[quote=\"concern2\"]Was wondering why no one mentioned this today...

Hm...very suspicious.. :evil: Or maybe he'll be running as candidate for the next election

Yam Ah Mee to resign in March: Shin Min
(source: http://www.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews/Singapore/Story/A1Story20130110-394644.html)

It was speculated that his resignation has something to do with Michael Palmer's case

Zhun bo?
it cld be any other possibilities:
1. His conscience is pricking him n he cannot sleep well, or
2. He is abandoning a sinking ship, or
3. He is joining mediacorp to showcase his hosting skills, or
4. He is going to Hollywood, or
etc.... [/quote]I also dunno leh... asked Ah Mee, he refused to tell me..

Parachuting a new face in wld show WP has no confidence in LLL - not gud for her image if they intend to field her again in same ward in following GE.

She did credibly last GE, but a 13+% advantage to PAP is a mountain to breach even without a 3CF.

So you think LLL will be fielded instead of Gerald Giam? Zhun boh? :evil:

So funny. What's the point of sending in an NCMP if all you get from winning the BE is a change in title from NCMP to MP? :siao:


Who are all these 'sources' in the WP that MSM refer to? :? Sounds like wishful thinking on the part of somebody that they will send in an NCMP...

Don't make tactical sense to field GG.
He will be better off cultivating his chiku trees in East Coast GRC ready for harvest in GE 2016.

Fielding LLL wld be a great counterpoint to Dr. KPK's candidacy, don't u think?
She is more of a ground person who has worked d PE ground n resonates well with d ground.
Looking at Dr. KPK's CV, he wears so many hats dat either he is superman or some of those appointments don't require much time or work. With 2 young children in tow, where wld he find d time to effectively take care of his residents if elected?
Wld he resign fr his regular job? LLL prolly wld at no great loss.
If KPK did, SG wld lose a 'top' surgeon in his prime.

@ Pirate


I think fielding an NCMp is at no extra ' cost' to WP .afterall they'll still retain the position if they lose.
Got change from NCMP to MP lah.. Pay rise :evil: and more say in shaping policies...

Exactly, d only impt change fr NCMP to MP is he gets to vote.
Still d same number of total seats for WP.
An extra vote is not going to make an iota of difference in current scenario.

So it’s smokescreen from ‘sources’ in MSM about LLL lor. Read something about her not keen to contest. Then they got me.

You contesting :yikes: ? For WP?

[Way2GO]

Wat cld be a more electable option is for VW of SDP to cross over n stand as a WP candidate.

Then d objective of getting VW to debate policies in parliament is still achieved.
But m prolly day dreaming - oppo unity is a farce.
