Fumbling Heng is dumb. There doesn't seem to be any strategic reason for him to go to East Coast GRC

And also have you all realised, actually this move could have been done for Aljunied, send heng swee keat to Aljunied and WP’s A team would have been wiped out. The minute HSK appears at nomination for Aljunied is already a super impactful hit to morale of the A team and the oppositions in general. This would have shown great conviction and belief and great confidence in our new pm in waiting to lead this country in the near to long future.

But nope, somehow pap feels scared this time and decided to show the world exactly this that they are scared, by sending HSK to east coast lol.

The east coast team in 2015 with leon dennis gerald then indeed is the real giant slayer but they didn’t succeed mainly because of the LKY bonus and overall sentimental and reflective good vibes due to the SG50 campaign.

This time round the WP team consisting of nicole seah isn’t even half as strong yet PAP scared themselves wet their pants and sent HSK there.

Nicole seah is still very young, if she is determined to walk the politics path, she has a lonnnggg runway ahead of her.

With the increase in NCMP seats this round, WP is simply gunning for the NCMP seat in East Coast, and let Nicole gain that political experience and mileage and be known as an ncmp, THEN five years later run again with a much increased chances of getting elected.


WP is looking at bringing about this change and political and nation development in the longgggg term....

After wat happen to George Yeo, they will tink twice before sending another big name in

WP all dreaming... Now it takes a miracle to beat HSK... they can shuffle any strong anchor minister n it would take out Nicole Seah alrdy... u get played into their GRC trap. WP should not sacrifice Nicole Seah this way. waste of asset.

if WP pit her solo... she has a chance to beat any new solo PAP, unless they sacrifice a strong anchor minister or 4G minister. By then it will be worth it even if she loses

Look it from another angle bro .. she ish nao pitting against Finance, DPM and Future-PM .. future leader of spore, not any ikan bilis anchor minister .. she, who entered the political arena just "not too long" ago, alr hv been seen a great threat by the incumbent ..

even if she were to lose this erection again, she will be hailed as the only oppo female sweetie pie fighter in spore history who hv been put against spore ex-PM and future-PM heavyweights..

that itself, ish a remarkable feat ..

Nicole Seah performed strongly against Goh Chok Tong in GE2011 for one big reason: It was a David against Goliath fight.

The public saw a young woman being pitted against a high profile political figure and sympathized for her. The media also gave much attention to the battle.

Had Nicole Seah faced a generic PAP dude or average PAP team in 2011, she wouldn't even be famous. The fight would not have been close.

Fumbling Heng, being an idiot, decided to go to East Coast personally to defend it against any WP threat.

If Nicole Seah and the average WP team there was facing an average PAP team at East Coast in GE2020, this battle wouldn't even be generating any media attention and PAP would probably win without much effort. Just like how PAP's Cheryl Chan won against Dennis Tan in Fengshan in 2015. Nobody cares about two newbie candidates facing off or two average teams battling it out.

But Fumbling Heng has gone there now and made it a David versus Goliath battle again - precisely the same situation that Nicole Seah excels at.

WP probably knew that Heng was going to East Coast and decided to set up the same GE2011 situation that Nicole excelled in.

Heng has nothing to gain from his "East Coast Plan". So what if he wins East Coast with 55% and Nicole gets into parliament as a NCMP?

It is NOT the job of the PM-in-waiting to play hero and contest vulnerable seats to prevent them from being lost. He should have seen the bigger picture - regardless of whether WP or PAP won East Coast, PAP would form the government and Heng would probably be PM.

Now he has unnecessarily placed himself in a risky position. East Coast is now an all or nothing contest for him. If he loses East Coast, he will never be prime minister. Chan Chun Sing or Tharman would be next in line to be PM.

Winning East Coast narrowly does not make him look good. If he thinks he is proving his bravery by going to East Coast GRC, he is mistaken. Nobody cares about how brave the PM is. It is not a pre-requisite for the next Prime Minister to win difficult territory. Lim Swee Say was not elevated to Prime Minister after defending East Coast GRC in GE2011. Similarly, Sitoh Yih Pin did not become Prime Minister after winning Potong Pasir and Victor Lye is definitely not in the running to be the next PM.

Heng has made Nicole Seah dangerous by making it a David versus Goliath battle again just like in GE2011. Instead of being the hero who went there to save East Coast, he might end up as the idiot who made it a competitive fight. :s13:
It doesn't look like he volunteered for it.

If anything I suspect it's the brilliant temasek strategist behind the plan.

Can easily tell, if he had known well in advance he would not have fumbled so badly.

It is beyond his control. Don’t laugh at him. The after effect of the stroke was cleared in his last speeches. There is mental block and he would not be able to think fast n have a clear mind. I had seen stroke patient before and the side effect is suffering. HSK should work at backend, have more time to rest and not put at the forefront to fight a war. It will be a very big challenge and stress for him to lead the team in East Coast.
