Noticed that all recent parachutists are from the civil service. Seems to be a change from the usual saf. Probably due to the fact that top man is no longer from armed forces and from the civil service instead

take from which camp also will have narratives amended to suit it

In my opinion, PSP is over valued. They kinda just parachute into the political scene, and just like that 2 NCMPs. Until now, mainly due to 2020 GE’s covid restrictions, they have not yet conducted a single election rally, and they already win big already. Something’s not right la. Or does this show that election rally actually no use one? PSP’s successful showing may or may not happen again in GE 2025.
There was the Dr Tan effect in 2020....

However, I think he knows that the younger generation need to be given the chance to experience Parliament. That's why he pushed Hazel Poa and Leong Mun Wai to the battlefront in Parliament. To their credit, they did pushed the PAP very hard.

As for the PSP's campaigning, all I can say in public is that with the new CEC, there will be new ways to market and campaign. The marketing from last GE run was all done by very young members and volunteers whom Dr Tan accepted it quite well.

Nothing wrong.
PSP in GE 2020 good showing was due to TCB effect (+ lee hsien Yang )
TCB is well respected so people gave his party face. Pity Hsien Yang had no interest in politics. Had he joined the west coast team PSP might have won the GRC.

The TCB effect would be gone this election. Of course dr Tan knows that, and he sent HP and LMW in to get exposure. His teams also worked rhe ground. This election do or die for PSP and they must win real seats, minimum 1 SMC to survive post TCB, or they would end up as another SPP.
All I can say is that your POV especially in the second paragraph resonated very hard with the top leadership of the party.

if I am not wrong, PSP led in the number of questions asked in parliament...I stand to be corrected!
