You sewer rats here must be running all your lives in the drain to forget
that PAP is a legally elected government. You people talk as if that PAP
are in power because of some kind of military coup! Please, 70% of
Singapore put them in power voluntarily. So, stop accusing the PAP of
abusing their power. The power is given by mandate. If PAP is so bad, did
you see anyone protesting on the street like in Hong Kong?

Even if PAP is a supressive government, it is probably you sewer rats
deserved it.

Protests in Sinkapore requires a police permit application. Guess who owns
the Police in Sinkapore?
Difference in HKG versus Sinkapore is that in Sinkapore your have the ISA.
Who dare to protest or organize protest huh? "Public" protest or protests in
public have their prices.... as seen by Tang Liang Hoong, Tan Wah Piow,
etc...
One fine day even sewer rats will rebel and eat your asslicking
system...This newsgroup is a start to let the world knows about the "real"
politics, cronism, nepotism, "legalised" rampage of national treasury, and
legal system abuse to bankrupt the opposition in order to quiet dissent in
SInkapore.

Don't make excuses for yourself, you coward. If you didn't "dare" to
protest, then crawl back to your drain. You are just nothing but a cowardly
rat bitching all day long, defaming the PAP at will, hoping that people will
do the dirty job for you i.e. so-called "rebelling" against the "power".

If you complaint so much about the PAP, put your actions where your mouth
is. See how many will join you. No one as it is just false.

Nelson Mendela didn't even have the chance to apply for permit and he was in
jail. Maybe jail is where you belong so that you can carrying out your
"democratic" & "anti-evil PAP" movement.

Why do you need to go on "protest" on the street illegally and get yourself
into trouble if you could just join the alternative parties legally to prove
your point? ;)

You make no sense at all.

When comments are make against certain PAP policies,this does not mean that
they are supporting the Opposition Party and going against the ruling party.
when certain policies is introduce into the public,only valuable feedback
from them enable to fine tune the system.
By hearing and changes that's how we can move on together as a nation.
We cannot penalize those that disagreed and brand them as Opposition
supporters.
Singapore belong to all Singaporean , each and everyone got the
responsibility to hold own flag flying high.
Men introduce policies may not know how another man run it , man running it
may not know how the people receiving them.If everyone keep quite just
because being afraid branded as Opposition , how can a nation move together
without any suspicions.
Of cause most of us only likes to hear positive comments , everything's
"GOOD".

I think you got it wrong here. What's wrong to be identified as "Opposition"
in the very first place? We are not criminals and we have legitimate
constituitional rights to form our political parties!

It is not a CRIME to be opposition supporters. Even if people are "branded"
as Opposition, it is their constituitional rights to stay as such and
doesn't mean the Nation could not move on. Patriotism is not the sole
exclusive right reserved for PAPists. Opposition parties are also patriotic
to a Nation. PAP doesn't equal to the Nation; opposing PAP doesn't mean
opposing to the Nation! In fact, PAP should set a clear line between itself
and the Nation. PAP is PAP only, Singapore is Singapore. PAP doesn't own
Singapore. Singapore belongs to ALL Singaporeans, not any individual or
groups of people.

When comments are make against certain PAP policies,this does not mean that
they are supporting the Opposition Party and going against the ruling party.
when certain policies is introduce into the public,only valuable feedback
from them enable to fine tune the system.
By hearing and changes that's how we can move on together as a nation.
We cannot penalize those that disagreed and brand them as Opposition
supporters.
Singapore belong to all Singaporean , each and everyone got the
responsibility to hold own flag flying high.
Men introduce policies may not know how another man run it , man running it
may not know how the people receiving them.If everyone keep quite just

The opposition is part of the democratic process since it is an alternative
for those in the electorate
who do not or cannot agree with the policies or dictates of the ruling party
and being in opposition allows for alternative views to be expressed and
to ensure that the ruling party treads with caution in their quest for power
and governance as no single party can claim to have a monopoly of talent and
brains to come up with the correct systems and programmes of government at
each and every turn of events and circumstances.

True enough but it is only for administrative purpose in other places (like

from happening!

Police in SInkapore is not impartial. It takes sides on political issues.

application !

legal system abuse to bankrupt the opposition in order to quiet dissent in

Ardeedee, at this level, without more people to come forward to participate
in opposition politics, how do you expect us to provide "alternatives"? And
this is partly due to the general apathy of the population and PAP's
instilling the FEAR factor.

We are campaigning quietly alright. But at this moment, even though we are
the fast growing and most progressive alternative party right now, we are
not in a position to raise our level of political status yet.

I am in no position to represent other political parties but as far as
Workers' Party is concerned, everyone of us is working very hard right now.
You don't see it or feel it because with our limited resources, our work is
mostly localized.

Even with this localized politics, we are making them panick, nervous and
restless. Imagine that you start to see your MPs or even the anchor minister
walking the ground! MPs waking up early in the Sunday mornings just to sit
there and observe WP members selling Hammer in their turf.

We are not perfect or even strong yet, but with little, bits by bits, we
progress. We understand and know our limitations and weaknesses at this
moment and we are working towards improving it. If you are really interested
to contribute your ideas (from a minority perspective), we have an
alternative forum ready right now for your contributions. But this new forum
(unlike discuss Singapore) is not open to public, mainly to party members
and associates to discuss policy matters. Serious contributions only.

