[GE2025] Mediacorp Live Roundtable Debate, 27 April 2025 8pm

michael thng would be interesting

Yes, and if he performs well, Tampines will likely flip!

 

[itedino]

Jamus singlehandedly swung SengKang voters in his performance at the last debate. This debate is actually an excellent chance to show voters what candidates are capable of should they be voted into parliament. WP will likely send someone from Punggol or Tampines as these 2 GRCs have chance to be taken down.

That debate is 鸿门宴 for sdp that time

 

[Reborn]

Yes, and if he performs well, Tampines will likely flip!

hope they field him

 

[KPO_SAHM]

I want to watch this!!!

Jamus scored a home run at the previous debate, I want to see the birth of the next rising star.

Michael

 

[itedino]

Yes very high stakes. I am hoping Harpreet gets sent. Michael is good, but the sight of a young guy whacking a more senior person, possibly a minister, may not be accepted by boomers.

Right. Harpeet need 10 to 15% votes from punngol grc

 

[rEe_TaN]

Character assassination? Please record ah!

this round table more likely to influence young voters.michael thng would probably appeal more. just my opinion

Yes and its very tough. Will be up against GKY and SXL.

Maybe you're right. As I'm not walking on the ground with them, I may not have the clearest picture. I think Michael has gotten quite a good hype now. Can choose to go all in with him, or diversify and try to get the Punggol team more publicity.

 

[DaBaiCai]

Michael is better. Saw podcast of Harpreet. He gives good replies, but he needed to pause to frame the reply which might not be suitable for a debate stage.

for me its just a guess too.

 

[Swisspers]

I would actually recommend Andre Low, he seems likeable and always smiling.

May make the difference in Jln Kayu against NCM

Imagine if PAP sends NCM and WP sends Andre

IIRC Michael was a debater since school days.

he was? interesting.

 

[Tabula Rasa]

I would actually recommend Andre Low, he seems likeable and always smiling. Same vibes as Jamus

Don't think PAP will send NCM. He's not a strong orator, and they probably see him as too risky to field in a GRC.

I think Andre is a nice guy. This kind good for walkabouts and connecting with the ground. On a national platform, not so sure if he can shine.

 

[Tabula Rasa]

he was? interesting.

I think so, I cannot remember.

This. He needs some thinking time, and his talking pace is relatively slow. His speech at the Punggol rally wasn't particularly impressive as well (no offence, but a lot of candidates did better).

Michael would be a good choice and his runway is much longer as well.

[ServerGuySG]

No SDP and CSJ ??

 

[ServerGuySG]

WP hard time deciding to send Jamus or Michael Thng now..
