All the opposition only apply to do auditorr.......nobody say they want to do the actual work ....sit back everyday ask questions easier job

My mother in law in tampines die die will vote pap no matter what.
I fear will have a lot of ppl like her in tampines

Throw away her polling card

 

[zueinder]

On second thought, then why Gan Siow Huang shout 'Merdeka' then allowed to go into Parliament? I thought less talk more action? I don't see any action from her that is fruitful leh.

Soldier, what are you smiling about soldier?

Does my face look funny to you, soldier?

You see the mango tree over there..?

 

[Overture1928]

tbh just hard see Baey Yam Keng losing. Isn’t he like mr popular over there

George Yeo was more popular than BYK and held higher political office roles. Eventually, he got voted out despite his popularity.

The rule of GRC and SMC is different. In a GRC, voters tend to evaluate group of candidates rather than a single individual. If Baey got voted out in Tampines GRC, he needs to thank PAP for introducing the GRC system. If he contests in a SMC, I believe he will win.

Professor Walid lives in Tampines GRC and BYK is his MP. You can refer to his views below:


The GRC system is a double-edged sword.

Quite challenging for him to carry 4 other persons, after CLH is no more and Desmond's area is split into a new SMC.

last time pap wins grc with one star candidate...
now this works against them because one unpopular candidate can also bring down one grc.

congrats to tampines residents for the gift of tactical voting lol.....same with amk

 

[doppypoppy]

Baey is good on the ground because he is a political failure holding a lightweight role in government thus he has alot of free time because his ministry doesn't need him

Just like those employees who do not perform in their job but attend all those useless HR initiatives and heads them, they will seem very visible but they are useless in substance

[Lemonkey]

[Jackal84]

sorry sir... hw to take action when oppo is not the govt?

Y not 51% MIW step down so u can see oppo do some action?

They will tell you if you take a plane ride, would you let a person with no flying experience to fly the plane?

But they won't tell you they've been flying the plane and have had numerous accidents.

 

[BBClone]

Why use sunrise and wake up when you can just use reveille?

 

[focus1974]

if you need people to get things done.... then you need the person to be the Minister or MOS.
if not, their job scope is more or less similar to other PAP MPs who are not ministers or MOS.

Baey only controls one of the wards. Not all residents will see his popularity.