I believe in instituitional building, not just mere political participations
or even going for elections. Most of the politicians in the past (even
present) are more interested to give fiery speeches, raise issues but at the
end of the day, the party mechanism is totally neglected altogether.
Politics to them is all about "ME", themselves. This is why we ended up with
this pathetic state of affairs in alternative political parties, across the
board. Workers' Party is the very first one to realize this problem and
fortunately, we have a strong group of like minded people who are determined
to rebuild Workers' Party right from scratch, so to provide an alternative
political instituition that will outlive our own political lifetime.

Just look at SDP under Chee SJ, the past Workers' Party under JBJ or any
other alternative political parties right now, they are not building up a
strong and reliable instituition to provide Singaporeans the assurance of
having an alternative choice in coming and future elections. Talks of
Democracy is ironically, empty, if you are not prepared to spend your life
and effort to build up a mechanism that could ensure Singaporeans having the
alternative political choices.

Ardeedee, for me, it is just simple as that. No need to talk so much about
Democracy, but make sure we do our part in enhancing and building up the
substance of Democracy. Even though ironically, Democracy itself, may not
sell in Singapore's context, but if we believe in it, we build on it, not
merely talk about it.

I am very confident that there will come a time that Workers Party will be
strong enough to play a bigger role in Singapore politics; but this could
only happen if and only if like minded Singaporeans are WILLING to step
forward to engage in alternative politics. Most people want the "glories" of
standing on the stage and give speeches during election rallies, but
unwilling to contribute and work hard in building up/ strengthening the
party mechanism. It is relatively easy to fill candidates in general
elections of this sort but are we really contributing to process of
Democracy for Singapore by doing so?

Ardeedee, one thing to be sure and I am confident to promise you is that for
the coming elections, we would be fielding candidates that have done their
part on the ground, not just any dom dick or harry that walk in last minute
to sort candidacy. This may sound "insignificant" to you but for us, it is a
great step forward. For the first time in decades, Workers Party would be
able to field many candidates that have worked hard on the ground and these
candidates have their own "following" of party helpers who have followed
them throughout the process of working on the ground! WE want to field
people with dedications and passions that have been proven by their
consistency in working on the ground for a long period of time, not just
anyone that come by and knock on our doors. After having saying that, we
still need more injections of people to either to become a potential
candidate or party helpers that could support the ground activities carried
out by the present slate of candidates.

I have asked for helpers to join me in my ground work, but it seems that
nobody is interested at all. Neverthless, I carry on my ground work with
whatever resources I have and I am satisfied by the positive responses I get
from the ground. Talk is easy, but when it comes to the crunch of making
commitments and dedicate yourselves to consistent ground work, it will
differentiate those serious dedicated, passionate people from "mere
talkers".

strong and reliable instituition to provide Singaporeans the assurance

Democracy is ironically, empty, if you are not prepared to spend your

the

Ardeedee, for me, it is just simple as that. No need to talk so much
about
Post by Lau Niu

Democracy, but make sure we do our part in enhancing and building up the
substance of Democracy. Even though ironically, Democracy itself, may
not

not

I am very confident that there will come a time that Workers Party
will
Post by ardeedee

Post by Goh Meng Seng
strong enough to play a bigger role in Singapore politics; but this
could
Post by Lau Niu

unwilling to contribute and work hard in building up/ strengthening the
party mechanism. It is relatively easy to fill candidates in general
elections of this sort but are we really contributing to process of
Democracy for Singapore by doing so?
Ardeedee, one thing to be sure and I am confident to promise you is that
for
Post by Goh Meng Seng
the coming elections, we would be fielding candidates that have done
their
Post by Lau Niu
Post by Goh Meng Seng
part on the ground, not just any dom dick or harry that walk in last

is
Post by Lau Niu
a

great step forward. For the first time in decades, Workers Party would
be
Post by Lau Niu
Post by Goh Meng Seng
able to field many candidates that have worked hard on the ground and
these
Post by Goh Meng Seng
candidates have their own "following" of party helpers who have followed
them throughout the process of working on the ground! WE want to field
people with dedications and passions that have been proven by their

anyone that come by and knock on our doors. After having saying that, we
still need more injections of people to either to become a potential
candidate or party helpers that could support the ground activities
carried

out by the present slate of candidates.
I have asked for helpers to join me in my ground work, but it seems that
nobody is interested at all. Neverthless, I carry on my ground work with
whatever resources I have and I am satisfied by the positive responses I
get

I am not sure if this so called "fear" you alledged that PAP instilled, is
greater than the Chinese communists that crashed their own citizens with PLA
tanks in 1989 has displayed. In spite of this real and physical fear,
500,000 Hong Konger marched in the street for their won freedom. Aren't
they afraid of the PLA's tanks? This is what I called real fear.

If Singaporeans feel that they are surpressed by a ruthless government, then
we should see some freedom march. It would be riduculous to see a
population being surpressed for 30 years doing nothing, while continue to
vote the surpressors into power. This make no sense unless they feel that
they are not being surpressed at all.

The WP is not some new party. It was a strong one and a old party founded
in the 60s and some of WP old guards were actually from the governing party
before resigning and walking out of parliament like some spoiled brats. WP
had the same clout as PAP in the 60s. So, blaming the PAP for your own
party's failure to attract new blood is lame. No one wants to join WP or
other opposition to stand against the PAP, simply because no one share WP's
platform or the platforms from rest of the opposition. If your people can't
outwit the PAP, that's your short-coming.

