I personally can't believe we are still talking about choosing the EP based on the candidate's looks or his spouse's appearances. We cant be seriously that shallow right ? :xedfingers:

[/size][/i]

Relax strparent, that was just some light-hearted exchanges among forummers. None of us said we will be selecting EP based on their looks.

[quote=\"concern2\"]I took a peep from today's chinese papers and thought I like TJS's wife best - looks only har - but then again, a bit too young. Hmm..

I cannot stand how her eyes seem to be nearly popping out !!!

I just think she looks very earnest...overly so.[/quote]ya, too earnest to be true! always looking at hubby endearingly whenever he speaks.. nodding approvingly on whatever he says.. smilling meekly behind/beside hubby.. and even whispering into hubby's ear (discreetly) to prompt him on what to say next during hubby's speeches & interviews! actually, she is my 'least liked' EP's wife! :rahrah:

It will be good if there are a few FTs gunning for the post. Then they will have a taste of it. For sure I will vote for the FT.

Ex-ISA detainee issues challenge to Dr Tony Tan



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk-TH257ggI&feature=feedu

I listened at least 4 times to this fearless old man who seems to be prepared to give up even his life to seek for justice.

I recalled the 白色恐怖。

I mourned for the loss of the strong Chinese roots that we once had due to the whatever of the many true blue Chinese educated people...

I cried for the innocence...

含怨而死 is indeed a very sad thing. :sad:

I really detest hearing the word \"economic\" repeating all the time.

reported that TJS’s rally will include Nicole Seah from NSP as speaker


why is he getting political party to speak for him ? is he running it as political party contest ? like that will TT gets PAP member to speak for his rally ?

I thot the PE is non-political ?

Dimsum, yes I know and well noted. Just that reading on those ISA detainees giving their own version of what happened, make one really sombre and realise the grave impact on those who may be innocent. :gloomy:

I know TJS don't look as appealing as TCB or TT, but his wife's comments stating HE is genuinely doing it for the people is very assuring. I know coming from his wife could be bias, but women like them ( above ) usually speak sincerely and truthfully from their hearts. It's a 'feel'.

Something to add - I must said TCB really subscribe heavily to the mass mailer method of reaching to the voters. First, the personal mail to our homes, and today morning, I received a SMS to think Singapore first, and to vote for TCB.
Impressed with his ingeniuty to reach out to all due to time constraint, but smacks of campaigning via agencies and advertisers. Wonder if he will hold any rallies like some of the others ? A personal touch is always more sincere.

Some voters might have a different opinion of the mass mailer and sms.

Nicole Seah is endorsing TJS in her personal capacity => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ89WrEs9qE

Maybe you have not heard, some other candidates also have 'personal endorsements' from some political figures who are heavyweights. NS is not even an MP-elect nor fulltime politics.
