indeed the WP n SDA has done well for hougang n potong pasir
respectively, ie. to retain their seats of more than 10 ++
yrs.
who gomez really is, only the wise can determine it. a fool merely
just sound out like an empty vessel. evidence is already there. so
judge it urself and consider if he is worthy to be in WP. no smoke
w/o a fire...
and as mentioned by thread-starter, the residents of hougang was n
i quote "indicates a strong REJECTION of SGD100mil worth of
taxpayer's goodies, and a firm rejection of the despicable methods
to 'buy' hougang voters" thus it might be safe to say that they do
not need the $$ to upgrade their surroundings etc now n as urgently
as some other wards. so why did the opp. mp of hougang proposed to
the government (pap) that he (LTK)wanted to apply for this amount
of $$. (LTK still has the sinking funds for his ward to work on
anyway.)
as to buying of votes...doesn't the oppositions' tactics revolve
around 'sympathy votes" to buy their own votes as well?
"And Low Thia Khiang's firm assertion that the upgrading money was
in fact the people's monies being used unscrupulously for one
party's gain; it brings back sad comparisions to the NKF
saga."
it is indeed the people's monies but it is also the choice of the
people in hougang (and of course potong pasir for that matter) to
vote for the mp that can help to bring, and i quote the
thread-starter again, a "better town council, better hope and a
better future for the people in the opposition ward."
lastly, it is indeed the singaporeans taxpayers' monies. not only
the taxpayers' monies in hougang/potong pasir but the whole of
singapore. but since the people has voted so let the respective
opposition mps handle it.