I am not sure if this so called "fear" you alledged that PAP instilled, is
greater than the Chinese communists that crashed their own citizens with PLA
tanks in 1989 has displayed. In spite of this real and physical fear,
500,000 Hong Konger marched in the street for their won freedom. Aren't
they afraid of the PLA's tanks? This is what I called real fear.
How much do you understand Hongkongers? You say they are not "fearful"? Do
you know that those so called "avant gaurde" of free speech in Hong Kong
actually quit their jobs in radio stations after they feel "intimidated" by
some shadowy figures and events?

Don't talk rubbish. the 1989 Tian An Men incident happened in Beijing, not
Hong Kong. If it happens in Hong Kong, or even Shenzhen, Hong Kong would be
empty right now! In fact, many Hong Kongers are prepared to migrate and "run
for their lives" after the 1989 incident!

500,000 Hong Kongers could march in the street basically because the Hong
Kong government also respect the freedom of expressions! Hong Kong
government will not deter any groups of demonstrating and expressing their
political views through technical manoveurs! PAP government should feel
ashame of themselves in comparisons! Hong Kong is ruled by Hong Kong
government, not CCP! In fact, Hong Kong government has a whole range of
subsidies and support to encourage political participations! Even if you are
not "pro-government", as long as you stand for elections, be it localized
Council Elections or Legislative Council elections, you would be subsidized!
Your postage of election materials would be all paid for. If you get
elected, the government will pay for the rent of your political office! The
government will also subsidize the operations of your MP office! Look at us!
Our opposition MPs don't even have a decent place to serve their residents!

Although Hong Kong ministers and Chief Executive are not being elected
directly by Hong Kongers, but their progressive political outlook and
pro-democracy, pro-freedom of speech and expressions are far beyond PAP's
imaginations!

If Singaporeans feel that they are surpressed by a ruthless government, then
we should see some freedom march. It would be riduculous to see a
population being surpressed for 30 years doing nothing, while continue to
vote the surpressors into power. This make no sense unless they feel that
they are not being surpressed at all.
Hahaha, that's the irony of it. The Fear is very much alive in some sectors
of Singapore. There are still people who are afraid of buying our
publication Hammer because, according to them, they will get into trouble
with the police! I said to them, if the police want to be difficult, I would
be the one who get into trouble first! ;)

However, don't underestimate Singaporeans. There are more and more
Singaporeans who are willing to show their support openly to Workers Party
when we walk the ground.

Fortunately or unfortunately, PAP has been able to manage the "suppression"
well. This is due to the fact that Singapore has been able to maximize
economic welfare with the opporunities provided by various developments in
the region in the past (Vietnam War, Cold War, relative under developments
of the region...etc As contrary to what PAP claims to their credits) But
time has changed. The region dynamics has changed. Global political focus by
the US has changed. And it is not surprising that PAP is unable to keep
their monopolies of power intact due to the lost of economic opportunities
available due to these changes in the region.

We are campaigning quietly alright. But at this moment, even though we are
the fast growing and most progressive alternative party right now, we are
not in a position to raise our level of political status yet.
I am in no position to represent other political parties but as far as
Workers' Party is concerned, everyone of us is working very hard right now.
You don't see it or feel it because with our limited resources, our work is
mostly localized.
Even with this localized politics, we are making them panick, nervous and
restless. Imagine that you start to see your MPs or even the anchor minister
walking the ground! MPs waking up early in the Sunday mornings just to sit
there and observe WP members selling Hammer in their turf.
We are not perfect or even strong yet, but with little, bits by bits, we
progress. We understand and know our limitations and weaknesses at this
moment and we are working towards improving it. If you are really interested
to contribute your ideas (from a minority perspective), we have an
alternative forum ready right now for your contributions. But this new forum
(unlike discuss Singapore) is not open to public, mainly to party members
and associates to discuss policy matters. Serious contributions only.
I believe in instituitional building, not just mere political
participations
Post by Goh Meng Seng
or even going for elections. Most of the politicians in the past (even
present) are more interested to give fiery speeches, raise issues but at the
end of the day, the party mechanism is totally neglected altogether.
Politics to them is all about "ME", themselves. This is why we ended up with
this pathetic state of affairs in alternative political parties, across the
board. Workers' Party is the very first one to realize this problem and
fortunately, we have a strong group of like minded people who are determined
to rebuild Workers' Party right from scratch, so to provide an alternative
political instituition that will outlive our own political lifetime.
Just look at SDP under Chee SJ, the past Workers' Party under JBJ or any
other alternative political parties right now, they are not building up a
strong and reliable instituition to provide Singaporeans the assurance of
having an alternative choice in coming and future elections. Talks of
Democracy is ironically, empty, if you are not prepared to spend your life
and effort to build up a mechanism that could ensure Singaporeans having the
alternative political choices.
Ardeedee, for me, it is just simple as that. No need to talk so much about
Democracy, but make sure we do our part in enhancing and building up the
substance of Democracy. Even though ironically, Democracy itself, may not
sell in Singapore's context, but if we believe in it, we build on it, not
merely talk about it.
I am very confident that there will come a time that Workers Party will be
strong enough to play a bigger role in Singapore politics; but this could
only happen if and only if like minded Singaporeans are WILLING to step
forward to engage in alternative politics. Most people want the "glories" of
standing on the stage and give speeches during election rallies, but
unwilling to contribute and work hard in building up/ strengthening the
party mechanism. It is relatively easy to fill candidates in general
elections of this sort but are we really contributing to process of
Democracy for Singapore by doing so?
Ardeedee, one thing to be sure and I am confident to promise you is that for
the coming elections, we would be fielding candidates that have done their
part on the ground, not just any dom dick or harry that walk in last minute
to sort candidacy. This may sound "insignificant" to you but for us, it is a
great step forward. For the first time in decades, Workers Party would be
able to field many candidates that have worked hard on the ground and these
candidates have their own "following" of party helpers who have followed
them throughout the process of working on the ground! WE want to field
people with dedications and passions that have been proven by their
consistency in working on the ground for a long period of time, not just
anyone that come by and knock on our doors. After having saying that, we
still need more injections of people to either to become a potential
candidate or party helpers that could support the ground activities carried
out by the present slate of candidates.
I have asked for helpers to join me in my ground work, but it seems that
nobody is interested at all. Neverthless, I carry on my ground work with
whatever resources I have and I am satisfied by the positive responses I get
from the ground. Talk is easy, but when it comes to the crunch of making
commitments and dedicate yourselves to consistent ground work, it will
differentiate those serious dedicated, passionate people from "mere
talkers".

