By Election for Hougang

[dorisp]

Rather disappointed with PEH's explanation. :sad:

[MMM]

No news on PAP rally huh.


I feel that the rain last night might have helped to garner support for WP. With their MPs braving heavy downpour but still giving their speech on the stage and lasting till the end. Sometimes it’s all these little actions that matters. Hope none of them fall sick as Pritam’s voice seems alittle breaking away when he delivered his speech.

I thought everyone would run away but surprisingly, we still see alot of people on the field. I woke up to find overwhelming support for them on FB.

Actually the issue of this ncmp was started by peh himself when someone ask him with the minutes which has been prove to be GENIUE he twist his words to say he gave the wrong meaning to what he wanted to be conveyed abit disappointing.


Too bad WP saw a need for a chinese mp to be field if not Prit will have made a better candinate

I believe PAP rally will be tomorrow night. Then Friday will be the one day cooling period before 26th May.

But WP last rally also tomorrow night.... Possible for both parties to hold their rally on the same day. Though there are 2 different sites???? If so, I really wonder what is the turnout like.

I just feel that all these election and rallies are about playing a emo game on the voters. Playing with our hearts and minds towards the party that we’ve preference for.

I believe that's the same reason why some people keep going back to attend the rally.

My guess is the turnout for the WP will still be better that the PAP. Better in terms of genuine supporters who come individually or in groups and not by the bus loads (pre-arranged with free meals offers)

With the advance of technology, we can always watch the rallies online. So if I were to choose, I will go WP rally to experience the 气氛 (which I think only by being there then can really 体验 ) and watch PAP speeches online.

WP site has more variety of food stall some more !

Chenonceau:

[quote]Helping residents temporarily with their finances by directing them to piecemeal aid and charities is not going to remove the root cause of their problems. The more Desmond Choo goes along this approach, the more people will need help because the PAP will keep its policies intact without major change.

...

Lets not forget how the few tweaks to PAP policies came about. If not for the loss of Aljunied and the significant swing in the votes, you think the PAP will even twitch their policies let alone tweak their policies? The only way to bring about change has been demonstrated - it is through the ballot box. There is no other language the PAP understands. We can discuss and discuss. Feedback through the forum thousands of letters. We can tell the MPs in their face during meet the people sessions....but all this is useless because the PAP does not even move an inch unless you're prepared to reject their upgrading carrots and vote against them. This is the only signal they understand and nothing else. Unless people vote against them, they will just assume you're complaining and not serious about the changes you want. The PAP does not listen until you vote their MPs out of parliament. You have to show them you're serious.

This is super cool, Chenonceau! Thanks for sharing! Simple words, yet expressed with such punch![/quote]Indeed..
