I agree. TJS has quite turned me off already during this PE. Although he did raised his profile a LOT and many recognize him now but for me (middle ground, swing voters, \"new-PAP\" supporter), it is unlikely for me to vote for him in the future.

I think 2 weeks is quite enough of campaign period. Even PM praised TCB for the way he campaigned and 2 weeks was enough for him to pull so many votes!

Help me to understand this.
What's the new PAP?

LBH d ex-Monfort school boy?
GY, LBH n TCB r all out of gahmen.
If there is change, is it coming from within or without?

Its probable.
These would be those who r disillusioned with their own party or do not agree with their party views/policies.
So how would they be agents of change for a new PAP?

I could be wrong.
But my reading is she meant new-PAP supporter n not new PAP supporter.

Hi schweppes,
No, I don't mean the new Spore citizens. This term \"new-PAP\" was used in a newspaper article writing about the recent PE2011 and referring to TCB campaign and its supporters.

Those who voted for TCB were mainly PAP supporters but instead of voting for TT, chose to vote for TCB instead. The so-called \"new-PAP\" as I understand it means someone like TCB who was long-time PAP member but vocal, not afraid to speak up, will vote against party policies if he deems fit and most importantly, having the HEART for Singaporeans. Having the soft-touch instead of just using the mind like the \"old-PAP\" (I don't want to elaborate on this).

Thanks, verykiasu2010, I think you got my drift. But this term was used to describe TCB in the newspaper article.

Not too sure about GY and LBH being \"new-PAP\" given that GY was already voted out by his constituency and I don't know enough of LBH to be able to agree with you.

Hi Way2Go,
This \"new-PAP\" was used to describe TCB and the type of President/Government that his supporters hope to see.

I am not sure whether we now have a \"new-PAP\". But it is something that people like us hope to see going forward.