candidate puts his face forward also by working the ground too early the PAP

Strategically, PAP cannot do anything if the GRC is not being contested for
the past 15 years! PAP could only redraw the boundaries with statistics of
voting patterns revealed in precinct counting of votes in the past election.
For most GRCs, they lack such datas, that is why they are nervous right now.
GRC like ChengSan disappeared overnight because they know the voting
patterns from the 1997 election, where JBJ lost by a small margin. So, they
thought they could "RECONFIGURE" and absolve it into three or four other
constituencies like Aljunied, Ang Mo Kio and Pasir Ris GRCs.

Thus, letting them know about us working on the ground of those historically
uncontested GRCs will not give them much advantage in redrawing the
boundaries....they don't have the most recent data to do it! ;)

But I guess, the PAP guys are thinking of using the coming Presidential
Election to test the ground and collect datas on the voting pattern of
various GRCs. Thus, I urge, for strategic purpose, vote the PAP man in the
coming Presidential Election just to skew or deprive such data collections.

Ardeedee, we will do whatever things positive under our control. We cannot
wait for things to happen. Attacking the ground of GRC have many fringe
benefits. In the process, we recruit alot of new blood and followers who
share the same vision and willing to walk with us. Working as a team, it
increases the synergies among party members, building up a strong
comaradeship. And we need these people when the elections come. For every
candidate, we need at least five helpers or troopers behind him/her.

Loosing the election is not something that I fear. What happens to the party
after such lost battles are more worrying. If we were to build a stable and
strong instituition, we must make sure that we could keep the team spirit
intact even if we lost the election. I could tell you that many opposition
parties suffered badly internally after loosing the elections. Those people
who stand and lost will blame each other for the lost. Many just quit, some
just put their names in CECs for show....etc etc. This is due to the fact
that team building is a non-existence prior to the elections.

We would be successful if we could keep our team synergy and spirit intact
even if we lost the elections. The type of commitment we are looking for is
not merely for the coming elections, but most probably a minimum of 15 years
of political commitment.

Single ward constituency in the midst of GRC structure, to me, is a big
poison to the progress of Alternative politics. SMC is a "killing field"
specially crafted out by PAP. There is no need to waste time in fighting for
SMC seats. PAP wanted to divert opposition efforts into SMC so that they
could win all except two of the SMC wards. SMCs are easily manipulated by
boundary redrawing exercise; the fact is that they have used this strategy
quite successfully for the past elections; we should not fall into this
trap! For those SMC which suffers close fights, they will absorb it into
GRC, or certain "antiPAP" sectors being drawn into nearby GRCs. You can
never win in SMC unless you are already the incumbants.

When Workers Party refocus its attention towards GRC, it got PAP nervous.
That's where the real battle will be. GRCs have grown into such a big entity
nowadays that there are pretty few rooms for them to play around with.
Whatever "anti-PAP" sectors have been absorbed into GRCs. Imagine that if we
are going to fight in these GRCs which have over the decades, absorbing
unfavourable precincts into their groups, won't they be nervous? ;)

What does Ardeedee know about politic ? His outdated idea won't work.
The genuine politician will work the ground even if they are going to
lost the election. There are already complaint that opposition only
come out during election. So opposition has to work the ground early.

will, change boundaries at the last minute to fend off weak areas.
Strategically, PAP cannot do anything if the GRC is not being contested for
the past 15 years! PAP could only redraw the boundaries with statistics of
voting patterns revealed in precinct counting of votes in the past election.
For most GRCs, they lack such datas, that is why they are nervous right now.
GRC like ChengSan disappeared overnight because they know the voting
patterns from the 1997 election, where JBJ lost by a small margin. So, they
thought they could "RECONFIGURE" and absolve it into three or four other
constituencies like Aljunied, Ang Mo Kio and Pasir Ris GRCs.
Thus, letting them know about us working on the ground of those historically
uncontested GRCs will not give them much advantage in redrawing the
boundaries....they don't have the most recent data to do it! ;)
But I guess, the PAP guys are thinking of using the coming Presidential
Election to test the ground and collect datas on the voting pattern of
various GRCs. Thus, I urge, for strategic purpose, vote the PAP man in the
coming Presidential Election just to skew or deprive such data
collections.

