Hey guys, did you see in the news just now regarding WP's intro
of its latest candidates?
Kudos to WP for working hard to establish credibility and a "21
guns Salute!" to Low Thia Khiang for toiling against the tide all
these years.
The marketing and packaging of a political candidate is very very
impt. Which is why I was a tad disappointed to see the quality of
two of its candidates.
There was this Malay gentleman by the name of Abdul Salim. He is a
sales co-ordinator who grdauated from an ITE. In my opinion, he did
not articulate well on TV. One of the reasons he gave as to why he
joined the WP is to speak out against the PAP for introducing the
casino. To top it off, he is only 24 years old this year.
No offence to any bros who did not receive any university
education. You be the judge. Is this the quality of candidates that
we would like to see in parliament? A person's education may not
make him a good political leader but in "paper-chase" Singapore,
his qualifications matters, at least in the public eye.
The PAP can boast of ex-army generals and GMs of big corporations
who have experience running people and events on a massive scale.
Now, you do the comparison. PAP will make the opposition a laughing
stock. No way WP will ever get any scholars in its ranks but where
the quality of candidates are concerned, they need to work
harder!!
I thought things were going fine for the WP till this.
