By Election for Hougang

Vote PAP:
Surely the lady doth protest too much! [Shakespearian quote. not saying that you're necessarily a lady]
Not to defend PAP, but how do u define 'ain't great'? What's ur parameter, benchmark, or criteria? U'll hv to back up ur claim, for, otherwise u may be construed as making a baseless claim against the legitimacy of our elected. Care to elaborate ur assumption?
Is this a scare tactic? How does my earlier sentence make a \"baseless claim against the legitimacy of our elected\"? Did I say they rig elections? Do word your sentences carefully. Only a sentence like \"the elections are rigged\" questions the legitimacy of our elected.
But sure, I don't mind clarifying. What I meant by saying that PAP's screening \"ain't great\" was an allusion to the Steve Tan case, which everyone is aware of without it having to be spelled out. But since you specially requested, I shall accede. How they fielded him (surely he must have been screened?), how there was a sudden withdrawal, precipitating a last minute scramble and reshuffle?
Anyway, I shall desist from further comments. Such engagement in other threads has not proven to be edifying. -

Surely not edifying when \"election-rigging\" was brought up to suggest that I was suggesting that, when nowhere do u find me suggesting that. My \"baseless claim\" alludes to the words used to describe PAP's screening process(s). Let's not smokescreen this & make this into something it is not... Pls discuss according to context. Makes for more mature conversation... -

Well... it becomes apparent that those folks who need help will find the MP's presence important. It was kind of educational for me. As I thought MPs are people we see once in 5 years???? But to be fair, I saw YSL once after election as they drop by house to house. Also, for CSM, saw him more than thrice in the neighbourhood and of course without grassroot leaders surrounding him. He was alone and talking to the residents. :celebrate:MMM:
Personally, does it make a diff whether we are MP free now? We are still being looked after by Aljunied GRC.It's like a extended family. in any case, we also don't depend on MP to do anything for us.
Yah, I thought so too.
Actually what is the implication of having or not having by election?
Hah, I don't quite get it :scratchhead: -