You are talking about Braddel being redrawn into Marine Parade. That's my
point. SMC (Single Ward) is a poison. It could be redrawn into GRC. But
could one GRC being redrawn into another GRC? Chengsan was split and redrawn
into three GRCs! But with the present status, it is impossible for them to
redraw a huge GRC consisting 5 to 6 seats into other GRCs; due to the mere
sizes. Even if they do, there is no guarantee that they will not lose. ;)

GRC like ChengSan disappeared overnight because they know the voting

Thus, letting them know about us working on the ground of those

But I guess, the PAP guys are thinking of using the coming

collections.

Ardeedee, we will do whatever things positive under our control. We
cannot

wait for things to happen. Attacking the ground of GRC have many
fringe

benefits. In the process, we recruit alot of new blood and followers
who
Post by Goh Meng Seng
Post by ardeedee
Post by Goh Meng Seng
share the same vision and willing to walk with us. Working as a
team,
Post by ardeedee
it
Post by Goh Meng Seng

Post by Goh Meng Seng
increases the synergies among party members, building up a strong
comaradeship. And we need these people when the elections come. For
every
Post by ardeedee
Post by Goh Meng Seng
candidate, we need at least five helpers or troopers behind him/her.
Loosing the election is not something that I fear. What happens to the
party
Post by Goh Meng Seng
after such lost battles are more worrying. If we were to build a
stable

Post by ardeedee
and
Post by Goh Meng Seng
strong instituition, we must make sure that we could keep the team
spirit

Post by Goh Meng Seng
intact even if we lost the election. I could tell you that many
opposition
Post by ardeedee
Post by Goh Meng Seng
parties suffered badly internally after loosing the elections. Those
people
Post by Goh Meng Seng
who stand and lost will blame each other for the lost. Many just quit,
some
Post by Goh Meng Seng
just put their names in CECs for show....etc etc. This is due to the
fact

Post by Goh Meng Seng
that team building is a non-existence prior to the elections.
We would be successful if we could keep our team synergy and spirit
intact

even if we lost the elections. The type of commitment we are looking
for

is

not merely for the coming elections, but most probably a minimum of 15

of political commitment.

fighting

for

can

Think about it!
Post by Goh Meng Seng
Ardeedee, at this level, without more people to come forward to participate
in opposition politics, how do you expect us to provide "alternatives"? And
this is partly due to the general apathy of the population and PAP's
instilling the FEAR factor.
We are campaigning quietly alright. But at this moment, even though we are
the fast growing and most progressive alternative party right now, we are
not in a position to raise our level of political status yet.
I am in no position to represent other political parties but as far as
Workers' Party is concerned, everyone of us is working very hard right now.
You don't see it or feel it because with our limited resources, our work is
mostly localized.
Even with this localized politics, we are making them panick, nervous and
restless. Imagine that you start to see your MPs or even the anchor minister
walking the ground! MPs waking up early in the Sunday mornings just to sit
there and observe WP members selling Hammer in their turf.
We are not perfect or even strong yet, but with little, bits by bits, we
progress. We understand and know our limitations and weaknesses at this
moment and we are working towards improving it. If you are really interested
to contribute your ideas (from a minority perspective), we have an
alternative forum ready right now for your contributions. But this new forum
(unlike discuss Singapore) is not open to public, mainly to party members
and associates to discuss policy matters. Serious contributions only.
I believe in instituitional building, not just mere political participations
or even going for elections. Most of the politicians in the past (even
present) are more interested to give fiery speeches, raise issues but at the
end of the day, the party mechanism is totally neglected altogether.
Politics to them is all about "ME", themselves. This is why we ended up with
this pathetic state of affairs in alternative political parties, across the
board. Workers' Party is the very first one to realize this problem and
fortunately, we have a strong group of like minded people who are determined
to rebuild Workers' Party right from scratch, so to provide an alternative
political instituition that will outlive our own political lifetime.
Just look at SDP under Chee SJ, the past Workers' Party under JBJ or any
other alternative political parties right now, they are not building up a
strong and reliable instituition to provide Singaporeans the assurance of
having an alternative choice in coming and future elections. Talks of
Democracy is ironically, empty, if you are not prepared to spend your life
and effort to build up a mechanism that could ensure Singaporeans having the
alternative political choices.
Ardeedee, for me, it is just simple as that. No need to talk so much about
Democracy, but make sure we do our part in enhancing and building up the
substance of Democracy. Even though ironically, Democracy itself, may not
sell in Singapore's context, but if we believe in it, we build on it, not
merely talk about it.
I am very confident that there will come a time that Workers Party will be
strong enough to play a bigger role in Singapore politics; but this could
only happen if and only if like minded Singaporeans are WILLING to step
forward to engage in alternative politics. Most people want the "glories" of
standing on the stage and give speeches during election rallies, but
unwilling to contribute and work hard in building up/ strengthening the
party mechanism. It is relatively easy to fill candidates in general
elections of this sort but are we really contributing to process of
Democracy for Singapore by doing so?
Ardeedee, one thing to be sure and I am confident to promise you is that for
the coming elections, we would be fielding candidates that have done their
part on the ground, not just any dom dick or harry that walk in last minute
to sort candidacy. This may sound "insignificant" to you but for us, it is a
great step forward. For the first time in decades, Workers Party would be
able to field many candidates that have worked hard on the ground and these
candidates have their own "following" of party helpers who have followed
them throughout the process of working on the ground! WE want to field
people with dedications and passions that have been proven by their
consistency in working on the ground for a long period of time, not just
anyone that come by and knock on our doors. After having saying that, we
still need more injections of people to either to become a potential
candidate or party helpers that could support the ground activities carried
out by the present slate of candidates.
I have asked for helpers to join me in my ground work, but it seems that
nobody is interested at all. Neverthless, I carry on my ground work with
whatever resources I have and I am satisfied by the positive responses I get
from the ground. Talk is easy, but when it comes to the crunch of making
commitments and dedicate yourselves to consistent ground work, it will
differentiate those serious dedicated, passionate people from "mere
talkers".

