i did consider setting up a kopi stall, but afraid the rental would kill me

[/quote]Don't worry, as long as your kopi stall is beside teow chew muay stall, sure got business to cover the sky-high rental. Even better if nonya kueh is sold. Just don't go near noodles stall, some noodles like rubber band, chew and chew also cannot swallow. :nunchuk:

LKVM:

Maybe PAP didnt know WP having A team in Aljunied before nomination day

I think they also suspect they will go for Moulmein-Kallang.
Yacob - Flooding Issue
Lui Tuck Yew - not a very popular ACTING minister
Denise Phua - sue her own resident

So logically, Moulmein-Kallang have a higher chance, apart from the fact that they might not have work the ground as much as Aljunied.

Strparent:

He couldn't make headways when he was in the circle for 23 years, now that he is not even MP-elected, there is no chance he can help reform the incumbent from within, not for lack of efforts of course.

He saw the people's views and wishes, but in order to help the people achieve it, the only way now to do so would unfortunately be considered judas by many. And he saw what happened to OTC when an elected president tried to do his duties properly. So the best option, is to retire from politics.

best wishes to GY...

( and JN is definitely a bad influence :evil: :evil: )

he can always join WP or NSP .... :evil: :evil: :evil:

[/quote]Wonder minister's contract have \"anti-competition\" clause or not. Like preventing them to join another party within a time period if they leave current post. :?

... The way that this thread is moving is still very much like the other thread... I don't see any difference between this thread and that thread leh...

The first one was more strongly worded and vocal. During campaigning period, chenghu too busy to police.

But now post GE le, if we were to be as aggressive as before, I think KSP will kena mark as politically inclined, and Chief could possibly go drink kopi....and not from verykiasu2010 hor. :nailbite:

MMM:

I share this view. But I also read that historically eg. 2006 GE, her score is also one of the lowest within that GRC. So apparently, she is not that popular. Also for the car park space, they just created another 10 ? lots weeks before GE.

But think about the people's profile. Upgrading is none of their concern. Yes cost of living has gone up but for the upper middle income, this is like ant's bite? and not a blue black pinch/ punch?. So their concern is more on having a opposition voice.

Whether she is popular with her constituents, very hard for us to say. Demographics in a ward (eg HDB vs pte) definitely play a part. From reading of the pre-GE thread, I kind of notice that most of us either do not know our own MP, or even if we do, we have never seen them before, other than on national TV during parliament season. This is especially true for those of us who are unlikely to go to MPS to see MP for specific matters or are staying in pte housing. My point here is not about whether the MPs should go see their constituents staying in pte estates, but unless we have personally come across the MP and heard from others who have, we cannot judge a book by its cover and conclude if a MP is good or bad simply based on his conduct in parliament. There are some MPs who, while do not appear impressive during parliament, are still well-liked by the residents for their work/commitment to the constituency.

Think not - look at the candidate who got 'swan' by GCT.
How about being consultant for WP
