wrong but I donch think so.

Of all the opposition candidates, CSJ is the most feared by PAP.
Even Pritam doesn't come close.
They see his tenacity to never give up the fight for the people and PAP is scared being asked and exposed in parliament.

I believe that the Singapore Parliament will be lively and do better for Singaporeans, if CSJ and Dr. Paul T are elected as MP.
CSJ will ask numerous relevant probing questions.

I agree. The SDP of today is not a "PAP-approved" opposition, which makes them more credible. CSJ and PT will truly and fervently be a check and balance on the pap. Not just giving a slap but giving a hard punch in the face.

CSJ, LMW, JL .... the hope for a better SG future.

Unforturnately ... to the detriment of SG, you are right.
We can hope for a miracle ... like the miracle that blessed Malaysia in May of 2018.

May Allah reward you abundantly.

He will wash your feet in heaven.

 

[batman1]

been saying it for years...CSJ is the real opposition, those pap motherfuckers will never allow him in parliament
anyone who thinks that voting is not rigged should get their coconut checked

In spite of all the shit thrown at him,he is still standing tall with a happy family of a wife n 3 children. At the end of the day,he is still a fellow singaporean,a son of singaporean.

It is well written, and the points made are sure to resonate with many.

The Mandate Myth, the Missing Dream, and the Moment of Reckoning

Comrade Lawrence,

This upcoming general election is not a ceremonial exercise in leadership renewal. It is a crucible. A full-spectrum stress test—not just of the 4G team, but of the Party’s ability to remain existentially relevant in a society that is more anxious, more aware, and far less forgiving.

The Mandate Myth:

Comrade Lawrence, you inherit not only the instruments of power, but the psychological weight of a generation’s disillusionment. Expectations unmet don’t just disappoint—they curdle into cynicism. This is not the electorate of 2011. They are not passive. They are not grateful. They are demanding—and rightfully so. We cannot govern on the fumes of past legitimacy. Policy papers and management talk will not cut it. What is required now is fire. Vision. Presence. The kind that does not need to be explained with infographics.

Cost of Living: The Great Equalizer and Divider

The people are not obsessed with policy nuance. They are watching their grocery bills grow, their children’s dreams shrink, and their paychecks flatten under invisible taxes. Inflation is now the most persuasive voice on the ground. It cuts through our comms lines. It doesn’t care about fiscal prudence or budget surpluses. It speaks in the harsh arithmetic of survival. If we think this will blow over, we are already behind.

Housing: Where Aspirations Go to Die

We have turned our greatest achievement into our greatest liability. Public housing no longer feels public. The BTO pipeline has become a bureaucratic Bermuda Triangle. Resale prices are devouring social mobility. The sense that the next generation is being priced out of the Singapore dream is growing—and dangerously close to becoming permanent belief. Once that breaks, nothing else holds.

Immigration: Sovereignty in the Workforce

This issue is metastasizing beneath our radar. People aren’t just grumbling about jobs—they’re questioning the national compact. When you ask someone to “adapt,” but they see the system adapting for everyone else but them, you create an undercurrent of quiet fury. This is not a policy problem. It is an identity crisis. And if we don’t address it head-on, it will be weaponized by others with less to lose and more to gain.

4G: Technocrats Without Mythos

This is the sharpest indictment: we are competent, but faceless. The 4G team is perceived not as leaders, but as highly-trained administrators. You yourself, Comrade, are respected. But respect without magnetism is not enough. Our new slate, drawn again largely from the civil service, reinforces the narrative that we are producing functionaries, not firebrands. “Sama-sama”—one like the other—is what the ground is beginning to whisper. If every candidate feels like a recycled version of the last, we will lose the imagination of the electorate—even if we still win the vote.

Meanwhile, some factions within the opposition are fielding credible candidates—fresh, confident, untethered to old systems, and resonating with voters hungry for difference. These candidates may not have history, but that’s precisely the point—they have no baggage. And that, in this political climate, is a superpower. We cannot keep playing the “experience” card when it’s clear that many voters are no longer looking for safe hands—they are looking for something new.

As for Pritam Singh—let it go.

The case is over. The verdict has settled in the court of public opinion. Calling him a liar, again and again, does nothing for us. In fact, it hurts us. It makes us look obsessed, vindictive, petty. Every time we dredge it up, we remind the electorate not of his failure, but of our fixation. The people have moved on. So should we.

Instead of shadow-boxing with yesterday’s enemy, we should be painting tomorrow’s vision.

And yes, we must not be naive. The world is entering a period of volatility and fragmentation. The drums of conflict are getting louder. The U.S.–China rivalry is no longer a “what if”—it’s a structural fault line. The global economy is unstable. In such times, Singapore does need steady hands. But let us not confuse steadiness with stasis. We must show that we are not just the stewards of order—but the architects of destiny.

But what is that destiny? What is our version of “mudflats to metropolis”?

When Comrade Lee said those words, most people had never seen a metropolis. But they all knew what mudflats were. That’s why it landed. That’s why it lived. What, then, is the 4G metaphor that will ignite the same visceral belief? What are we promising this generation—besides economic resilience and digital transformation? If we cannot answer that with clarity and force, we are not offering leadership. We are offering maintenance.

Political Diversity: The Electorate’s Safety Valve

The electorate is not angry. They are alert. They want counterweights, not chaos. They want options—not to topple us, but to test us. The desire for opposition is not rebellion—it is insurance. And we must treat it with respect. If we continue to frame political diversity as destabilizing, we will sound not protective—but paranoid.

External Shocks, Internal Faultlines

Singapore is now exposed. The global system that once shielded us is unravelling. Neutrality is no longer a luxury—it must become a doctrine. The electorate senses this. They don’t want platitudes. They want foresight. We must speak like we see what’s coming, or they will assume we don’t.

Strategic Risks We Cannot Ignore
1. Fragmentation of Support: Even a win can be hollow if it’s brittle underneath.
2. Silent Defection of the Young: Not protest, but abandonment—mental, emotional, even physical.
3. Narrative Vacuum: If we don’t fill it, the opposition will—with fiction or fervor.
4. Technocratic Stagnation: A leadership that solves problems but fails to stir the soul.

Comrade Lawrence, we are standing at the edge of the map. The old roads won’t guide us forward. We need new stars to sail by. We need a myth, a metaphor, a mission.

You have the intellect. You have the stature. But you now need the fire.

This election cannot be about just managing Singapore. It must be about meaning. The country still wants us—but it wants more than competence. We cannot be doing more of the same. It wants conviction. It wants to believe again.

If we win without that, we would have won nothing at all.

Comrade David Leong

Well written piece. This is the man and the article

Hypocrisy is just another way to Paradise?

He doesn't lie, cheat, steal or kill. He strategies and purposely allow people to hate PAP.
No hypocrisy. All above board.
If his intentions are right, he should make supplications to Allah so that he loses Tampines. After all, his pensions will last for 3 generations.
