Because I may continue to post GE-related stuff here, I find it necessary to keep them under this new banner from now on, so that readers can skip, if you want to.
1. I've briefly browsed through Worker's Party's manifesto, and did find it comprehensive and professionally done. It covers a wide range of issues and offers what-I-think are good solutions. Of course, the proposed changes will all seem attractive to us, the average Singaporeans. Do access it HERE.
2. Yesterday, Wong KS urged citizens to 'scrutinise' WP's manifesto. Yes, that should be what we ought to do. Likewise, we should do the same for the ruling party, right? WHAT happened during the Mas Selamat's incident, in your Ministry? There weren't any comprehensive reports for us to scrutinise. That aside, how about last year's YOG's secret expenditure numbers? Not revealed as well. And when people scrutinise your young, inexperienced candidates, you termed the criticisms as 'flaming'. Seems rather unfair, in my opinion.
3. Today, the incumbent party's chairman spoke at the press conference, criticising WP's manifesto again. But the only criticism he had, was just where the WP can get the $$ from, if they hope to make the changes. I would think that the money can be easily raised, if each of our Ministers don't get paid so much more than a US President.
4. On another note, the same incumbent party's chairman teared during the press conference, only trying to make a point that there's no "groupthink" in Parliament. My first impression was, he's probably going too far and overdoing it. Yes, I've heard about MPs from the ruling party having different views and raising them during Parliament, but that does not prove anything about not having 'groupthink'. What we're looking at, is a Parliament of 82 versus 2. And sometimes, even Nominated MPs (NMPs) and NCMPs raised more relevant concerns, because of the lack of perspectives in the House.
5. Anyway, to end on a gossipy note, there has been a rumour that WP has yet to reveal yet another 'star catch'. I had thought that Chen Show Mao is already a rare, much-needed gain to the Opposition camp. Then came Benjamin Pwee, an ex-PAP youth wing chairman for Thomson, joining hands with Chiam See Tong. And now fresh rumours that a ex-senior civil servant with credentials that are on par with Chen Show Mao, is likely to be unveiled by WP.
人生是黑白的.
