Open Comment ♥ Election 大選
TOC 16 Jul 2017: Mdm Halimah Yacob indicates clear intention to stand in upcoming Presidential Election
Personally wish to see MHY keeps her promise on completing and serving her MP term. MHY should give herself longer/ sensible time to think/ plan properly for next PE2022 instead.
MHY should give other (ex-MP or non-MP) high calibers of her peers a chance for PE2017.
TOC 4 Jul 2017: PM Lee on his siblings’ accusations against him, “suing my own brother and sister in court would further besmirch our parents’ names”
As a big brother (and leader), he has to take the honest and respectable course to gain back his trust from both (or either one of) his siblings (and Singaporeans).
Redbean 2 Jul 2017: The price of filial piety - $24m or $36m
Most likely not such a small amount (to the lees), you should put in all tangibles n intangibles to get the ultimate sum correct.
Redbean 1 Oct 2016: Tharman in panic mode
Win-win for Singapore n Tharman (in the long term). The 'old' DPMs will categorically move up (promote to next higher SM role) together with the 'old' PM. The 'new' PM/ DPMs will be guided/ supported by old birds in the international ground.

After the hard-to-come-by super luck, wave goodbye to the Silence Style over hatred!?
Beyond SG50 for prosperity luck, take the respectable path on the Gentleman Style!!
Redbean 12 Sep 2015: PAP routs the opposition

In case many are still wondering - the answer is super luck (11 Sep - 12 Sep 2015).

Redbean 22 Aug 2015: Pasir Ris GRC – The biggest upset in the making
Well again, look like nothing much exciting for these 2 Giant GRCs in this GE 2015 until now.
Lets focus back here again with Elephant OPPs at next GE 2020.
Redbean 11 Aug 2015: PM Low Thia Khiang
Too bad NDP just over. One of the dry run during NDP preview/ rehearsal is the funny appearance of invited acting PMs.
It will be more refreshing to see your alternative PMs at future NDP preview/rehearsal.
TOC 6 Aug 2015: “We take support of the voters seriously”: Low Thia Khiang
Except WP, the voters/ supporters have no clear way to ascertain the competencies (up till 2015) of other opposition parties.
Nonetheless, their sincerity/ seriousness will come in helpful during upcoming election. Think of well-beings of Singaporeans first.
Catherine Lim 31 Jul 2015: Some Thoughts On The Coming General Election
Indeed the use of election boundary/ GRCs/ ... are notoriously boring and obviously only after votes. Sengkang is (and was) chopped and splitted into various SMCs/ GRC.
These shuffling here and there do not go well with talks on Singapore Identity in practice. Sengkang Identity is lost without a solidarity election boundary in mind.

TOC 25 Jul 2015: Your vote is secret – vote without fear
Look at unique ids at the right angle - mainly for audit purposes, deterrence of fakes and frauds, ...
Vote with your heart for the good of our country and citizens! Vote for Singapore!
TOC 12 Nov 2014: Contest in Tanjong Pagar GRC will decide S’pore’s future
Good for TP citizens to have a chance to vote (if only history does not repeat itself) . oppo better not get disqualify and kick out last minute
SG Web Reviews 16 Jun 2013: Working and living in a foreign country
The online battle continues between 2 good-English debaters (told earlier – anybody else please improve your English first).
So to what end for hatred (today poke, next day curse ...) and everyday anti-govt (today anti-PAP, next day anti-WP ...)?
Still there are more anti-not-good-policy citizens now, but we have to remind ourselves not to target wrongly at own people!
Btw, anti-not-good-policy is not same as anti-govt/ anti-PAP/ anti-WP/ ..
Lucky Tan 13 May 2013: Malaysians Overseas Protest : Different countries, Different reactions
Andrew Loh 13 May 2013: Dear police, keep the cameras to yourself
The world has heard/ seen peaceful gatherings on fair election, but unfortunately with few Malaysians in trouble here in Singapore (whether at Merlion Park or even Malaysian Embassy).
