There is an extremely easy thing LTK et al can do to immediately dispel all 'insinuations'. Make a statement that The WP disavows all forms of political intimidation, that he calls all true blue participants of the democratic process to desist from intimidating all political parties.


I have yet to see WP even take a mini step towards alienating the fringe opposition supporters by taking a moral high ground, and I am not holding my breath to see it happen now. That is truly my main issue with the WP.

There is no evidence whatsoever that it was a WP supporter. It is unreasonable to expect LTK to assume that they were made by WP supporters and take ownership of the anonymous threats. For all I know, the threats could have been made by a rabid PAP supporter out to sow disharmony. Who is to know?

Can I then say that I expect the PM to make a statement that the PAP disavows all forms of political intimidation, that he calls all true blue participants of the democratic process to desist from intimidating all political parties? How ridiculous is that?

The fringe opposition supporters already know that the WP is not the party for them. Hence, the complaints that the WP is too quiet.

Well, the opposition claims to stand for openness and participatory democracy, does it not? PAP has always said 'me and me only'.

Chance missed for the WP to score some points.....

If they can't even be better than PAP on this count, then what's the point of having them in parliament?

Likewise when opposition parties (other then WP) are driven from the fray by fears, whether real or perceived.

Fair comment.
If wan preaches democracy n equal voice for all, wan wld not condone any such practice dat runs contrary to dat democratic belief.

The sad thing is when KJ brings up this issue, instead of folk feeling concerned about the democratic process being undermined, he gets more brickbats and derision, up to accusations of having concocted the whole thing up.

Who is undermining d democratic process?
d WP? WP supporters? Or other unseen hands?
When d MSM starts ramming up dis aspect instead of more substance in his campaign, does it perk ur interest dat there cld be more to it than KJ's n his family's safety at stake here?
Wld agree without hesitation dat KJ's family safety is top priority - thus dis is a matter for d police to handle.
It is d way d matter is being rammed up, unfold n still unfolding in full public view dat makes ppl skeptical n begin to suspect its real motive.

That's perverted logic. So the MSM is to blame for the threats being made to KJ?

That is truly my main issue with the WP.[/quote]Why is there a need for the WP or any party for that matter to make statements to disavow political intimidation? Why only WP should take the moral high ground and no other parties by taking steps towards alienating the fringe opposition supporters? Don't you feel you're insinuating something about the WP here?

IMO any party getting involve is this \"intimidation thing\" are indulging in snake pit politics and it'll serve all parties well to keep clear of it and let the police deal with it. But it seems many parties want to make this the theme of this by-election. How pathetic can it get?

I didn't say nor imply dat.
Please take a step back fr ur entrenched position advocating dat d WP leadership has not taken d moral high ground to address d security issue promptly - go read up on wat n how d threat issue has unfolded so far in d press, wat wld be ur honest unblinkered opinion then?

Someone in dis forum has oredi replied dat LTK said something about every citizen has d right to contest in a democratic process, something to dat effect.

My honest unblinkered opinion is that the democratic process is undermined when supporters (or their surrogates) urge other parties to pull out, so that one may win. Even WP did not do that.

Anyhow, kinda enjoying the role reversal.....

No, lah. It's not a chance to score some points. It's a chance to commit hari kiri. LTK is too seasoned and wiley to step into that hole.
