Low thia khiang and chen shou mao should step in and help conquest of east cost or marine parade

unlikely since they retired
it may also carry the connotation that things aren't going sufficiently well within the party that they need to come out of retirement

Lim Tean is a clown. I wonder who are his financial backers that he can get fined and forfeit his deposit all the time.

Now that kar chang puteh party insist on contesting Potong Pasir too.

Maybe got very rich PAP supporter sponsor Lim Tean

Where is Chen Show Mao? Is he even still involved in the WP?

WP didn't show any cards yet

Still very quiet. Waiting for nomination day when LTK and Pritam Singh show up

I’m not worried about Desmond Lim contesting Punggol GRC and making it a 3 corner fight. His party is too weak to take away any meaningful vote share from WP. If he really persisted on going to Punggol GRC, I think he will poll at most 2-3%. Maybe even lesser

Don't pray pray, his coalition didn't lose their deposit in the last election.

LW confirm this week seek approval from president to dismiss the parliament.

Now hari raya is over. Time for nomination and campaign. Pap new faces all came out liao. People already resign, u expect them feed themselves meh. Nomination liao

Pritam Singh should lead and conquest other zone

WP tartic always after nomination will be super agreesive. Full machinery focus to visit each household and rally. They never stop untill cooling day.

Other opposition never learn. That one month is golden period

 

[Eureka75]

Just need to V in LMW, LT and CSJ is good representation of oppo as they dare to question them and had proven to do their home work.
WP is goner…

Lim Tean is 100% goner as he has lawsuits, charges and POFMA against him and too loud and confrontational

You could also say the same about Chee Soon Juan.

Even his former mentor is against him, and I am one that doesn't believe that a leopard can change its spots in politics.

I would be very very surprise if the writ of election was issued in the first half of April.

This election priority is not opposition be government. Is about getting 30 plus opposition mps into parliament

Tan Chen Chen got 39% against SXL

That shows Punggol demographic isn't so safe for PAP. If an unknown WP candidate can get nearly 40% against a well-known MP, it means Punggol GRC will be close if WP sends a good team.

What is a good team though?

WP don't have that many candidates to begin with. They actually reduced the number of contested seats in 2020 compared to 2015.

To think Raeesah Khan was one of those chosen to stand for election still bothers me to this day.

Let's pray that all seats are contest first and minimal 3 corner fights.

CSJ got learn from his mistakes in the pass, now not so aggressive and confrontational

I'm not sure is it just a facade or has he actually learned his lesson?

Why bother u

SMC is no longer easier to win these days. With exception of opposition held SMC, most of the SMC that are carved out from GRC usually are precincts that have shown higher level of support for PAP. If Hazel Poa thinks the likes of Jurong Central SMC, Queenstown SMC or even Pioneer SMC is easier to win than West Coast Jurong GRC, she is very much mistaken

Yep, very fair assessment.

And PAP SMC candidates are seriously impressive, mainly because all of them do alot of groundwork. In SMC people are more concerned with bread and butter daily stuffs on the ground over whether the candidate will speak about national issues in parliament not. If you realised, most of the candidates PAP send to SMC are very affable to old ppl like TPL, SXL, Amy, Gan Siow Huang, Grace Fu etc. Almost impossible to win. Even LTK go there 1v1 also hard.
