guqin,
:? :? ??? last GE was in May ? and the one before was 5 yrs ago ?
and last ( and only other ) PE was in the early 90s.... 2 decades ??

Chenonceau:

I would still prefer TCB to TJS for the track record in public service... I know too little of TJS to be comfy.

and this is the fact for abt 20% of Singaporeans. They prefer to stay in their comfort zone. :siam:
but that is just my personal observation and I do understand this point :xedfingers: peace

Strparent,
I don't think the majority of those staying away from TJS are doing so on account on being within their comfort zone. He has shown himself to be somewhat of a divisive figure, and I fear his need to appease his supporters' agenda than the man himself, whom I'm sure is an honourable person, like all the other candidates.

Peace and good luck! I can live with any of these 4 being elected, though TJS poses for me, the most risk.

Hi 3Boys,


your comments noted and understood. :salute:

sorry I was not clear also - what I meant when I said ppl staying in comfort zone, was NOT directed at ppl against TJS ( I can understand the concern as he does seem like a loose cannon sometimes ). It is more to those that oppose to any form of change for comfort and stability, which does not help the poor and needy.
I apologise if it seems otherwise and implied something personal to Chenonceau's comments.

In my view actually, TCB is a better person than TJS, but as a President I feel TCB is not as strong-willed and may buckle under intense majority pressure. And we need someone who the ruling party will not think is a pushover.

Speaking of majority and comfort zone => :offtopic: we can see during the recent GE2011 rallies, the sheer crowds that go to WP rallies compared to the PAP rallies, and the result ? 6 seats to 81 seats.
THAT is what I meant about the comfort zone voters - many do not go to rallies to listen, they are comfortable where they stand, why change ? But that is another story.

I agree. I am totally not comfortable with him. His rally is like a mini opposition rally!
