There is one former Malay PAP MP at HOng Kah GRC, is he a a good guy? He commited CBT

Mat Toro SG

since he did, he is not a good guy, thats why he is out.

will4 SG

At least the ruling party prosecute corrupt members.

Mat Toro SG

yes, you are right. And WP never disciplined Gomez for fraud. Tells us a lot about them doesn't it?

If I were Low Thia Kiang, I would disciplne Gomez and made it public. Low didn't have the moral courage to do it and thereby missed an opportunity to strengthen the opposition. This tells me he could have foreknowledge of the scam.

will4 SG

I cannot imagine having this kind of people chosen into the parliament.

Rock^Star SG

Genuine mistake by Gomez. Look at Gan Kim Yong. People are only human.

I know what Gomez will do.
He will be the same as the anti govt forumners here.
He will play on emotions, not necessarily logic and stall debates.

duotiga83 SG

how sure are you? do you know him just by looking at this saga? Rolling Eyes 1st impression counts but that doesn't imply your character......is thru intereaction & conversation, communication where you get to knw ppl better, not just 1st look

Hey remember the super elitist statements made by Mr Wee of PAP?

He is a perfect example of the selfish and ignorant by-product of our elitist nation. I shudder to think that maybe everyone in PAP is like that.

Care for the people? I think it's more of care for PAP's pockets.

Mat Toro SG

I knew him in NUS. He got whacked by the hostels and faculties for his dubious ways. They were so angry with him that they kicked him out as president.
I am really disapointed that he never changed.

duotiga83 SG

nw you began to talk some sense...but according to your very own wikipedia...how come he can...

Gomez graduated with an Honours Degree in Political Science from the National University of Singapore in 1992, and subsequently completed his M.A. in political science from the University of Essex, England in 1994. Upon arriving in Singapore he occasionally contributed book reviews that appeared in the Straits Times and other local publications. He also wrote opinion pieces on culture and identity that appeared in various local magazines.

He was a Visiting Associate at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore in 1995-6, and spent time as a visiting researcher at the National Institute of Education Center for Research (Singapore) in 1997-1998. He co-taught a course on Southeast Asian Politics at the Southeast Asian Studies programme (NUS) in 1997. He also lectured on an MA in Asia-Pacific Studies for the University of Leeds distance learning course in Singapore.

may i knw what dubious things he had done? since he got a bad record which you claim, how come still can teach in NUS after graduate?

dont tell me what wiki said is wrong also?

Fingolfin_Noldor SG

And the Govt does not when they say the Opposition represents chaos, calls those who live quitters and what not? And goes as far as threaten its opponents with lawsuits and use ad hominen attacks?

Your selective memory and cherry picking shows up again huh?

Rock^Star SG

Proof hereby that Cheng San election was rigged?

Tell the world that I, Robert HO, have already published numerous statements of how Lee Kuan Yew, then Prime Minister of Singapore, rigged the 1997 Cheng San GRC election, in the newsgroup soc.culture.singapore.

Here are about 15 pages of my typical postings in soc.culture.singapore on this subject [note that soc.culture.singapore is heavily monitored by the PAP govt and police and I have been charged and investigated TWICE for my postings in soc.culture.singapore BUT NEVER FOR THESE LKY ELECTION RIGGING POSTINGS AND STATEMENTS due to LKY fear of public exposure should the matter be brought to police or court]:

Tell the world that I have obtained confirmation of my Informant's eyewitness testimony. That not only have my wife and I [see Attached testimony] been told in confirmation of what Mr David DUCLOS and his lawyer friend saw that night, but also Secretary-General of the Singapore Democratic Party, Dr Chee Soon Juan, has spoken to Mr DUCLOS and obtained Mr DUCLOS' confirmation about his eyewitness testimony to my wife and I.

Robert Ho is an ex-journalist with the Straits Times.

Subject: RH: Was Cheng San election result rigged?
'Proof'?

QUOTE: " You may be interested to know the following:

On the polling night of the Cheng San elections I was
with a lawyer
friend - quite prominent- sitting at a coffee shop
directly opposite
the etrance to the Anderson School where the counring
was to take
place for Cheng San.

