WP should sack Raeesah Khan for making racist remark

[ultrasad]

Jamus performance in the CH5 debate was impressive but the credentials of rest of the candidates (except 1) are equally stellar
Give credits to the 2 of them.

The question is what WP is going to do for the next 5 years?
With 10 MP seats in Parliament, their numbers are still unable to stop policies from being shovel down our throats, debating and fighting in Parliament continues to be futile.

Is it going to be status quo for the next 5 years? Until Singaporeans vote enough opposition in Parliament? What could WP do outside Parliament to effect a real change in our society?

Change in parliament not possible with only 10 votes during policy making.

What they will do is to make their voices heard by the public when there is any policy making be it for or against the PAP.

Yes, they have super majority, but the popular vote slips significantly, politics is a very long road. If change don't happen the people will be called to give a report card again in 5years time. Younger voters are not stupid and are not patient, let's see how this progress.

Who is the except 1?

 

[Hiling care]

And manap now becomes one of the best Malay alternative reps in the government. Look beyond her history and watch closely how she will perform for next 5 years. If she did badly, seng kang grc will be reclaimed easily

I would prefer Pritam to remove her by next GE internally instead of losing the entire GRC over the course of years.

I dun think she adds any value to politics or the team.

 

[hanz170]

Would we have known about the Population White Paper if there were no Opposition? regardless the number, someone from the inside must spill the beans so the people can understand what is actually at stake and the alternative viewpoints.

We have a david and goliath situation here. Imagine Jamus as the sling in Pritam's hand. Ask the tough questions like questioning if PAP has assessed if their measures were effective. Dr Vivian was at a lost to answer this at the debate. Broadcasted to the public, we must all rally, and use social media to support. This election shows that social media is more powerful than we thought. Maybe due to WFH people are more tuned in to the internet.

 

[Sminsky]

To be credible, WP needs to let her go. Let be honest, she is flawed to be a MP if you have carefully read her posts, it is mischievous and inexcusable. I rather Sengkang has less 1 MP then to stick with her. She is toxic to the party.

We will know in due time, she can work the ground hard and residents may love her like TPL, was well disliked previously now could hold an SMC by her own.

 

[Kohliemliem]

Wp should move her to smc next election. If she win, okay. Means the electorate are willing to have someone with her extreme views in parliament representing them. If not, then too bad.

Don’t kid yrself. She will be charged and disqualified as a MP.

 

[Hiling care]

Don’t kid yrself. She will be charged and disqualified as a MP.

I would very much prefer that.

I think she is ruining the reputation of WP with such radical left kind of views.

They have to make their seats count.

It's very very hard to retain SK GRC
The SK folks here are generally younger and has a higher education than the rest of Singapore. They could be harder to please too and swing over very easily

And municipal issues are very important.
The PAP Town Council in SK did a very good job. . very responsive and on the ball. WP TC had to work very hard to match their standards and SK folks' expectations, else they will lose the GRC like how LLL lost Punggol East SMC.

 

[MatrixFanatic]

If you are a minority, I will accept that from you, if you are not, your statement does not cannot carry the same weightage.

I don't need to be handsome to say that someone is handsome, do I? Also, with that statement, it is kind of racist, is it not?

 

[derrickgoh]

I would very much prefer that.

I think she is ruining the reputation of WP with such radical left kind of views.

If she expects Pritam to agree with her just cos he is also minority race then she clearly has not a clue.

She have an extremely steep learning curve to transition from being an activist to being a politician.

People want her to voice good ideas to concerns on the ground and not throwing out motherhood statements or any anti government rhetorics like what she is doing previously.

Pitram have to condition and guide her closely else she will be a huge liability and bring down WP'S name.

Let's see what's what.

I am wondering why some clowns here keep saying PRPG town council does a poor job. Do they live in SK? If not how do they know? And if they live in SK, why don't they specify what kinda of poor job PRPG TC did?

Who is the except 1?

Why u ask the obvious

Yes, they have super majority, but the popular vote slips significantly, politics is a very long road. If change don't happen the people will be called to give a report card again in 5years time. Younger voters are not stupid and are not patient, let's see how this progress.

Yes, popular votes slips significantly, and ppl who voted WP solely because of Nicole Seah is really

Every GE is critical, and we don't have that many 5 years.

We have a david and goliath situation here. Imagine Jamus as the sling in Pritam's hand. Ask the tough questions like questioning if PAP has assessed if their measures were effective.

This election shows that social media is more powerful than we thought. Maybe due to WFH people are more tuned in to the internet.

Yes, but social media could only reach out to the younger generation. If we look at the result in Tanjong Pagar GRC, u can tell alot of folks there don't use internet.

Next GE, the different parties would to spend more $$$ and efforts on social media

 

[ussr_1991]

Walau, Khan win as a team. Do we expect SK GRC can be won by WP with 60% of votes?


Apparently it is clear that Khan past post is past and it is a non-issue

Take from what Masagos said, GE is an opportunity for candidates to redeem themselves

I think she is not worth the risk.

Its like having a growing tumor that may or may not be cancerous.

Removing it is also dangerous to the body.

PSP performed better than expectations in Tanjong Pagar GRC due to its significance.

And quite a number of areas there are MG PG area. Is there a chance that Dawson area will lose had it become a SMC?
