"Internal Affairs" by Andy Lau n Tony Leung can learn thing.

sbst275 SG

Wait

If the viewers go watch and they block the SBS buses from moving for 1-2 hrs, aren't they worst? Delibrately causing service disruption

In this case, i share your sentiments.

Yet i must admit this elections is the best time for WP to determine whether all their hardwork over the past years have amounted to sufficient votes to capture a GRC.

GRCs are certainly vulnerable, not the least Yeo Cheow Tong for his series of blunders while being transport minister. Too bad the WP did not walk the ground at Hong Kah else that would certainly be another potential danger ground for the Ruling Party.

On your account of being 'interrogated' by the police, i can only surmise that in numbers and wearing that blue uniform, the home team think they are above the law.

Your snap remark about whether you had 'broken the law' only fuelled their emotional tandrems, tentamount to questioning their authority.

But i will say in no uncertain terms that the WP have played their cards well for this election. My only regret is that they didn't field Chia Ti Lik, Tan Wui-hua and Tan Bin Seng together with Sylvia Lim and Mohd Rahizan. I guess they wanted to spread out their chances of winning Joo Chiat Central and possibly also threaten the East Coast slate.

Hope is always a good thing, and hope that they spring a surprise by wresting a GRC from the Ruling Party will indicate a job well done.

And should they win, with the quality they have brought in, there is no doubt in my mind that they will put in good show, just like Hougang.

WP already mentioned over and over, its up to voters to decide if JG is wrong, and if he is, voters like LTK said, are smart enough to make the right choice not to vote for a party they don't trust. Laughing But down here, we have the pap trying aggressively to push the fact that the wp cannot be trusted at all and voters should not vote them as it's the wrong choice. I mean c'mon lar, if you're 21 years old enough to vote, I'm sure you have the common sense to make your own choices when it comes to who's right and who's wrong. If you think JG is wrong, don't vote for wp and don't get them into parliament,and if you can't decide, you can always nullify your vote. Laughing

If a PAP rally has so many viewers that they cause inconveniences to both traffic and the surrounding neighbourhood, who's fault is it? Laughing

sbst275 SG

It's also the canidates fault for not maintaining control

Still remembered the SDA Jln Besar GRC rally back in 2001, ended up Riot Police was activated which ended up the SDA supporters getting even unhappy

Speakingabout simple statement making the police angry, I remembered about one of my driving instructor mentioned once he was accused by

his neighbour of disorderly conduct. The policemen not sure of the no.
One of the policemen came n threatened to arrest him, he said on what grounds cause his father n mother were witness saying their son had not done anything against the law. This driving instructor went on to comment
let us go to meet ur superior for clarification. Guess what?
The policeman turned angry n threatened to sue him(driving instructor).
Driving instructor threatened back"Let us go to meet ur superior, If I am not wrong as said by ur superior, I will engaged a lawyer to sue u"

precisely, one innocent question is enough to piss them off and they are definitely policemen coz gangsters don't go around in full police uniform or drive police cars. furthermore, i got confirmation from their chief as a letter of apology ...

no i'm not naive, that's why i know this whole gomez issue is nothing but dirty politics ...

snow leopard SG

yes, yes i did ... but nowadays i think they're much more polite and professional ...

snow leopard SG

you have a point there ... prior to that i was never questioned by the police, never had any encounters with the police and common wisdom is police stop you only when you got into trouble with the law so naturally i would be eager to know what wrong have i done ... if only they understood my psychology then ... or maybe i should've understood theirs ...

sbst275 SG

I dun feel any fear when seeing them

Maybe cos many are NSmen

king108 SG

Don't accuse the police!! They are highly professional law enforcer. If the rioters are real then prosecute them and have them punished for creating public disorder.

I am no above the law. But pray hard that action are taken. We don't wanted street opposition supporter too.
Evil or Very Mad

snow leopard SG

i got nohwere else to put this so i put it here ...

some of the things ministers say are really damn stupid. i wonder if they realise how stupid they sound on national TV.

Ng Eng Heng said:

1. Can the opposition bring down price of oil?

so what if the opposition can't? the PAP also cannot bring down oil prices. that being the case can we say it doesn't matter whether we have PAP or opposition, since they're the same?

2. Can opposition prevent factories from pulling out of singapore?

but factories did pull out en masse to china in the 90s right under the very noses of the PAP.

