Why WP don't let Aljunied team

[pattanispirit]

5 old birds to lead other GRC team.

Instead of letting Gerald Giam & Yee Jenn Jong to lead other green birds ?

Just like if 5 yr ago, Low TK never leave Hougang to fight in Aljunied, Aljunied GRC may not be taken.

 

[Redken_04]

There's always a risk with every strategy.

If Low leaves Aljunied & disband the A-team, the worst outcome might be they lose Aljunied & fail to capture a new GRC.

 

[repentance]

It took more than 20 years before LTK left Hougang.

Leaving Aljunied just after 1 term will send the signal to voters that they are just stepping stones. You can't build voters loyalty like that.

risking sia...

 

[wadsad]

leadership renewal???

 

[ThisIsSparta]

15K/mth at risk leh.

[Perseus]

Perhaps they do not want the same precedent set by the incumbent where every GRC has an anchor Minister helming the fort.

Perhaps, they prefer the public to have the confidence in accepting them, just as how they accepted the Aljunied team.

pls rah. LTK is not stupid

if he or any of his team leave Aljunied. what will the people there think?
less than 5 years then wana to zao and conquer other GRC?

he stayed at Hougang for more than 20yrs then he decide to take on a GRC. he do swee swee then leave so alot of hougang people supported his move

15K/mth at risk leh.

who wanna go out.

This, I concur.

 

[slashershot]

warao. u cannot see the strategy meh? the worst case scenario is they still hold 1 GRC leh. imagine if he leave the worst case scenario is he lose every grc. which would you take if your objective is to be heard in parliament?

of cuz la! thats why now we have an opposition. if not like csj liao.

 

[maskingtape]

Same reason as why LHL don't want leave AMK to capture Aljunied.

Honestly, if LHL really leave AMK to go Aljunied, high chance he will win. Pulling down a prime minister is not as easy as pulling down a minister. People will think a lot more deeper, because now they risk a PM not a minister.

As for AMK, it's already a matured estate with pro-PAP people.

 

[lifeisinforashock]

aljunied grc is a steppin stone to other grcs mah.

 

[jamomatt]

They not like Charles Chong or Son of Punggol or Hougang perennial loser.

 

[ArcticCheetah]

All the IBs last min attempt to sway voters unfortunately their masters' self-pwn actions prove a task too difficult to overcome

Explain why Tan Chuan Jin is hiding in a GRC with Lao Goh while Tin Pei Ling is in an SMC?

This GRC system is designed to have an unfair advantage if the group is strong and allows people to get parachuted into parliament.

Fortunately, the downside is exactly its strengths too. When lose, also lose big.

 

[Liquid Snake]

Because the possibility for them to retain the GRC is about 50~55% even if they stayed,
