Chinese male between 25yo to 55yo.

Percentage of anti pap are much higher among this group..

Shouldered most responsibilities I.e NS, reservist, ippt, support parent, support young kid, compete job with FT who left college 2-3 years earlier. Getting the least privilege.

Joo Chiat almost won by WP before. So Yee JJ can become NCMP.
Looks like they wanna surrender East Coast to WP by moving Joo Chiat to East Coast.
Macpherson move into Marine Parade is to safeguard Marine Parade...

HSK may have lost his star power alr, now not much portfolio waiting for retirement. Hope that East Coast voters will rmb the bait and switch and just vote out the MIW this time
Nicole seah managed to get 43% of votes in 2011 in MP with a relatively unknown party when the anchor minister was still Goh Chok Tong, a big shot.

still baffled why WP didn't want to deploy Nicole Seah in MP instead of East Coast back in 2020, as the people in MP would have been more familiar with her.

also it may be more to safeguard Macpherson than MP. Don't forget about Tin Tin's grab saga.

I stay condominium. Recently some Sporean neighbours have openly expressed their non-pap voting inclination. Although anecdotal, perhaps there is some truth that private estate voters are less inclined to vote for incumbents.
I said before. It’s possible the rich and new citizens are voting opposition. It just cannot be accepted because the only possibility then is that it’s true blue sinkies staying in hdb voting for PAP.

I remember in EDMW, there was a person who critisize a newly launch condo saying many lousy things about the condo. Then few weeks later this same person admitted he bought a unit at the condo he condemn.

I thing many EDMWers are like him, openly kpkb PAP, and on voting day will cross out PAP

The more affluent group have less worries so dare to let their voices heard via the votes. Less likely to kpkb online.

Private estate no free lift upgrading, no free exterior repainting, no home improvement program, no fear.

Where will they field Harpreet? Anyone know which area is he covering? The WP team with Harpreet will be quite interesting to see the results

likely someone will step out of aljunied n lead a strong team...but is it MP or EC, i think, will only unveil at the super last min during nomination day. till then, everyone will be kept in suspense.

meanwhile, small fry opposition continue to make endless noises...

Will he contest?​

Jackie Wong, a resident of High Park Residences condominium, told AsiaOne that he wasn't aware of Ng's visit to the area.

Wong, an IT officer, did feel that it was likely Ng was trying to contest for the seat, but he wasn't looking forward to it.

"I don't like the People's Action Party (PAP)," the 51-year-old said bluntly, adding that he would vote for the opposition as long as he can.

He hopes that the opposition will be able to address bread-and-butter issues such as cost of living and inflation.

But another resident, Johnson Tong, said that although he didn't know about Ng's house visits because he was overseas, he feels that would be a sign that he might be trying to contest for the seat.

"He contested Sengkang GRC, so I think he should be quite familiar with this area… I think it would be good for him to contest for the Jalan Kayu SMC," the 36-year-old senior account manager said.


He said that the opposition has a fighting chance, saying that are more younger people in the area

TBH, Aljunied GRC only got 2 heavyweights, It's either Pritam / Sylvia, and likely Pritam staying in Aljunied if anything.
