By Election for Hougang

hquek:

unless the voters feel they are going to kena lawsuits a lot?


okay correction. me wonder if DC really get voted in; how often Mr A is going to be around for free legal counsel - every week? He can say provide free, but if he aint around to provide (busy for eg). talk only, very easy.

He said he's gonna rope in a few of his lawyer friends to help.

MMM:

Also over the weekends... observed little is heard on PEH on the papers while lots is said about DC... For some reasons, they like to take pics of him engaged in some sports???

To portray DC as youthful vitality vs ‘old man’ PEH as“less energetic’'? :evil:

[Way2GO]

MMM:

Dh read that DC is engaging that famous high profile lawyer for Hougang residents' legal clinic??? Can that buy votes???

If Subhas really wants to help HG residents,
why hv to attach a pre-condition dat DC has to be voted in first?
How sincere is dat? Or just to pull in votes?

Subhas himself has a colourful (not white )history.
He was at one time questioned by old man about his WP association
n being a SS gang leader in Sembawang. He of course denied both allegations.
Dat time, he was rejected for SG citizenship n stateless;
d old man suggested (half in jest, I think) dat he shd earn credits for his subsequent citizenship application.
Now he is on d other side of d fence. :nunchuk: :nunchuk: :nunchuk:

No, I think he mentioned that HG residents will get Subhas whether he is voted in or not.

I stand corrected.
It's a one-off?
Great timing though.

LOL on the intend to murder part.

I recall seeing a report that both pp are doing it their way. DC high profile becos he's not had a long time in the constituency. PEH is below the radar becos he wants to focus on the people on the ground.

hmm, seems like duck paddling eh? from the top, seem like PEH not doing anything much. but from bottom, the feet furiously paddling away?

Anyway, I can't vote and can only kaypoh from the sidelines. no matter what DC say, i think if hougang falls, it'll be welcome to the grc. Maybe they can also add PP also. Scarly become EC GRC - or maybe TP GRC. ya think?

HMMMM..although I initially refrain from talking about this election, now I can't refrain from saying this GRC thing irks me. Really, it is not just about HG anymore. It is a NATIONAL ISSUE.

[MMM]

Yes… but they kept saying it’s a local issue. What local issue??? I am going to vote and I really don’t know what local issues they are talking about. Maybe it’s limited to certain group of population but can that appeal to the 24k+ voters??? I don’t know.


We are "speculating" that both parties rally turnout should be alot since the non-voters would be curious too and free entertainment over the weekends. But it really depends on who is more engaging… I still recall the Singapore pledge that was said at last day of WP’s rally at Serangoon stadium…

I believe HG will still be retained by WP. LTK should be preparing something for the rally along that line that he had made a mistake on YSL and asked for HG residents to give him a chance to set things right with Png. Those hardcore WP supporters will not waiver but there are bound to be some who might have swung because of the YSL fiasco. LTK needs to try to get them back onto his side and I believe he should still have the appeal.


Can’t vote but certainly will try to attend the WP rally.

Wonder what is the demographics of the voters. Read that those young voters + private estate will mostly vote for WP as they want an alternative voice. So far what DC is targetting for is really for the old, those lower income family as well as those who need help. Really wonder how many % is this group of people out of the 24k+. On the other hand, these people might already have been in touch with WP all these while??? So might have some loyalty.

Just wondering if HG is really a run down place as compared to other neighbourhood as what some are suggesting in the last election??? I am confused where this 24k voters come from after they draw the lines here and there. Wonder who is \"in scope\". But there are alot of those mansionates?/ bigger HDB flats in that area. It's only a couple of old HDB blocks that probably house those from the lower income level. I don't see any issue from a infrastructure, there are many bus choices and NE line.
