WP released their 52-PAGE
MANIFESTO almost 3-4 months in advance of the
elections, which the Ruling party as usual, NEVER
DISCLOSED as to the precise date.
Their manifesto explained at length and in relative detail on the
goals of the party and what their agenda is for the
elections.
In retrospect, the PAP, in response, released a disappointing
12-PAGE
MANIFESTO that was lacking, brushing through
MOTHERHOOD STATEMENTS and polishing the surface.
Can the the WP be blamed for an empty campaign?
Plenty of thought process went through their manifesto. They dared
to release it EARLY in anticipation of the coming elections. Some
might even wager that they pre-empted the govt's bluff to set an
election date. The launch of their manifesto clearly shook the
Ruling party, given the sudden and fast jibes they received from
prominent ministers.
And the PAP? They have been demanding the opposition to come clean
with their agenda. What about theirs? Perhaps they still think they
can rest on their laurels?
