[CONSOLIDATED] Singapore General Election 2025 Discussion Thread

[Damienic]

Many prolly tried to join WP but got rejected

WP got their own set of selection criteria. If the candidate always post all kinds of negative criticisms against PAP on social media, these will not be accepted to the party. There is a good reason why GMS left WP after 2006. He was kind of recruited during the time when JBJ was playing a more active role in the party. But he is the kind who will surely clash with Low and Sylvia. Good that he left, otherwise for sure will bring down the name of WP. GMS kept criticising the WP leadership for many years after he left. He is a bitter old man with an axe to grind with almost anyone

WP is still playing mind games with PAP so no noise from them to see if Pritam or Sylvia will leave Aljunied

Yeah…also no noise on any heavy weight taking on WP in Aljunied? In fact, both Aljunied and SK GRC team had been revealed and no heavy weight?

 

[tomicaguy]

Still haven't announce NCM? lol

 

[Skoda29]

Don't be fooled. All the parties are playing mind games now, including WP and the PAP.

Don't be surprised to see Pritam Singh and Harpreet Singh in East Coast on Nomination Day.

Two Singhs(minority)too many bah. Maintain one in each GRC wld be Ideal.

Because sg not united, and small sg need 4 mayors and 96 mps

 

[mouserabbit]

Thats very abrupt.... Wonder what's the reason and why she didn't contest in CCK GRC, considering tat HKN smc and Tengah got subsumed into it...

I always felt that she was a nice and sincere person through her vlogs in last GE...

From the PSP FB page, there are a number of people walking the ground.
Lawrence Pek (the star catch who was the sec gen of mfg association), Wendy Low (ex tp candidate), Sani Ismail (cck need malay), Nalla (ex Yishun candidate), Ella Stan Lee(that smiley lady in that slapping incident) so these people were already ahead of her if she did not walk the ground for the past few years.

I jus find the timing very weird... She could have left psp in 2023 when she took a break to take care of her dad n further her studies.... Why did she switch to sdp now? Jus last month she was having walkabout with psp...

I think she expected to be fielded in one of the KYM SMCs, only to be told she won't be fielded and she decides to join SDP to gets fielded? Actually PAR still stake claim to MM and KB so PSP should just go and claim YCK, as if PAR would be able to dent PSP much.

I doubt HSK will stay on….he might retire?
If PAP heavyweight never stand in Aljunied, what make PS leave and engage on another GRC? SK GRC already proven that WP dun need a current MP to lead and fight another GRC, they can simply win it on their own…

Think WP is growing in the likes of incumbent. The brand is in the party, not individual. See the leadership and people changes, but its still growing steadily.

SINGAPORE – Opposition party Red Dot United (RDU) on April 13 introduced three potential candidates for Nee Soon GRC in the upcoming election.

Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad, a 57-year-old private school teacher who is RDU’s head of policy and its Malay bureau, Mr Pang Heng Chuan, 56, a tech start-up business director and Ms Sharon Lin, 40, a senior consultant in the IT sector, were introduced as RDU’s team leads for the five-member group representation constituency.

Speaking to reporters at 101C Yishun Avenue 5 after a morning walkabout, RDU secretary-general Ravi Philemon said RDU is committed to engaging with the constituency and working with residents to “lift them up”.

“We want to work with the residents here. We want to listen to them, we want to lift them up, and we want to lead in a very refreshing manner. And that will be the theme for Red Dot United as we embark on this campaign for Nee Soon GRC,” said Mr Philemon.

He added that residents have given feedback about cleanliness in the area, citing problems with rats, and issues about high rents for food stalls.

RDU has identified Nee Soon GRC as one of seven constituencies it plans to contest. The rest are Jurong East-Bukit Batok GRC, Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, Tanjong Pagar GRC, Jurong Central SMC, Jalan Kayu SMC and Radin Mas SMC.

I’m afraid the mosquitoes parties are more resilient than you thought. Even if they loses deposits, they will still come back. So many of them performed poorly at previous elections, kena ridiculed and still they turn up. They are like 打不死的蟑螂。

I think its high time Singaporeans take a stand. We want opposition, we want a constructive parliament, we don't want PAP to pass terrible policies easily. But we don't want all these motley crews, or crows. To have so many opposition parties in a small countries show how stupid Singaporean's egos are, especially all these old hopeless out of touch politicians.

So if there's no SDP, PSP, WP or even RDU in the constituent, I will vote PAP. All these moquitoes keep thinking "wa my vote share increased means i got chance" when its the fact the whole country increase for opp. It's not that ppl want them in, is just a dissent vote against PAP. If all these mosquitoes realise their vote share dropped while all the other credible opposition increase then it will make them wake up and f off

Confirm that uncle won't be candidate for WP one

 

[Hazel123]

There are many issues facing PAP, but that doesn't mean the mosquito parties have a system in place to manage the town councils and grassroots like WP, they are just a group of people who want to be Indian chiefs, I will just write Fcuk PAP if the only opposition is the mosquito parties

Please don't write in their box as that is counted as a vote for them.
