They took it literally when edmwers say they will rather vote for a monkey than PAP

Many many monkeys wanting to be their 大王 in their little hills (wards/constituency)

 

[berger]

wow look, singapore has taken a step forward even before the elections!

 

[StoicGuy]

As individual it's very hard to manage a SMC. How you going to manage a TC? Remembered last time even WP as a quite big party also kena so jialat by managing the AHTC? The resources required don't think individual is able to handle that? Just my thought.

That's the problem with our system.

Should we be voting for an estate manager?

 

[chongquan82]

Ling ling confirm win one lah

Don't disturb moi retirement plans

Vote for pap

 

[Vincentlow82]

By getting rid of these people, PAP thought we will vote for them?

Those ridout boys still in play.

Sept too late. By then candidates would likely be stressed out as their actions are extremely scrutinized. May is more likely.

Amy Khor not running in GE2025: Gan Kim Yong​

The People’s Action Party (PAP) unveiled its candidates for Chua Chu Kang GRC and Bukit Gombak SMC on Apr. 14, 2025.

For Chua Chu Kang GRC, PAP will field Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong, Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim, Choo Pei Ling and ex-civil servant Jeffrey Siow, a new face.

On a semi-related note, Hong Kah North was dissolved and incorporated into neighbouring Jurong East-Bukit Batok GRC and Chua Chu Kang GRC, according to the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee report.

This prompted a question after the press conference to DPM Gan about the future of Amy Khor, the MP for Hong Kah North, and where she would be heading.

Gan replied that Khor was stepping down due to personal reasons, and would not contest GE2025.

He also expressed his thanks to Khor for her efforts in Hong Kah North over the years.

Khor has been in Hong Kah North for 24 years

Can we claw back all her celery for making voters uncertain after telling sinkies to get out?

September... need to wait so long...

IMO the only "meaningful" thing they do is to provide suicide squads to keep the incumbent semi-busy during GE.

I think we have so any minor oppies not because we have so many diverse views but because each one is headed by a big ego character who cannot play 2nd fiddle and think too highly of themselves.

In the grand scheme of things, these minor oppies are probably a net negative because they continue to fuel the stereotype of oppies being clowns.

waste of time. should just become a bigger oppo volunteer and work its way up.

I'm surely not going to vote for this kinda wayang

Dear Damienic,

In all fairness, Jeremy is representing for the good of every citizens and residents. It is not an easy decision and difficult one to navigate. I can criticise him but is not really an easy task and pressure to handle it.

Please be supportive.

Confidence for the future. More good years ahead... Let us take Singapore forward together.
Thank you.

I’m not criticising for sake of criticising. I just want him to be aware that there are certain expectations from the electorate when he goes out there to campaign on the ground. He needs to be able to articulate what he can do as an elected MP not just on matters concerning Singaporeans on nationwide level but also on local municipal issues relating to the constituency which he have to handle well.

Speaking up on matters concerning the country and concerns of voters is not the only thing that has to perform and address. That’s why I posed these questions as the electorate can be very unforgiving and he risk getting ridiculed if he has no answers of some basic duties such as the effective running of the TC. He doesn’t need to be the one running the TC but needs to be the one facilitating the management of TC. from the way he reiterated at least twice that the TC is under Marine Parade GRC shows that he isn’t aware of what’s going to be expected of him in terms of TC management if indeed he managed to win the seat of Mountbatten SMC.