Dear Turtle Soup,


First of all, I must thank you for your support. And rest assure that there
are many people out there spontaneously expressing their support to us
during our walkabout. We will have a good fight this time round, no doubt
about that. Imagine that residents are expressing their support to us,
openly demonstrating their resentment right in front of their MP by buying
our Hammer and shaking hands with us, the ground is growing sour for PAP.
PAP got 75% of the votes cast during last election basically due to the
"shock" effects of 911. They hope to see PAP improving their lives but
instead, PAP broke their promises, one after another. They talked about
"Jobs, Jobs, Jobs" during last election, but in the end, PAP has to talk
about "Jobless recovery"! They talked about restoring the CPF contributions,
but instead, they cut the CPF further!

Singaporeans are getting restless and frustrated. Even if there is another
911, they will no longer put their trust on PAP to deliver any election
promises any more. You could only break your promises once, not twice.

For all I care, is the political development of this country. There will
always be opportunists and fools around, but let it be; that's what makes a
society interesting. ;) As long as I keep my visions and objective clear, I
have no regrets in putting at least 15 years of my life in this. Sometimes,
it is not the outcome that matters most, but rather, the process and
experiences that one gets out of engagement that matters.

We believe in Democracy in its substance, not merely talks. We put our life
on what we believe, to develop the substance of Democracy. No regrets even
if I don't win any elections in my lifetime; at least I am already making
PAP MPs work hard for their constituents and not leave them in neglect.
Whether Singaporeans appreciate this, doesn't really matters. I have my FUN
and satisfactions from it. ;)

At least we have agitated PAP enough for them to hate us for what we are
doing...making them sweat, nervous and work for their positions as people's
representatives!

This is TRUE foundation of Democracy to me. ;)

"Strong mandate" with less than half of Singaporeans voting? You must be

If you really want to see how "strong" PAP's mandate is, PAP recommend its

its candidate from loosing the Presidential Election! hahahaha... I throw

The fact is that PAP will not take this challenge up basically because they
know they may not have the "strong mandate" as they claim they have! The
first Presidential election conducted reflects this "TRUTH" and demolish the
"MYTH" about this "strong mandate" thing. A relatively "unknown" civil
servant that didn't even campaign for the Presidential election could get so
many votes (more than 40%!). Well, that was in 1993! You call that a strong
mandate? I think if you put any donkey to compete with PAP's man in
Presidential Election, he will get at least 40%! That's how strong the
"strong mandate" is all about! And not surprisingly, PAP no longer wants to
expose their weakness by providing "challenge" to their own people.

I always like to use the example of Vietnam war.

The Americans had all the most expensive and advanced weapons, but they
lost, why? The Vietcongs used the most primitive methods of digging tunnels
from North Vietnam all the way to Saigon!

We do not have the mass media on our side. We do not have the whole govt

There are pros and cons of having a smaller GRCs. But on the ideological
front, I would prefer smaller GRCs, not because it makes life easier for us
(actually, it may make life difficult for us also...), but it would have
allowed more minority candidates to be represented in Parliament... it will
represent the real percentile of minorities in our population; 25% in all.
It would mean one out of four MPs would be from the minority races.

Having smaller GRCs may mean that PAP would be restricted to the use of "law
of large numbers". But on the other hand, they may not risk loosing minister
calibre people in the event that they really lost a large GRC.

For the opposition, smaller GRCs may look good but in fact, it is even
harder for the opposition to capitalize on this because generally speaking,
it is harder for opposition to find minority candidates. Thus, for example,
now if I could find one minority candidate, I could possibly win 5 or 6
seats one shot! Reducing the size of the GRC will mean that I will have to
find two minority candidates inorder to achieve the same win....the leverage
is lower and it may hinder our progress if we could not attract more
minority candidates.

Thus, to me, either large or smaller GRCs, there are advantages and
disadvantages. But theoretically speaking, if you are talking about
preserving the spirit of minority representation as the initial proposal of
GRC set out to achieve, it should stay at 4 member GRCs.

To the PAP, we have observed that the reason for them to implement 5 or 6
member GRC is to faciliate the workloads to be shared by the MPs when the
minister is busy.

For tactical reasons, I am happy that PAP keeps the GRC size at 5 or 6; I
would be even more happy if they increase it! ;)

Opposition can't even win in many single seat constituency
how are you going to win bigger GRC lead by a minister?
If all GRC can have only three in one GRC, then
ruling party will have the same problem in looking for minorities,
so, they will have to have more single seat constituencies.
The small GRC has become history, with 6 in one GRC,
ruling party need only 15 ministers to lead all GRCs.

