Marine Parade all rich people

if woody contesting more or less confirm win liao. altho dont discount the fact that TCJ has been on the news often and is touted as one of the few possible PM/DPM or high calibre material

Marine parade all rich people? Go to Marine terrace food centre and see if got old ah mas tell you she got no money and if you can buy 2 pack of chee cheong fun for her to bring home (most probably for old hubby).

so little... must be like ah gong, contest in all available seat... at the year of his death and SG50, give him the best history can give

Last time 1954 pap contested 5 seats, 1959 they contested all 51 seats. Guess not many talents want to join wp. Wp contest too many also die. I believe must build foundation first

IMO they are preparing for the next GE liao by contesting in MPGRC, with JCSMC absorption + GCT retirement there's a high chance provided no major redrawing occurs lol

In other news, everyone is still wonder why pap claim to keep their election promises since GE2011 butt steel fail to win 2 by-erections in 2013.

LHL already said he will retire after two to three more elections including this one. And he is likely to take Teo along with him when he does. Personally I think its ten more years before he bite the dust.

Don't think so. At most 2022 retire

In other news, everyone is still wonder why WP broke all their election promise since GE2011

Pappies promise to put Singaporeans first, then go and pass the anti-Singaporean white paper.

I think ten years because TCJ/CCS too behkan and cannot take over his place.

 

[GunzerX]

At least now opposition work hand in hand to avoid three way fight, something positive to look at.

 

[oddeye82]

I think the only 2 or 3 of the Aljunied A team should stay and the rest should lead their own teams to fight other GRCs...

expect one or two funny ppl trying to compete as independent candidate

remember sinkie one day nv pwn sinkie will die

yee jen jong should take marine parade since his "stronghold" is the former joo chiat smc area

Yeah, thats the rationale, since Joo Chiat is absorbed into Marine Parade.


But I feel a bit wasted, he would boost the east coast team if he was to be deployed there. East Coast GRC more likely to fall than Marine Parade.

I can partly understand why WP is being conservative in contesting 28 seats only, especially after they have been constantly fixed by the gahmen on various issues ever since they won Aljunied GRC, Hougang and Punggol East over the last few years.

Spreading too much will do no good in terms of allocating resources.

I will consider WP to be successful if they can manage to win 1 more GRC (in addition to retaining Aljunied GRC) and retaining their existing wards of Hougang and Punggol East. And in order to do so, either Mr Low TK or Ms Sylvia Lim must uproot and helm the team in another GRC so as to bolster the chances of winning it. Either go East Coast or Nee Soon.

He never expects his would be successors to be so CIM.

Independent candidates will end up self pwn and throw their deposits into their bins.

East coast should be a more rational strategy. Nee soon up north will not help much in terms of geographical location.

I can bet with you, they stand little chance in NS
