I see it as mutualistic symbiosis. One side needs candidates of sterling credentials to win elections, the other wants a political fast track, or has ulterior motives.

Time will allow both parties to sieve out intentions and potentials. But right here, right now, WP can utilise them to win elections first.
Lol, political fast track?

Fast track to what?

If join ruling party, yes, fast track to ministar

Join oppo, at best MP nia

I think the chance of her being sent from PAP is nil. Why so?

Because having talented civil servants like her joining opposition parties already imposes an image issue to PAP themselves, the voters would think how come PAP cannot attract talent like her? How come such talent is joining WP?

There's nothing wrong with a former government scholar and civil servant joining WP.

More than half of the Oppo were either previous scholars, former civil servants or MPs.

That shows Oppo can be an alternate catchment for enthusiastic or passionate Singaporeans with certain quality or competency, to participate in and speak up.

Aren't they better than keyboard warriors?

Perhaps, we may see a 2-party ecosystem ?
Actually, there is a lot of Civil Servants and Scholars are WP supporters while working in Civil Service. Taking Government Money and yet anti Government. This show the character of the person.
Wonder why A lot of civil servants first job is Government job. Their ultimate goal is be a politician. They will join oppies as it is easier get into parliament now.

Talented people join opposition is good for Singapore because it makes voters notice the party and also provide more balanced politics and debates in parliament
Yup. But most people are joining the opposition because they have a good chance of earning the $16k monthly allowance.

Although most civil serpents are pro-PAP there are some who are independant or pro-Opposition ones

Provided its a proper opposition like WP or PSP and not mosquito party like PAR, PPP, SUP, NSP and SDA which the chances of them going into parliament is less than tiok Toto group 1 prize

I think it’s wrong to make this assumption that working for government means you must vote PAP. And voting for opposition does not mean you are anti-government.

Har ? Join cs means pro government? Where the logic. Work and personal life should be separate. We shd all have independent mind to make our own decision.

They are Yes man when they work for the government so that they can be promoted fast. Subsequently, quit government job and join opposition to enter parliament That is their end goal while working for government.

Wow that’s a massive leap of logic. Most people would avoid joining opposition due to intrusion into their personal life.

it took great courage and determination to join opposition in SGP.

basically, it is hard to find job once the employers know you are from the oppo party vs the PAP.

even you are a business partner, it is hard to get govt tenders as well.
Eileen, I admire your courage and determination of joining the opp in the coming GE.

I'm very certain you know the path is very difficult and full of obstacles: you can never be employed by the govt or statutory board, even private companies also not willing to employ any opp candidate as their executive.

WP Sengkan GRC MP Louis Chua know it better.

there are better and easier ways to earn $16k than joining and get elected as opposition MP.

They will get the $16k allowance instead of their $5k monthly salary. Why not?

If Dr chee is a mole, he long time give up liao or the higher powers would have put him in parliament for to give sinkies a false sense of accomplishment for having an opposition
Mole will not last so long….and almost win a consituency Bukit Batok SMC
Nicole seah is a rare gem. I don't think we will see much ppl who can rally as well as her.
Agreed. What a pity she commit a small mistake which is not accepted in eastern world

I don't respect PS at all who throw his party member under the bus. We need more oppies like LTK who reject the pay of LOTO - Leader of Opposition Party.

IB, troll, or IB troll? :s13:
