Those who will still vote for like likes of siao and infamous opposition candidates like GMS and Lim Tean
Why not, think incumbent one more hardcore bah. If incumbent can parachute in unknown and most would just lap it all up. Why not the same for opposition leh.

Some more at this stage, incumbent intention for opposition is there to make noise only, a quality which they have. And what matter is the number, to achieve veto success, not really whose who. Only incumbent need to really see the person, for they are the decision makers.

So, cannot really use same yardstick to measure both sides one. The only reason many are using what they expect of incumbent on opposition, think more is cause of the successful conditioning from incumbent. When they keep harping on such, they are the incumbent silent supporter even if they don't say so.

He is still in UK if I am not wrong, shows he is not commited to Singapore and run elections and KPKB on Facebook to seek attention and not to care about Singaporeans
Think given the circumstances and sensitivity, probably would be harder to make a living local. Go to other more liberal places then can. Is no choice one. Some more incumbent also encourage people go overseas. But as the saying goes, 身在曹营心在汉. :s22:

They will not willingly to give up power one. The elite will use new citizen to pin against those local one. That is their grand plan. Pm will still be one of pap for generations unless external factors like geopolitics come into play. They will not stop at 10 million. More people come more easy to control local. Look at Israel and Palestine. Israel move their own citizens to occupy Palestine area. Chinese export more Chinese into Xinjiang and Tibet to dilute local population.
Think the FPTP system tend lead to two parties majority. And think there are signs already with one opposition growing strong. Think incumbent (or was it old man own self) also mentioned that there will come a time when the current incumbent no more.

What they can and probably is doing now, is ensure they are one of the two majority, if that time come. Its part and parcel of the system they chose for themselves. Think that's why they also saw it coming and said something.

Perhaps the only way they can keep on holding to power is if they turn full dictatorial like. Which likely will make even more kpkb fight back.

sweet election talks...but really interesting to see what he can do in parliament, rather than just another typical PAP MP sitting idling in one corner.

Dun worry.
You will see numerous times of files flying if the chairwoman is re-elected.
He will do something this time around if he want to extend his contract.
