what you guys think???

TCB is the first one to say he wants to run for presidency. I feel that he is one of \"tools\" used by ruling party. If TT lose, still have TCB to back up. Grassroots, RC, CC and what not are all PAP pro. It is very hard to shake off his links with PAP after 30 yrs of being MP. \"Toe the line doesn't mean weak\" but PM still his boss.

you would like this speech by Mrs Ivy Singh-Lim at TKL rally last night. Nothing much on endorsement on the candidate, but she is speaking as a FULL-BLOODED SINGAPOREAN, a common people kind of feeling.

** http://www.razor.tv/site/servlet/segment/main/news/68576.html ** <= please listen to her patriotic speech

Hi Caroline3sg,

Ivy Singh was really powerful in her speech, right ? :rahrah: :rahrah:

So sincere, so passionate, so patriotic, I wish SHE was running for President. You can feel the fire in her love for Singapore.

Was sending DD and her friend to school this morning. Along the way, they saw all the candidates' banners. Suddenly they started chanting Tony Tan, Tony Tan. Curious I asked them why Tony Tan.


DD : cos he looks like a nice fella mah
fren : yah soooo cute
DD : yah chubby cheeks!

And both dissolved into hysterical giggles.

While driving back, I took a closer look at the banners, with each passing banner of TJS, I keep thinking Chen Shui Bian. Dunno why.

I don’t like her looks. Not presentable to be president. Though she speaks well. Got S’pore slang.

For looks, I choose Vincent. He can carry himself very well, lots of sympathy and humourous too (ie he would hug Vivian if he see him). I read his letter to President SRN to seek for clemency for the vietnam guy who carried drugs. It was a lengthy letter and full of strong reasons, though still have to abide by the law to face death penalty for drugs) It was then that I knew President has no power to pardon, as also mentioned by Leong Sze Hian.

but I still disagree abt the 'c' term :scratchhead:

Ermmmm... I am now puzzled. You don't agree that the term is insulting? So... you meant it as a compliment to TPL (someone you consider incompetent) and Sharon Au (someone who holds different views from you)?

Strparent:

I have also expressed my opinions on others - men, young and old - eg lackey, yes-man, ah beng, jia liao bi, etc etc. Also terms like ah gong, gangster, etc has been used. Some may take slight offence as well, but they know they are terms in heated exchange, no malice intended. why the sudden defence now ? Everybody can have their own opinions of course.

If so, why equate the term \"chick\" with the terms highlighted above? Do you mean these to be compliments too? You would be pleased if someone called you a yes-man and a gangster?

Strparent:

again :offtopic: , paiseh.

Hi Chenonceau,

:salute: :salute: thank u for yr understanding. OK, I will try to refrain from any forms of name labellings......but it's very difficult when I am so one-sided on a particular topic :rotflmao: :rotflmao: All we want is a better Singapore for our children's future.

I also have a young daughter, and a few teenage nieces. I guess if someone called them the 'c' term, I may be slightly worked up.........but my nieces actually beamed with sheepish pride when the boys call her a hot 'c' !! :faint: :faint:

And you would get worked up over a compliment?

Now, I am really confused.

[Strparent]

Constitution said a President cannot be below 45 yrs old.


but no upper limit, maybe the person who wrote this was hoping the Fountain of Youth would be discovered in his lifetime.

And now you have gone back on your gentleman's word?

what you guys think???

On d 1987 Marxist conspiracy, he spoke based on d info given to him.
This affair was politically very sensitive, on a need-to-know basis, n only very few individuals hv d full picture.
Fr what he is saying now, u can deduce dat he didn’t hv all d info.
Ditto with TJS who was PPS to GCT at dat time.
The person who possibly knows more than TCB is TT, but he is hiding behind d veil of OSA.

On Jurong hospital renaming, he resigned when he didn’t agree with d rationale.
That shows his conviction. Was the timing material?
Any time would hv been before d PE announcement.
On both counts, I don’t agree with blogger’s final assessment that TCB is flippant.
But she is fully entitled to her opinions.

Tks Strparent for all the links to the speeches. I enjoyed her passionate speech. Can feel and see the 'fire' in her to want a more democratic society in our homeland-SINGAPORE! She's :imcool:

chenonceau,


errr, sorry, not going back on my word; that was just tongue-in-cheek, making a mickey, a joke, a punt, just kidding.


as for all the other terms or labels - no, not at all complimentary...nor insult.

all terms are simply descriptive imho. :oops:
