To check on the ruling party, and they are genuinely good.

Eileen Chong, one of WP's candidate for Tampines GRC.

Involvement with the Workers’ Party
Eileen joined the Workers’ Party as a volunteer in December 2024. Since then, she has participated in house visits in Bedok Reservoir and Kovan, and currently serves as a volunteer caseworker at Meet-the-People Sessions in Aljunied GRC alongside MP Gerald Giam.

A complete unknown in the political scene, until she joined WP in December 2024.

How is she 'genuinely good'?

Putting aside any comparison to any other parties' candidates ... and just focus and assess this Ms. Chong.

Why u assume he nvr walk-around and volunteer since 2011??

Ok ... what's your assumption when it comes to Eileen Chong?

Wonder why the ruling party has no candidates of this caliber? May be the result of their prescribed requirements.

We are talking about Michael??

Anyway for Eileen Chong.. she just looks like a capable person to me.. the way she is able to take the role of emcees well makes me feel that she can do alot of things.. of course it will take times to show whether they are really good or not.. but I would definitely want to give them a chance to represent and help Singapore..

Are you aware that quite a number of PAP newbies are ex-senior civil servants/military personal who had RECENTLY resigned to join politics.

Can't be they had also volunteered with PAP prior to joining the party too?

Are folks supporting WP .. cos they're genuinely good, .. or just for the sake of 'opposing PAP'?

No doubt Michael Thng is articulate .... then again, many eloquent folks out there.

WP's Kenneth Tiong joined in 2023 ... Eileen Chong joined only in Dec 2024 (less than 5 months ago) ... and yet they're deemed suitable and ready to be fielded??

Given that a close to $200K pa allowance can be seen as a strong incentive, what's WP's criteria? Such a short runway is sufficient to accurately assess an individual's suitability?

And let's just assess WP on their own merits.

PAP has their fair share of criticisms - but are we holding WP to the same standards/expectations we levy upon PAP?

Folks often criticize PAP's MPs for not doing much .... WP's Chen Show Mao arrived with much fanfare ... served two terms .. and what's his notable achievements over the 10 years? Yup ... I struggle to recall as well.

Reading/analyzing how Pritam/WP handled (i) Raeesah, (ii) Leon + Nicole, (iii) Pritam's own criminal conviction, (iv) expulsion of members (eg. Daniel Goh) etc ...

I fear they're ruining the good work of LTK.

Same for Jamus. Alot of theoretical economics.

I support WP because they put some thought into their manifesto and while I have doubts with the some of ideas raised by them, it's still better than motherhood statements that's the core of PAP's manifesto.

while one can argue that WP can say anything they want since they will not be the gov anyway, PAP is essentially asking for a blank cheque with their lacklustre manifesto.

Er.. how about Foo Cexiang?

https://www.straitstimes.com/singap...-mot-director-foo-cexiang-joins-psa-singapore

Mr Foo started his new role on April 15.

He joined Pasir Ris-Punggol grassroots organisations on April 2 after his last day at MOT on April 1.

How much do we know about the newbies from the ruling party?
Not much except we know they quit their CS jobs to participate in this year's GE.

Same for Jamus. Alot of theoretical economics.

Minister of Trade and Industry is engineer by training, (now retired) minister of defence is medical doctor by training, etc.

Not to mention that JL is a backbencher, not office holder.

To be fair and not biased.. maybe some IB can recommend some newbie from pap so that i can feel how good they are.. I don't have the time to go see one by one.. needs recommendation...

Agreed. No need to assume... This GE, WP had quite a few good candidates. None spotted so far from the ruling party. Sorry, there's nothing to share.

To add on, someone with no medical background can advise singaporeans about covid and vaccines.

I remember coming across a thread here calling into question the character of one PAP newbie.. likening him to Ivan Lim (though he's actually not as mean as Ivan but rather he seems to be merely a 'keng' king)..

Won't reveal his name here, but I understand the unfavourable comment had first appeared in Reddit.
