We should give her a second chance since government is supportive of yellow ribbon projects.

Right pic sedap.

Think his image now is more acceptable to many people. He has sort of outlived many of the generation (in the political sense, if not any other) that try to make him look bad in the past. So, its sort of a cleaner slate now to prove himself.
Which is true that more people have accepted him. However, he kind of still have the old baggage from the past. In recent years, whenever he appear on the news, there are still a few people around me who will say that ‘he betrayed Chiam. He shouted at GCT”, those kind of things. I always tell people that there is more than meets the eye between him and Chiam while they were at SDP. Chiam moved a motion to censure him for his hunger strike, “disobedience“ and it went for voting within the CEC. The motion failed and Chiam realised he lost the support within CEC and he step down afterwards and eventually left the party. The media has always went about saying CSJ ousted Chiam from the party. Then the shouting incident caught on camera which I do not condone too. But who doesn’t make mistakes? that incident, for heaven’s sake, happened more than 22 years ago. I feel some people are flogging a dead horse. Many years later people have come to be impressed by him but on off you can still see comments that people are sceptical of his character. How bad could this person be when he devoted 10 years working on the ground in BB? His perseverance and dedication is amazing.

i hope he will do well in the coming election but Sembawang has always been like a stronghold for the PAP and it is his first contest there. So I think he would have done well to get 40% of the votes. I seriously think 45% a bit tough

Chee got no chance to enter Parliament even as a NCMP. I guess he will get high 30% or low 40% in Sembawang West SMC.

East/North-East area will have alot of battleground. So likely WP will hit 45-46% in some areas.

If Paul Tambyah pulls an unexpected victory in Bukit Panjang SMC, then it means Liang Eng Hwa did not live up to resident's expectation.
Liang eng hua gave a very weird interview yesterday, acknowledging that Paul is a very strong opponent and could win that SMC too...

Just want to share something: a few weeks before electoral boundaries were announced, I was at Jurong West Street 81, Blk 844A CP bus stop. I look at the Jurong West Park, where there is one town council signboard. Then, I got a vision: a group of MPs, wearing red-white shirt, below the picture got the words “West Coast-Jurong West GRC”.

Also, I saw a vision of PSP members parading around West Coast-Jurong West GRC, on the day after the polling day.

Advanced congratulations to PSP for winning West Coast-Jurong West GRC.
Well, I can only hope you are not the real-life scrabby.....

Liang is quite a likeable MP from what i heard. But you can’t reject a person’s of Tambyah’s calibre from parliament for 2 elections. It is Singaporeans loss not to have him in parliament.

In this episode of R U OKAY!?, Minister of State Sun Xueling speaks candidly about the rising tide of scams in Singapore - with over $1.1 billion lost to increasingly sophisticated fraudsters. Some are so quick to adapt, they jump on brand new government policies within days, crafting believable lies to trap unsuspecting victims.

But it’s not all policy talk - MOS Sun also opens up about the personal cost of public service, including a heartbreaking moment when her young son didn’t recognise her as “mummy” after long stretches apart.