There are pros and cons of having a smaller GRCs. But on the ideological
front, I would prefer smaller GRCs, not because it makes life easier for us
(actually, it may make life difficult for us also...), but it would have
allowed more minority candidates to be represented in Parliament... it will
represent the real percentile of minorities in our population; 25% in all.
It would mean one out of four MPs would be from the minority races.
Having smaller GRCs may mean that PAP would be restricted to the use of "law
of large numbers". But on the other hand, they may not risk loosing minister
calibre people in the event that they really lost a large GRC.
For the opposition, smaller GRCs may look good but in fact, it is even
harder for the opposition to capitalize on this because generally speaking,
it is harder for opposition to find minority candidates. Thus, for example,
now if I could find one minority candidate, I could possibly win 5 or 6
seats one shot! Reducing the size of the GRC will mean that I will have to
find two minority candidates inorder to achieve the same win....the leverage
is lower and it may hinder our progress if we could not attract more
minority candidates.
Thus, to me, either large or smaller GRCs, there are advantages and
disadvantages. But theoretically speaking, if you are talking about
preserving the spirit of minority representation as the initial proposal of
GRC set out to achieve, it should stay at 4 member GRCs.
To the PAP, we have observed that the reason for them to implement 5 or 6
member GRC is to faciliate the workloads to be shared by the MPs when the
minister is busy.
For tactical reasons, I am happy that PAP keeps the GRC size at 5 or 6; I
would be even more happy if they increase it! ;)

Yes, you are expert in masturbate but
you will have no more tool for masturbate.
learn how to masturbate from "leader" like you?
You might as well have 4 GRCs only.
Three candidates means PAP cannot have so many ministers
to lead the GRC and the chances will be better for the opposition.
Three was the original proposal for GRC,
Opposition may not have so much resources or even enough
candidates to stand for the GRC.
You can't even win in small GRC, talking about big GRC.

Only the senior member in the GRCs and those in single constituency
are really elected,
the rest of the MPs in the GRCs are selected.
If PAP is really wanted to look after the minority,
they should have max of 3 in a GRC.

Opposition can't even win in many single seat constituency
how are you going to win bigger GRC lead by a minister?
If all GRC can have only three in one GRC, then
ruling party will have the same problem in looking for minorities,
so, they will have to have more single seat constituencies.
The small GRC has become history, with 6 in one GRC,
ruling party need only 15 ministers to lead all GRCs.
opposition will be difficult to win any of the GRC.
This is a misconception! Opposition of course cannot win in single seat
constituency for the fact that these wards are carefully crafted out with
statistical studies on past voting datas, so to make sure that opposition
will never win! For example, after SDP won Yishun Central, they knew the
voting patterns of the voters. For the following election, they cut away
those blocks in the precinct that voted for SDP; thus PAP won back the seat.
Even if you win this time, they will make sure you lose next time...so,
what's the point?

The fact is, on the strategic point of view, it is just silly to walk
straight into the enemy's killing field. You will be destined to loose.

People tend to think that it is difficult to win GRC; the fact is that JBJ
with Tang Liang Hong nearly won in Eunos. Francis Seow with Lee Shou Zhu
nearly won in Eunos. The myth about ministers will not loose is quite silly.
Mah Boh Tan lost to Chiam See Tong even when he was "endorsed" to be
minister calibre! If you ask Mah to go back to Potong Pasir, do you think he
will win?

Ministers are varied in their performances and some ministers are more
likeable than the others. It is about time to destroy the myth that
ministers will always win.

On the contrary, some GRCs have not been contested for decades. This will
put pressures on PAP and provide a good element of surprise to PAP. They
will be complacent off election time; many people hardly see their MPs off
election time; they don't even see them in parliament most of the time! Such
complacency by PAP MPs is a very good advantage to us. It is not difficult
to win these GRCs, even though it is led by a minister.

Opposition will be better in single constituency,
otherwise, the ruling party will not create so many GRCs.

Do you think putting Chiam and Low Thia Kiang together will be able
to make it in a GRC in the next election ?
Or Chiam and Low can lead one GRC each?
How many JBJ, Tang Liang Hong, Francis Seow
and Lee Shou Zhu are there?
BTW, all of them will not be available.
So who else? Steve Chia ?
There are no more well known opposition personalities.

I won't be surprise if they send two ministers to take on Chiam and Low
in the next election, now that there are so many ministers.
Don't be too sure that Chiam and Low can win.

Hahaha....that's the perception they want you and I to have! In fact, their
real fear is for opposition to provide real threat in GRC! Many people
thought that GRC is difficult to tackle, but it is not at all. If GRC is so
effective, they must well put up all GRCs instead! No need to put up single
SMCs what! The fact that they put up SMC is to lure opposition into the
killing field. By doing so, they could make opposition forever weak. SMCs
will divide the opposition parties externally as well as internally.
Different parties will fight for the limited SMCs even before nomination
day! Individuals in opposition parties will become "selfish" and fight for
SMC fieldings. It prevent opposition to develop synergies and team spirit!

Thus, SMCs are the main poisons. Those with political wisdom will see

First of all, it is not as easy as ABC. We don't just "configure" people

It will of course make a big difference if Chiam and Low are to form one GRC
team; it will become the battle of the new century. But I don't think they
would come together to form one GRC due to ideological differences.
Post by Lau Niu

You know what, that's what PAP is afraid of! The logical thing to do is to
redraw Hougang and Potong Pasir into other GRCs, inorder to kill them off.
But why aren't they doing it? PAP has never been bothered with "bad
publicity" afterall!

