Imo, getting in under the wing of a GRC with a heavy weight does not solely mean the candidate is more valuable or cherished. But to make up the majority numbers in parliament with new wide eyed fresh recruits, to dilute the opposition as most would already know. How often is it that some retire as an MP when we didn't even know they existed as an MP in the very first place. 🤣 But granted being in an smc is neither here nor there for the incumbent, and his past behavior and values represents that of the current party. Husband and wife can also get divorced under changing circumstances.
Fresh recruit better than NCM?

What I can say that there is something inside the party about NCM. He should be contesting under a GRC under LHL or LW where his MP seat is guaranteed. Victor is a good classic example. Despite losing 2 times in GE, LHL knows that he will not have a third chance if he is left alone or placed under a weak GRC. So he took him under his wing to secure his win. Victor does not need to spend so much effort this time round compared to the last 2 times. AMK GRC is 100% a PAP win.

They had a narrative

Wanted NCM to fight in a SMC and purposely carved out a supposedly very safe SMC for him to re enter parliament on his "own merits"

This plan was supposed to work until WP turned up
This is a stupid move by PAP regardless whether WP is contesting or not.

Just placed NCM under LHL or LW to guarantee a win. Going by back door is a norm in PAP. There is no need to feel shy. Latest guy is Victor. Lost 2 times but eventually elected under the shadow of LHL.

NCN should ask LW to do the same thing.

If want a safe ward, won't be somewhere in the east where wp will contest, he should be contesting in non east side liao
PAP didn't know WP contesting until 1 day before nomination day

RDU announced very early they were going there and stepped aside last minute

Tbh, this SMC is very crucial in whether NCM gets back as Cabinet Minister or continue his NTUC task.

Since he enjoys so much his NTUC job of helping the worker, let's make his wish comes true to stay in NTUC continue the good work!

Vote him out! Let him enjoys what he is doing now!

It was because NCM himself asked to contest in SMC to prove he does not need any safety net at GRC.

Stupid of him. He should be like Victor. Just open his mouth and ask LHL and LW to place under his wing will save all the trouble.

Once elected, all the bad things about him will be gone in the wind. People all LL since he is already elected.

This is definitely an ego thing of NCM.

They should have send NCM to anchor MP-BH GRC or Mountbatten SMC or Marymount SMC or Kebun Baru SMC or Queenstown SMC if PAP really want NCM to be in Parliament, any or the SMCs I listed above is way easier and safer for PAP to win..lol

NCM now is hot potatoe. If PAP really value him, the best endorsement wil be from the PM, so just look out for that.

CCS really articulate and perceptive - defend the role and work of labour MPs but not the decision making errors by the top.

And this is the opening that WP will leverage on.

WP has been contesting on accountability and the pitfalls of "ownself check ownself".

Boils down to what the voters hear and find to be important.

I already said the whole NCM and his siblings are all paper general with super high ego.

They have never beaten in their life journey and cannot accept losing as an option

Precisely. This clearly shows something inside the party.

If cannot accept defeat, why not become like Victor? Guaranteed win. And this will shut the mouths of all those who opposed him.

Why is Jalan Kayu not safe? It was under AMK GRC which did well. And I am sure the voting data is available and thoroughly analysed.

Because as paper general the ego is too high. Must win the battle in style and not using back door

Look at Victor - super happy....... he is now counting his month allowance of $14k, as a part time job.

This victor guy look at his face can tell is those opportunist. I am sure he has been waiting for this day to come.

May be now busy at the car show room or show flat to make his next big buy
