Play by the rules? What rules?

I also find this statement ambiguous. Make it sound like \"I will follow the books\". Doesn't put him in good light. Maybe he should choose different words.

Or could it be that he’s trying to win votes from PAP supporters?

By the way, there is a poll going on for Presidential Election in this forum…

I think TT will win. Many who voted for WP may not vote for TJS. His style looks much too confrontational which makes Singaporeans feel uncomfortable. Many think that having voted more opp. members into parliament is good enough, so no need to vote more opposition voices. Then there is another group, really like what Insider said, who vote because of either the media, or because they are not familiar with the rest. And guess what? My parents belong to this group too, very much unlike the recent GE. So I think TT will win.

Just to correct, PAP did not endorse TT, only the unions and some clans.

limlim:

If PAP can endorse TT, why NS cannot endorse TJS?

As for speaking up, the PM and a few other have been speaking up for TT on MSM rite.. no?

Silently they will. As a political party, they cannot openly endorse TT coz that would not be right. That will only portray them as politically driven. But in reality, PM already mentioned TT is the best candidate. So what do you think? :evil:

To put it bluntly.....IMO eh.....it is like asking the thief to be my security guard. :rotflmao: Don't flame me.....that is my opinion. :siam:

Angelight,

NS endorse TJS on her personal basis.

The PAP may not have declared any endorsement, but PM Lee had endorsed TT, also on his personal basis.

Below excerpt from http://news.xin.msn.com/en/singapore/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5166133
[quote]While Mr Lee did not want to be drawn into commenting what he thinks of the aspirants, he did repeat his endorsement of Dr Tony Tan.

\"I think Dr Tony Tan is eminently qualified and a very good candidate. But I leave it to Singapore voters to make their judgement and I have every confidence they will make a good judgement,\" he said.[/quote]