After ‘worldwide’ rallys, hopefully Malaysia can come to a ‘happier’ ending with/ without the help of United Nations (Political Affairs?) peacemaking to resolve the election issues.
Philolitics 11 Apr 2013: Margaret Thatcher vs Harry Lee Kuan Yew
You miss the very important point on the respectable former PM Margaret Thatcher and Lee Kuan Yew (not ignoring whatever wrong) – not any normal Maggie or Harry that you could choose on the street.
I guess, love or like by individual (but chosen by nation) of the respectable former PMs.
Feed Me To The Fish 23 Jan 2013: Taking The Thunder Out Of Tharman’s Budget Speech
For this Punggol East BE, not much to count on the sincerity towards those living in Punggol/ Sengkang, since the last-minute candidates are just echoing many problems here and attacking who are the bigger losers.
The voters will likely make their decisions based on the ability/ courage of the potential party willing to put the country in the right path. The BE result will also show those parties that are not up to the expectation of Singaporeans.
Lucky Tan 21 Jan 2013: Political Strategy and the Punggol East by-elections
The election boundaries are politically twisted/ illogical and definitely not towards human touch/ wholesome. This Punggol East BE is not just for those living in Punggol, and also for some living in Sengkang as well.
Take for example, Sengkang Town is remarkably chopped up into 3 parts – Punggol East SMC/ Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC/ Sengkang West SMC. For other strange reasons, Punggol East SMC becomes closer to Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC and Sengkang West SMC becomes closer to Ang Mo Kio GRC.
Lucky Tan 9 Jan 2013: AIM-PAP Saga : white elephants, transparency and accountability
For the whole big exercise of outsourcing the IT system, no sound advice/ discussion involving highly professional ICT expert/ consultant from IDA?
It is pretty clear that WP has emerged as the bigger winner with the upscale IT system, even though TC Management Report shows otherwise.
Molly Meek 24 Oct 2012: Papers Full of Nonsense
Debate (or exciting two-way conversation) and lecture (or mostly boring one-way conversation) are 2 sides of the coin; both used to communicate to intended (attentive/ obedient) audience.
The seasoned politician will choose the correct style (or hybrid style) at the correct time/ place for effective communication/ presentation; the single noble thing to do is to keep your promises.
Feed Me To The Fish 19 Jun 2012: When Words Fail Me
Deadlock between so-called leader/ new generation (and dead-end from bottom up) will put Singapore no way down the right path.
I hope Reuben Wang would put back his earlier post (exclude #@^*...) as long as his original intention was of no ill intention.
Nevertheless his priority is still to further his study, think for his future/ family and later can do more right things for the country.
Feed Me To The Fish 24 May 2012: “What Makes PAP Is So Detestable?”
Take a look back how former MP Chiam See Tong was sabotaged (openly) and weakened by own party members.
Like history repeats itself, incumbent MP Low Thia Khiang suffers the same fate of sabotage (hideously) and messed up by underhand sources.
Most importantly with their passions, the veteran oppositions must face the tide to continue doing the right things for the citizens.
Feed Me To The Fish 21 May 2012: Hougang Hokkien
Let’s not finger point at our own people, even though people still have many dislikes on the policies.
Do not forget the Achilles’ heel is the disunity among (and within) the opposition parties.
If only the 2 veteran oppositions, former MP Chiam See Tong/ incumbent MP Low Thia Khiang, had joined forces together (in GE 2011) to consolidate 2 opposition wards PP (now lost)/ HG (now by-election), would there be better way to gain trust and show sincerity to win more votes (maybe more than AJ)?
Today 15 Sep 2011: Two-party system not good for Singapore, says Lee Kuan Yew
Government cannot rely largely on foreigners forever to run economy/ business, but more importantly to face real problems of high cost of living, declining birth rate and long-term development of Singaporeans.
