Well, in a rather obscure place much away from the peering public,
had this breakfast with this very well regarded senior journalist/
editor from SPH. Here are the journalist's personal (because this
person is a known rebel amongst the SPH folks) views/opinion and
assessment (not in any particular order). Given that this
journalist has had top level access to a lot of people this is
perhaps not only interesting but has a ring of credibility.
PAP worried that this time they were not returned on nomination
day.
Many are really concerned with the kind of damage that LKY is doing
with his interviews (CNA, Foreign media etc.). A very seasoned
media personality had to tell LHL about this on friday, that LKY
needs to be more subdued. Will the PM tell his Mentor father?
The entire ISD is busy trying to dig up something on Sylvia. WKS is
personally supervising it. They want to destroy her before she
becomes big. There is a big chance that they could have stumbled
something about her. The PAP will use it during the closing
stages.
Actually GCT didnt want to be part of electioneering and wanted to
play a laid back role. He got pitchforked into this to his own
surprise. It sounds like a conspiracy to have him discredited. What
is not clear is whether GCT screwing up by making confusing
statements is intentional or accidental. GCT is not even invited or
even consulted for some of the strategy meetings. He gets his
information from secondary sources. By end of this year, GCT would
be out of the cabinet and sent to Batam to retire or would be
called as Travelling Minister, because he would be constantly made
to travel.
The PAP big guns are going to land up in Aljunied from Tuesday, and
it will see a flurry of activity, threats (both covert and overt).
LKY himself may be seen there, though a section of the PAP dont
want him, because he is pissing off people.
PP may be a close shave, but looks like the odds favour CST,
because of the stupid, contradictory and disparaging statements
made by GCT.
Additional precautions are being taken to prevent outbreak of
rioting, violence, shouting on the streets or stadiums on thursday
and friday. Riot police have been asked to be on standby. They do
expect (or even want) some violence or rioting so that they can
make a few arrests, and put the fear into the hearts of the people.
so, make sure that the AP urge people not to become violent at
their rallies repeatedly.
I think if CST and LTK were to stand on the same stage and speak
the same language, especially at PP, Aljunied and CCK, the PAP
would be pissing in the pants.
PAP actually happy that WP havent aggressively touched the core
issues yet -- Jobs, CPF cuts, HDB window rivet, NKF, cost of living
etc. Their strategy is to keep the WP busy with the Gomes issue, so
that other important issues get less airtime. APs, should just move
on and raise the bigger issues.
