Talks with WP positive???
If WP decided to give way to ah bui, I really would be damn disappointed

Think WP only let Desmond to contest Pasir Ris which they never cover, WP seldom do horse trading with other parties and only contest where their members have covered frequently, Desmond is a generous guy but talk to much like Ah Beng which makes him unsuitable to lead a political party

They must have really been wary of WP threat, hence keep coming up with incentives for MP residents. First the free shuttle bus service, now this welfare scheme.
I understand that the free shuttle bus service is no more.
Dunno why they started it in the 1st place.
As for welfare scheme, they will have loads of check and reviews before you get it.
So, they just hang a carrot for the few who passed the check.

Opposition should reduce income tax for middle class.

Reduce all handsout to the poor, don’t be like california whereby all sorts of tax were levied on middle class to support the poor and homeless.

Oppo wanna win? Poor and old people will vote pap because of freebies, the middle class is the group that they can convince.

remember seng kang? All middle class and young families there.

Thank me later for those opposition idiot party with stupid policies
Good what, cali economy if it's country quite satki leh. If California were a country, it would be the 5th largest economy in the world

They even considering to bypass federal level as US need them more than they need US. All other state burden and leech off them.

Agreed that the timing of the US trade war played well into their cards. Is it heaven will to help the incumbent? Why didn't Trump start the trade war after the election. This event will help the incumbent due to the fear factor which we have seen in GE 2020, Covid.
There will be some impact but let’s not be overly worried about it. I think the electorate are a lot more mature in recent years than in the past where such fears often play right into their cards.

he insisted on contesting in punggol east by election back in 2012. honestly speaking no need to talk to him. at least chee back down back then.
He polled a miserable 1% plus in 2012 if I didn’t remember wrongly. So i will be very surprised if he does insist to go head on with WP in Punggol GRC. He should be wiser from that episode. And the deposit figure for GRC is massive compared to SMC
