Andre will get killed by bad optics.I like Andre low as a candidate better than Alexis dang now that I see how both responded to online chatters about them. One apologises while the other "try not to let it affect me" instead of addressing it. Andre low is a better candidate.
Opposition candidates are scrutinised much, much, much more closely than PAP's candidate.
It's like they say in Hokkien, See suaⁿ pang sai, suaⁿ buay tò; see lang kóng oē, lang ē tò (You can **** facing a mountain, it won't fall; but if you talk bad about people, they will fall). The intense focus on opposition means even old, private stuff like this can bring them down, while similar or worse things from the ruling party often get brushed aside. The scrutiny itself becomes the weapon.
Ho lang tio phak, ho ma tio kia (Good people get beaten, good horses get ridden). Any minor flaw from the opposition is amplified and used against them, simply because they are the opposition challenging the status quo. The bar is just set impossibly higher for them.
