limlim,


my 'end results' are meant for the actual...

I guess, you may need to be more specific..

Are you asking who is our choice or who we expect to win..? Big different leh.. :evil:

Strparent:

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:

As I said, this is a rare opportunity to vote having 4 choices. I only wish that as many as possible will do a proper analysis and think a bit more , rather than just the default choice.

No arrogance intended, just HOPE. may we get a just and committed President come 27 Aug. [/quote]

I know what you are saying, and its very fair.

We just need to be careful not to come across too strong. All the heckling, some of the extreme stuff being posted in various forums, its very off-putting. Many moderates will basically flee to safety (TT) if the oppo gives the appearance of uncouthness and rabble-rousing.

Here's to a fair, measured but strong alternative voice. It is indeed an opportunity of the generation, and I sincerely hope we make a sea-change from the past.

I read from papers that supporters of TJS booed-booed at TT during the latter’s nomination speech. I think that is very distasteful and totally uncalled for. Have a fair election fight, by all means. But don’t have to resort to insulting the other candidates. JMO.

perhaps the resentment was carried over from his days as No.2 in our garment.

whatever the reason is - anti-government or anti-TT - it’s just not right to boo-boo at someone who is giving a speech. I don’t see TCB, TT or TKL supporters boo-booing the other candidates. Reminds me of Malaysian fans’ unruly behavior during the recent World Cup against Spore.

I don't agree with her assessment. It will only be divisive and bruising if TT or TJS wins. This is because both of them are heavily endorsed by a political party.

If either TCB or TKL gets through, I think all will be well.

I think the president needs to be someone who takes a politically neutral stance, so that if we should have more opposition MPs in parliament in future, he can be a unifying figure. He shouldn't be someone who takes sides in the PAP vs opposition debate.

My friend’s family will be voting TCB. Reason being that many years ago, her uncle lapsed into coma at a public hospital. Hosp wanted to transfer him to nursing home but family asked MP (aka TCB) for help. Instead of just writing letter, he actually went down to the hosp and did a checkup on him. and subsequently hosp relented and allowed him to stay on.


Also, understand that his clinic didn’t charge needy patients - not sure how true that is.

Anyway, I’m pro-TCB becos I like his election msg. Unify all SG regardless of colour. And he’s someone who has indeed spoken out when he feels something is not right.

i was about to post about it too each of them has their own style~ and TT look very stress using mandarin but at least i can understand what he said

I got very tired listening to TT's speech in Mandarin. Worried if he can continue with his next sentence. His Mandarin really CMI. :rotflmao:

We thought it was \"entertaining\".

I watched the clips with the kids and they were laughing at the CL especially the pronunciation of some words which can mean something else. :rotflmao: They are like, is this guy going to be our president????