Our vantage point was about 20' higher than the road
which fronted the
school gates. The school building was another 50
metres away from the
gates. The gates were closed with two uniformed police
as security.
The lights in the open coumpound up to the building
were off but the
building lights were well on.

The counting should have started at about 8pm but we
took our
positions about 8.30pm.

We had one eye on the Anderson School counting centre
and another eye
ahead of us on the coffeeshop TV monitor perched a
little above our
heads. We could keep watch on the TV to see the
results as they came
in and also on the school.
At about 10.30pm we noticed a small closed van
approach the gates and
gates opened after some inquiry by the security police
and the small
van drove straight to the building. This was unusual
as the other few
vehicles that entered the building that we saw all
turned to the left
upon entering to park. But this van was allowed to
proceed to the
building entrance.

We were interested and watched closely the driver and
his assistant,
both in army uniforms, went to the rear doors of the
van and took our
some boxes and proceeded to carry them to the
building. They did a few
trips each with a box. The boxes looked like ballot
boxes.

We would be about 80 metres away and noted that the
van had no
markings but was of one colour which in the darkness
could have been
grey. After carrying the boxes in and immediatly
after, the van drove
off with the same two persons.
Nothing untoward occurred further that night.

We waited at the spot until all other results were out
and announced
but not Cheng San which completed at about 1.40am or
so.

We were known to one of the Cheng San opposition party
candidates and
we asked him what took so long as he was in there and
also with the
two other scrutineers of the opposition party. This
was after they
emerged from the counting centre.

They were surprised themselves and said that the
counting took some
time because there was recount after recount.

But they said that what was stranger was that they
were well into the
counting when the Rreturning officer on duty said
there were another
few boxes - 8-10 more to be opened as they had just
arrived. This
approximated to the time we saw the van driving up to
the school
building.

The scrutineers and the candidate said they checked
the unopened boxes
and found that the opposition party seals were not in
place.They
informed the Returning Officer who then said that the
absence of the
opposition seal did not render them invalid as the
responsibility for
having the seal in posiiton was that of the opposition
party.

The boxes contents (votes) were counted and they noted
that the votes
composition was very much in favour of the PAP unlike
the other boxes
where they votes more or less balanced out.

We drove the two lady scrutineers home and upon oiur
inquiries we
learned from them in all their innocence that the
extra ballot boxes
wre only opened and counted after the initial counting
had taken
place. Also that the preponderance of PAP votes in
those boxes were
not following the trend of the earlier countings. We
know somebody had
been had.

The Returnoing Officer is duty bound to ensure that
all ballot boxes
are in place before allowing counting to commence. "

The people who had an issue with him were the students, not the school.

What happened to Gan Kim Yong?

reddressman SG

I am newbie.

Just want to say something.

I will always support and vote for the party that is Truthful to the People.

Any party that is untruthful about how money is spent can never get my vote.

I don't care how good this party is. As long as its not honest and truthful to reveal investments, I will not support it.

Why would I support dishonesty?

I rather support a less capable but honest garmen.

A lot of sinkaporeens scared about many things when they vote.

Their weakness will sabo the rest.

A liar is a liar and a leopard never change its skin.

To me, non-disclosure is a Big Turn-Off ! I will not support.

IF Cheng San election's result was indeed rigged,what's wrong with the system and how can the same thing be prevented?

Rock^Star SG

He made a boo boo on the number of new foreign students in local universities when it should have been a larger figure.

Perhaps you can google him.

Mat Toro SG

Here's what I found on wiki. Didn't say anything about some student thingy.

Gan Kim Yong (b. 9 February 1959) is a Singaporean Member of Parliament who represents Chua Chu Kang SMC. He is also currently the Minister of State (Ministry of Education and Ministry of Manpower).

In the 2006 general elections, Gan, representing the PAP, contested Chua Chu Kang SMC against the Steve Chia of the Singapore Democratic Alliance. Gan won with 60.37% of the votes.

Gan also represented the Holland-Bukit Panjang GRC (now Holland-Bukit Timah Group Representation Constituency between 2001-2006.

Can you tell us exactly what boo boo did Gan make?