The real reasons are that they are afraid of Chiam and Low walking out of
Potong Pasir and Hougang! They will have a big headache if both of them walk
out of their turfs! Chiam will not abandon Potong Pasir as long as it is not
being drawn into a GRC. Chiam is very much contented with his little turf.
Although Workers Party value Hougang very much as a springboard and a home
base that could provide us logistic and political support, but we are
mentally prepared to loose everything. If PAP forces us to choose the
inevitable choice, then be it. We will show hand.

Let's not talk about Joo Chiat, Macpherson and Ayer Rajar

Result of single seat constituencies contested
by better opposition parties are as follows:
Hougang 80% WP
Potong Pasir 52% SDA
Chua Chu Kang 35% SDA
Nee Soon East 26% WP
Nee Soon Central 21% SDP

And GRCs
Hong Kah GRC 20% SDP
Jln Basar GRC 25% SDA
Jurong GRC 20% SDP
Tampines GRC 26% SDA

The results of single seat constituencies are better than
that of GRCs contested by opposition parties.
WP did not even contest in any GRC

By the way, PAP is not going to give you more single-seat-constituencies.

The election results in 2001 is pretty skewed, due to three factors:

1) 911 incident
2) NSS handouts
3) Chee Soon Juan's shouting incident

You should study past datas instead to get a better idea of the "FUNDAMENTAL
WEAKNESS" of GRC. It might just be a blessing in disguise that Aljunied GRC
was not contested last elections, so that they are deprived of the necessary
datas to manipulate boundaries. This to me, is "God's will".

Of course, through GRC, PAP is playing the game of "large numbers". But if
the tide is against you, there is no amount of large numbers that could save
you from drowning. The theory of large numbers could only work well if the
players have full knowledge of distributions of votes (data) in the very
first place. But when a GRC is deprived of election for decades and it keeps
absorbing "dangerous" sectors from other wards or GRC, it will become a very
very dangerous game for PAP. ;)

If SMC is a killing field,
Chiam and Low will not be here.
Chiam and Low won their seats in the infancy of the GRC cum SMC system.
As

have said, they could have gotten rid of them by redrawing the boundaries,
but they didn't, for fear of them leading GRC teams.

Ho Peng Kee nearly lost in SMC
That's not true. Ho Peng Kee got over 70% of votes; Dr. Poh only got 26%

Steve Chia almost captured SMC.
That's a myth also. Steve Chia got only 36% of the votes.
Steve Chia got the highest % vote among
the seats contested by opposition

Be realistic, opposition is still not strong enough
to beat the big GRCs lead by ministers.
This is a myth too. Do you know that WP's team got over 47% of votes in
Eunos GRC back in 1991, even without Francis Seow? Minister, so what?
There were no minister from PAP but WP still have Lee Siew Choh.
Can you wake him up?
PAP 45,833
Chew Heng Ching
Charles Chong You Fook
Sidek B Saniff

There is no strong opposition to lead election in GRC.
That's the perception people have right now.

You said different parties will fight for the limited SMCs
that is the problem of opposition and not the system.
What I am saying is that the GRC with SMC system is designed in such a way
that has calculated such happenings. Only fools will fall for such traps.
When PAP designs a system, they take everything into considerations,
including human elements. They are quite happy to learn that most
opposition
Post by Goh Meng Seng
parties fall for such traps, but hated WP for hitting hard on their hollow
myths. It will be a watershed for the coming election.
Let's not talk about Joo Chiat, Macpherson and Ayer Rajar
that were contested by Ind and DPP in 2001 GE.
Result of single seat constituencies contested
Hougang 80% WP
Potong Pasir 52% SDA
Chua Chu Kang 35% SDA
Nee Soon East 26% WP
Nee Soon Central 21% SDP
And GRCs
Hong Kah GRC 20% SDP
Jln Basar GRC 25% SDA
Jurong GRC 20% SDP
Tampines GRC 26% SDA
The results of single seat constituencies are better than
that of GRCs contested by opposition parties.
WP did not even contest in any GRC
By the way, PAP is not going to give you more single-seat-constituencies.
So no point argue over this issue.

You can give all the reasons as if there were no other incidents
in the earlier election. Anyway, they will not give opposition
more single seat constituencies or three-seats GRC.
So no point arguing.
Post by Goh Meng Seng
1) 911 incident
2) NSS handouts
3) Chee Soon Juan's shouting incident
You should study past datas instead to get a better idea of the "FUNDAMENTAL
WEAKNESS" of GRC. It might just be a blessing in disguise that Aljunied GRC
was not contested last elections, so that they are deprived of the necessary
datas to manipulate boundaries. This to me, is "God's will".
Of course, through GRC, PAP is playing the game of "large numbers". But if
the tide is against you, there is no amount of large numbers that could save
you from drowning. The theory of large numbers could only work well if the
players have full knowledge of distributions of votes (data) in the very
first place. But when a GRC is deprived of election for decades and it keeps
absorbing "dangerous" sectors from other wards or GRC, it will become a very
very dangerous game for PAP. ;)

You sewer rats here must be running all your lives in the drain to forget
that PAP is a legally elected government. You people talk as if that PAP
are in power because of some kind of military coup! Please, 70% of
Singapore put them in power voluntarily. So, stop accusing the PAP of
abusing their power. The power is given by mandate. If PAP is so bad, did
you see anyone protesting on the street like in Hong Kong?
Even if PAP is a supressive government, it is probably you sewer rats
deserved it.
