Is true.. Can't show any hatred to my mp... Since I have never seen him in person for the 9 years I lived in punggol..

Who is your MP?

 

[coldish]

Point 1, which a bro correct states, the vote shift towards opposition is due to unhappiness in the residents. How unhappy are Punggol residents?

Point 2, my comment will anger anyone who does not agree with me. But at least allow me to defend my point. How many GRCs have all these in one place:

1. Multiple MRT stations and include an interchange, and also bus interchange
2. University or Digital District
3. Safra
4. Hub or sport Hub
5. HDB designs that look like Condos
6. A waterway that dubbed "Venice"
7. An island for itself for recreation in nature
8. More than one shopping malls
9. Huge childcare centre + multiple other smaller ones
10. Feeder bus service + LRT running parallel

I list 10 above and all these are found just in Punggol. Maybe there is more I missed out But my main point is all these 10 above are found in Punggol. What more can Punggol residents ask for? To move the Parliament building there as well?

Unhappiness can be caused by many reasons. With so many things ongoing now, don't tell me PG residents are not unhappy even for 1 moment.
I just merely used the comment you used against you. Lol.
You want example, I can tell u tampines. In fact tampines is a matured estate with better property asset enhancement. So what? Look at the overcrowding there. PG is heading to that direction. This is also why WP is fielding another good team there.

I can refute all of your 10 or 20 points la.
So let me just say 1. Say waterway point.
Easily of the best malls in the northeast, central of PG. Have family, children facilities. So nice so nice but when come to look for food, I can't even eat there without waiting for 1 hrs at least. Look at the queue for restaurants. Food court so nice so nice newly renovated but I can't even see an empty seat when I want to eat. Why? The seats are reduced after renovation.
End up many families have to order grabfood for convenience sake. Toilets..so many but still not enough why?
If you drive, you know how dreaded it is just to enter and exit the mall or driveway, I am talking about the period even before they started to build the new line. Now is even worse.

I don't want to even start about the residents staying at waterbay.

If you only want to look at things from outside only, I suggest you go take a walk inside as well.


Oh and this is what u said in 2020.

Punggol Place is the area nearest to the MRT and Bus Interchange. 270+ is nearer to MRT/BI than 280+ and from 270+ you can walk to Waterway point sheltered all the way. 280+ you will need an umbrella if it is raining. Hence those in 270+ typically want a premium over 280+.

Why are so many people selling? 1 reason is the price is still good for anyone who wants to sell now.

Second is, punggol resale supply is increasing, the later it is, the harder to sell.

Third, punggol flats are very new but do not have good floor plans (my personal opinion). Alot of wastage and unusable floor area. If you are really detailed, you should consider the price vs useful floor area.

Fourth, Punggol is very crowded these days. Waterway point remains very crowded over weekends even during Covid. The NTUC is jam packed with shoppers unless you decide to buy grocery over awkward hours. And Punggol will only get more crowded in the future. There isn't another mall in line in the near future (correct me if I am wrong). New mall will probably come when the govt thinks the population is enough to support it. But for now, Punggol residents are likely to squeeze with everyone else.

Fifth, families with young children want to stay closer to their older parents to take care of them or older parents to help take care of the children.

Sixth, environmental factors. Recently, the airplanes flying are really noisy and it happens very frequently. My friends staying there complain that their babies and young children cant get proper afternoon naps. Occasionally there are smells. While the airbase is scheduled to move from 2030 onwards (it can be 2030, 2031, 2032.....2040....2050......who knows exactly when), the smell is unlikely to disappear as it is from Pasir Gudang in Msia

Now u say PG until like it is in heavens.

This is the credibility of Pappies these days.

Yes I'm aware of that. I'm just saying that Tampines as a town has many of the qualities he lauded about Punggol GRC.

 

[the_dog]

SAFVC formed after 2011.

In other words, he could be 'forced' to join SAFVC to silence critics because he didnt serve NS.

how to silence critics when SAFVC is not comparable to NS. For starters, one can voluntarily RESIGN at any time from SAFVC with 3 months notice. Try telling NSF and NSmen that they can resign from their obligations

LOL

 

[Dudick]

ppl who get the drift will get it. ppl who don't will not. but he is stating a fact. for someone who nvr did it before, he still got the cheek to attend the ocs commissioning parade as the guest of honor. really is no honor....


Read HWZ Forum Rules!

Don’t be like this, LKY also never serve NS

 

[NTB2DO]

And Tampines is extremely packed too! You go to Tampines' malls and then you go to Marine Parade's (PP/1KM) it's like going to 2 different worlds. Tampines is really crowded! Likely traffic condition in Tampines also quite bad.

 

[zensushi]

Pritam is it 意思浅浅 Janil Puthuchery never serve NS that’s why he don’t know check strength and “leave no men behind”?​

these probably just turned 21. first time voters.

 

[DulanMax]

I read in wiki he is Malaysian born. And raised in Malaysia and then studied in UK. Is that correct? Like that also can become minister in Singapore?

I wonder when will we have a Singapore born minister in Malaysia

OYK's brother running for elections in Australia, on 3 May also

 

[Cactus123]

If GKY lost, he will be in history book as the first DPM to lose in election.

Their malls are crowded that is true.

I don't know about the congestion on the road.

I think nothing beats Punggol or Sengkang when it comes to traffic jams.

 

[Atilas]

Hmm I’m scared of RK repeat.

thinking twice about my vote now

No need to be afraid. If the incidents were serious enough, they would have been used to attack her during the campaign. They will not wait until they lose the GRC, then attack her with these incidents later.

LW just cheapened the hard work of the civil service, in particularly the MFA and MTI, whose staff worked behind the scene to prep, nego, setup meetings, etc., so that te minister can appear and to sign the contract.


this is typical of any deals that requires protocols and processes.


minister do not personally do all these and nego the deals, though they may be consulted or set the framework.

by saying Gan, or any other ministers are indispensible, LW or any PAP candidates, PAP is discounting the efforts of the civil service.

that is why civil service MUST be independent from ruling Govt of the day. Govt may change during GE, but civil service does not.

PaP is stirring dangerous fear mongering This GE.

Let's not forget the top management of CS are peppered by scholars who might one day appear as PAP candidates. Very hard to be independent. I also think it's no secret our CS are very politically leaned towards incumbents.