3. Can oppostion bring down price of coffee?

PAP just increased the price of coffee only a couple of months ago.

isn't it damn stupid to accuse the opposition of not being able to offer what the PAP also cannot offer?

lastly, Ng Eng Heng also belittled the Workers Party as the "Wayang" Party. anybody can play with words. since the PAP likes to smear everyone else, we can also call the PAP tactics - the "PAP smear test" ...

sbst275 SG

Think of it

They harp the rising cost of living, we are a free market, so any attempts to control to keep cost low, ppl may start again accusing of controlling the market

PAP increase the price of coffee? Coffee price increased because sugar, needed to make coffee mixture went up by 50%. Though I have no idea till now why tea prices also go up

Wayang... If you can see now, James Gomez dun even need to 'submit' a minority form if fielded at Aljunied. It has been stated during the boundary report of the minority canidate requirement, at least must have 1 EITHER a Malay or an Indian canidate

You should have heard what Mah Bow Tan said in his rally, captured over the radio on morning FM93.8.

He was dangerously close to aligning himself with political gangsters, especially about the part where he claimed the opposition was nothing more than rabble who once every 5 years comes out, holds rallies and 'scold' the government.

He even went so far as to lambast the people who attend these rallies as loving every minute of it, a chance to see some 'govt bashing'.

What you mentioned about the snappy comments by Ng Eng Hen mirrors my thoughts: that the Ruling Party lack the depth and guile to outmanoeuvre the better-prepared WP.

Certainly everything Ng said was clutching at straws. Baseless and empty.

All they can do is monopolise more air time by dedicating still more tiresome reviews on the JAMES GOMEZ SHOW. This time however, i get the feeling from the general public that their mugslinging no longer commands the same audience as before.

After all, the people are more EDUCATED, more critical and less gullible.

The full BIAS of the Media and SPH are on show for every Singaporean; the more they continue to plaster the front page with pro-PAP election material and the JAMES GOMEZ SHOW, the more it may backfire at the Ruling Party.

Seriously, i hope it does.

king108 SG

Laughing I support Minister Ng for allowing us to have foreigner labourer to replace singaporean labourer. I would support him more if he say foreigner worker can be paid $2000 minimum. So that I can have good foreigner worker..

Cheap one no good. Expensive one very good. Minister Ng Hooray !!!

will4 SG

I also hoped Minister Ng be the next PM cause he is likened to the founding father of Spore. Smile

SINGAPORE : Foreign Minister George Yeo has said he no longer wants to talk about the James Gomez issue.

Instead, he would rather concentrate his efforts on what his team could do for Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (GRC) residents.

Mr Yeo is leading the People's Action Party (PAP) team for Aljunied GRC in the upcoming General Election.

With two days of hustings left, the PAP team is now intensifying their visits to residents in Kembangan and Punggol to better understand their needs.

Minister Yeo said his team has a blueprint for the ward, including building more facilities tailored for senior citizens.

He is confident voters will be able to make an accurate judgement with regards to the Gomez issue.

Mr Yeo said, "What we want is a masterplan for Aljunied GRC for an ageing population so it is lifts on every floor, rams, void decks; we need more park benches and I think we need more toilets...We need a whole range of facilities and activities to help them, so that they will enjoy their senior citizens years and find life a little more less difficult...There is no need for me to talk about what Mr Gomez has said; it is what Mr Gomez has not said that is important." - CNA/ms

Finally. He and his party wasted 7 long days condemning the opponents instead of telling the voters what they had to offer. These Gomez issue had cause the FM his good guy image and most probably his voters support.

To date, the oppositions had come out with lots of suggestions and inputs (whether feasibile or not) but the ruling party had come out with none chosing to waste 7 good long days in the character analysis.

my 2 cents worth

we are a 'free' market? they control coffee prices don't they? they say up, means up. they control transport price isn't it? they say up, means up. they control GST isn't it? they say up, means up? where got 'free' my friend?

PAP increase the price of coffee? Coffee price increased because sugar, needed to make coffee mixture went up by 50%. Though I have no idea till now why tea prices also go up

be it sugar or coffee, price of coffee went up no doubt just a couple of months back. they can't keep coffee prices down don't 'wayang' and say opposition cannot.

Wayang... If you can see now, James Gomez dun even need to 'submit' a minority form if fielded at Aljunied. It has been stated during the boundary report of the minority canidate requirement, at least must have 1 EITHER a Malay or an Indian canidate

you see today's news, how a whole bunch of white shirts gathered together to wash one square metre of HDB void deck? this must be the mother of all wayangs. the bangrah worker spread washing powder on the floor and the white shirts flock together to wash that one square metre ... much like chicken flocking together for chicken feed ...
