Well take a look in this way, Grace is a minister. So, you cant
have a cry-baby politican (Read: Politican, not minister). Just
like you dont want a cry baby / this cannot do and that will die
one as the leader in your camp / NS / project team etc.
So, you cannot expect like "Mr / Ms XXX: I would never want to
contest in SMC" (And the reason is because ...... [Insert your
reasoning apart of the fear on losing the election])
If you say like that, you are going to boot out from the party,
because
1) You do not want an SMC, you abandon SMC voters
2) Even if in charge of a GRC like Sembawang, Jurong or even
Marine Parade, if tio contest, then the poll result will swing
towards opposition because most people wont trust this politican
right? If it is a walkover like Tanjong Pagar, then interestingly,
that people will still talk bad things behind. Again, what if a
long traditional walkover GRC tio contest?
