Let be objective. You may not like to see $1.5m HDB but we cannot vouch for others.

I can also say that there are many people who cheer to see $1.5m HDB.

Let the ballot box tells you whether Desmond is a failure or not. If he scored more than 70%, he has the mandate, so what can you say?
most house owner are happy with their HDB price. human being are selfish. so, im not expecting people want to see their HDB price go down. so is singaporean pwned singaporean as usual.

The issue is everybody including children, retirees, housewives, tourists, foreigners living here pay GST.

But not everyone pays income tax so it could mean a much bigger jump in income tax rates.

I strongly recommend they do their math and be prepared to explain how to balance the budget.

If not once they tio attacked they will look silly and amateurish then ownself chibaboom.

Yes, this is the worst nightmare for psp. Completely wiped off unless they secured at least one seat.

Yalor so one of them HP or LMW should consider contesting a SMC.

GRC not easy and they are already very thin... I am not familiar with the rest, only know TCB, LMW and HP.

Exactly.
The open leg policy and GST work hand in hand. Reduce one means increase another if to achieve the same revenue. Hopefully they have other supplementary somution to sexplain how it works to convince voters.

To a certain extent. Even lmv has to resign from party secretary previously until now he is called back.
Maybe I am oversensitive.
I dun think HP is happy about the decision.
Just my gut feeling.

Both of them did their part as NCMP.
The notti boy got rewarded.

The hard truth is that psp is dependent on Tan. If he no more there, the party will collapse, just like SPP who is dependent on CST.

LTK knows the danger, and hence he planned long time ago for succession. WP is not about LTK. Even MIW has succession planning from 1G to 4G.
yes this is right, LTK built a brand name, CST failed to, PSP has to as well if not will just fade away

Whatever they do, HP should contest in a SMC/ lead a separate team to contest in a GRC.

They have to manage the risk esp since LMW and HP are so different and when together one of them will have to accommodate the other.

Also, if WP send an A Team to Marine Parade, they will win.

And if WP retain Sengkang, then there will be no seats for NCMP.

The issue now is WP seems to be distracted and misled to think they can win East Coast while their team in Sengkang looks weak.

The aura is very weak esp Ting Ru's.

You are right.
WP need to be wary about SK.

SK will be retained with an increased vote share

WP win one more GRC, and if PSP wins nothing, that's a goodbye liao

Whatever the oppositions suggest, the ruling party will reject. This is their norm. Their ego is more important than the welfare of the population. So we can forget about lowering GST and waiver of GST for essential good.
