Punggol East By-Election coming ? MP steps down

[pirate]

Wouldn't it be historic if Punggol East becomes the first constituency where the PAP loses a multi-cornered fight?

Certainly will be historic. However, I doubt if this will happen. There is still a fairly high chance PAP will win, regardless of number of 'corners'.

Bear in mind that Png EH ( again, no offence :oops: ) was the best they could do in Hougang By-Elections.

Mr. Low tao tiah now..

So coincidental, all affected ones in constituents last contested by WP. How many 'best' can they field? Surely PAP have more 'best' than WP? As for giving other parties 'chance', I wonder if they will like WP to step a foot in if it happens to their constituencies...which could be any time after all these precedents Ok, got any more, quickly own up now, 要来就一次过，don't waste tax payers' money anymore hor!!

3 kingdoms are a good example for politic issue.
such as back stabbing, 2-headed snake, betrayal, power, women
The best don't trust people easily.

More like knowing who can be trusted - That's what sets good leaders apart from the rest - a good judge of people's / individual's character - which is a difficult thing to do - seen in our recent political scene.

How do you know if the leaders are a good judge?

How do you know what they're looking for? One who can be trusted to serve the people's best interest or one who can be trusted to be obedient?

Look at some examples of good white MPs in the past.. Those who speak up for the pple.. what happened to them?

Are they still serving the pple?

Once example of a quote by an MP for the pple.. \"Why cripple his leg and then give him a crutch?\"

Png EH is a WP grassroots man. Underestimate the grassroots people at your own peril. TCB was a PAP grassroots man.

Wow, suddenly so many parties interested to go for by-election. Can also understand - since Punggol East had never been under any opposition parties, unlike case of Hougang.


Now not just 5 but 6 interested parties! What a number! \"S_X\" Talk about coincidence!

So are ALL the political parties vying for Punggol East? Now I really feel like Journey to the West - with all the parties vying for a piece of us! :nailbite:

Please give some examples 'coz I have no clue what you are talking about.

There are many folk viewing the past with rose-tinted glasses, forgetting that our founding fathers were far more hard-nosed and tin-eared than the current generation of leaders. Who initiated the GRC system? Who used the ISA with greater frequency?
