There's nowhere to complain to! It's another one of PAP's tactic. During the GE, I was inundated with letters every other day, culminating in one that was hand delivered to my doorstep the night before cooling-off day. It's part of their climate of fear campaign :evil: like oooooh, they KNOW exactly where you stay and who you are...

So please vote for CHANGE.

For me, this is NOT OKAY. I feel my privacy being invaded. :sick:

[bigsnoopy]

Erm... Of course they know... All our address registered with them... :nailbite:

[pinkish]

Hey, I also receive.

Complete with our full names is not acceptable. Well they just made my elimination process easier

I thought TCB is not endorsed by PAP?

Received that mail too. Candidates probably got everyone's address from election board

I think they want to make it more personal, that's why names are written on the envelope.

I thought such information are widely available. Eg. through phone books, etc...? We received many calls from housing agents and wondering where they got the contacts from. I suppose there are some widely published information eg. the phone books. Unless one choose not to have their details published?

I agree on the part that they are trying to make it personal.

wow mummyo
you worked for TJS before?
i heard he is also a very efficient guy

I've only volunteered for his GE and now PE campaigns, not under him in a professional capacity but he has always treated everyone with respect, warmth, sincerity and humility.

UncleLim:

i must say I am genuinely surprised at the low ranking of TT on this poll.

i believe most of the members here reads news from internet etc rather than depend only on our 154th media

spoke to some aunties i knew about this pE
they said they will vote for TT cause they only know him and the news speaks good about him

hard true :slapshead:

Yes UncleLim,

agree with Raysusan. Those who use the internet widely can study each candidate in full, and access to real incidents and actual data, rather than those fed only from normal media, which are 'a bit' bias.

As I said the impression of TT by all the lao uncles and aunties who read newsaper and watch TV are of one that has contributed immensedly to our nation, one that is dignified, one that speaks very well, one who is genuinely coming out to serve the people. Add to that list, all the people in comfort zone who dont bother or do not want to cause any ripple, or kiasu or kiasi - the onus is TT has the highest chance to win by default.

But those who catch up with the updated truths and information online, know about the Education Minister times, the TDB time with the union, the GIC 2008, the Patrick 12 yr deferment, etc etc, and also the current credibility in public speaking.. they have their doubts.

And we now have 4 candidates, we should owe it to ourselves to evaluate the pros and the cons, the moral thing to do, the right thing to do, the right or IDEAL candidate for the job. We just dont want another shoo-in situation like SR Nathan. I mean seriously, attending the annual Star Awards ???? and the program was in mandarin, I did not know SRN was multi-lingual, but in any case, is that even relevant to the presidency ? another indication, but as I said, by internet users on yahoo Poll only. See the number of participants, quite a lot, but cannot compare to the many ignorant and mis-informed.

Basically, we just want a fair competition ( so far I only see 1 poster around my area and a lot of it too ), and all to carefully evaluate the 4 candidates. Each vote is precious and important. To again quote http://theonlinecitizen.com/2011/08/neo-swee-lin-its-my-vote-and-its-precious/

\"I will not vote according to who I think stands a chance or not. I will not vote in a politically savvy way. I will vote with my heart, my mind, my soul. It is my vote, and it is precious.\"

ps: I am guilty of not following her totally though, I will vote with my heart for TJS, but if near the polls, the indications show TCB stand a MUCH BETTER chance and TJS little chance, I will then vote with my head.
I simply do not want another yes-man and we missed out the opportunity to vote in a real check and balance speak-out-when-necessary President.

all above are my personal views and opinions only. :idea:
