[GE2025] Tampines GRC

[CaiPuDan]

George Yeo was more popular than BYK and held higher political office roles. Eventually, he got voted out despite his popularity.

The rule of GRC and SMC is different. In a GRC, voters tend to evaluate group of candidates rather than a single individual. If Baey got voted out in Tampines GRC, he needs to thank PAP for introducing the GRC system. If he contests in a SMC, I believe he will win.

Professor Walid lives in Tampines GRC and BYK is his MP. You can refer to his views below:


The GRC system is a double-edged sword.

but it took LTK himself with his A team to take down George Yeo though.. and hearsay that time got fear of 0 oppo if they fail to take aljunied..

I don't dare to vote for David Neo the Commando CoA siah...he got the very fierce look, he look like he going to charge me anytime

I surprised Tampines thread can increase 10 pages by a short time.

Mostly ish make fun of the chao ah beng

David Neo?

 

[Eureka75]

The situation in Tampines GRC today is similar to Aljunied GRC 14 years ago.

GE2011 [Aljunied GRC]
Popular MP: George Yeo
Unpopular MP: Cynthia Phua/Lim Hwee Hua
Newbie: Ong Ye Kung

GE2025 [Tampines GRC]
Popular MP: Baey Yam Keng
Unpopular MP: Masagos/Koh Poh Koon
Newbie: David Neo/Charlene Chen

David Neo look and talk like chao Ah Beng, and Charlene Chen introduce herself with cringey statements, and Masagos and pigu doctor are unpopular so very possible for them to dilute the popularity of Handsome Baey and lost 10KKJ

Baey only controls one of the wards. Not all residents will see his popularity.

Baey used to be my ward previously. He is popular and used whatsapp and video call to connect with us. He tried a lot but there is one fatal flaw, which I THINK he did not have much power, so some stuff like not easy to get done or take very long.

After my ward change to Koh Poh Koon, it seems like more things seems to get settled more easily and smoothly. But maybe is my illusion.

Anyway, I still think if your MP have more power then things can be done more easily.

Thank you residents of Tampines for the enthusiastic welcome!

A big thank you for the words and acts of encouragement, to both the candidates and our family of dedicated volunteers. From 100Plus and liang teh (herbal tea) to fist bumps, handshakes and tooting of car horns, we are truly grateful

i think this chap do not understand why fundamentally the oppo cannot "get things done"

In his haste to "score points", he made himself look like a fool

 

[carey]

this is not the typical scholar general...
He was a Chief of Army from Commando... Commando Occifer!

Even worse - muscle brain is what we call these red berets hahah

 

[dubliner1407]

I always reject generals

 

[carey]

B

Very typical parachuted army guy, the moment he open his mouth sian half already.

Don't know why they insist on getting these people in even in 2025, other than them being yes sir 3 bags full men.

Because the top is weak mah

With these yes men, that's the only way they can "control" them mah

 

[dubliner1407]

I love Eileen zeh zeh deep deep!

 

[Darth_Yang]

Hope tam residents will play ball...

He's quite impressive for a newbie - way better than even some "seasoned" candidates from the incumbent

See how that aunty Phua stumbled over her answer regarding the role of a mayor - really jiak liao bee

Calculate the amount of GST to her she will spend in a year Vs the vouchers she received.

I did that to my wife and mother and they are converted.

But the devil is in the details

The vouchers are only meant to cover the 2% point increase in GST, not the full GST amount

But even then, it's woefully inadequate - every $100, the increase in GST is $2

However, inflation has made everything more expensive - so the value of this "offset" has fallen

This one is confirmed. This round early I already decided only if a minister in the GRC to be my MP for my zone of the GRC then I will support PAP. But my side walk over this time.

 

[carey]

On second thought, then why Gan Siow Huang shout 'Merdeka' then allowed to go into Parliament? I thought less talk more action? I don't see any action from her that is fruitful leh.

If you have been through army, you should know the term "wayang"

These fellas are good at acting in front of superiors but in reality, do the least and leech on the work of others

Yes! GST only increase 2%, but hawker food increased 20-30% (15-25% due to external circumstances, 5% (not 2%) turbocharged inflation attributed to GST)

... and the govt turned a blind eye