因政府亲外国劳工的极端政策不断地被滥用，国人只能委屈地面对很多不公平的竞争来负担高生活费用，形成一种剥削新加坡人生活水平的制度。
新加坡深远问题是如何能享有富有意义的卓越经济增长，同时正视国人长期发展及国人生育率下降的问题，而非无理头地继续依赖大批移民的涌入。
Today 24 Aug 2011: Hougang grassroots adviser eyes six sites
Why PA keep spending unnecessary money just to resort to old past ugly practice to block and out-smart one another presence, against true spirit for community?
Why PAP/ WP/ SPP cannot co-exist with simple graceful practice of first-come-first-serve (1-month booking in advance), else look for next better premise under Town Council?
Why MND allow such controversial lawful practice to PA, instead of coming up with convincing fairer ideas to uphold integrity of Town Council management?
Why IDA? not come out with helpful centralised Town Councils booking system for community events, if everyone cannot see eye-to-eye, cooperate and agree forever?
Today 12 Aug 2011: Social cohesion, immigration may feature in PM’s rally, say analysts
From usual emphasis on business/ economy, it will be difficult for PM to face directly on real issues that cause Singaporeans to live in disappointment (even after earlier last-minute sudden sincere? apology).
Going forward in internet age, it will be difficult to see less of negativity (from leftist and rightist)/ cyber-bully/ hypocrisy/ hatred/ arrogance without real connection between government and Singaporeans.
Today 4 May 2011: PM now focusing more on middleclass and young
PAP last-minute helpless move! or sudden sincere U-turn after so many years?
Majority not-so-rich/ not-so-poor, not-so-white/ not-so-black, not-so-old/ not-so-new do not have any extraordinary demand and do not depend much on government despite high cost of living.
Most Singaporeans are actually very simple-minded/ reasonable, and common hope is to see truly good government that can truly represent citizens by achieving true meaningful growth together.
PAP紧要关头之无奈举向！或经过多年此刻突然真心U转？
多数属于即不富即不贫、即不白即不黑、即不老即不少都无特别要求，也不依赖政府给于任何特别帮助，靠自己负担高生活费用。
多数新加坡人的要求是很简单和明理的，只期望能有真正代表人民的好政府，一起共创富有意义的经济增长，积极帮助国人共进退。
Today 28 Apr 2011: High-stake move could see no Opposition MPs in House: Low
With X-factor of sincerity/ wisdom / caring/ ... (able to understand common people view) and Y-factor of courage/ spirit/ drive/ ... (strive to put country in right path), citizens can now look forward to work together with potential party/ new team towards better generation of Singaporeans.
The S-factor of this election (fulfill our generations wish) is for all Singaporeans to steer away from typical mindset (such as kia su/ kia see/ bo bian/ bo chap/ ...), and to keep clear mind (at least for this crucial moment) to vote wisely for kind of ‘brighter’ future we want.
有了一生难得一见的诚意、智慧、关怀等X因素（能体谅国人的心情）和勇气、精力、干劲等Y因素（下决心将国家走向正路），新加坡人就有望得到有潜力的政党及新团队，积极帮助国人共进退。
新加坡人是这次大选的S关键因素（成功达到国人的期望），不但得抛开以往的怪心态（如怕输、怕死、无助、无心等等），也必须认真看待及珍惜这一生难得的时机，用心投票争取更加光明的未来。
Today 19 Apr 2011: Ground may not be sweet for GE: SM Goh
Singaporeans should watch closely this election and be inspired from fighting spirit of old ‘stars’ MM Lee Kuan Yew and MP Chiam See Tong.
Most importantly, Singaporeans look forward to uprising new stars who are willing to fight against current flawed system with true heart/ spirit.
Today 18 Apr 2011: PAP manifesto a call to ‘secure future together’
Singaporeans do not need over-priced leaders to mindlessly catch self-serve wind to crave up huge meaningless economic gains, and giving themselves passing grade with their own one-sided exam.
Singaporeans want true-balanced leadership to selflessly serve citizens to build ‘brighter’ future with real meaningful growth, and helping citizens from further abuse of many extreme policies.
Today 12 Apr 2011: ‘No groupthink within PAP’
Singaporeans have seen far too many collective thinking of current government on no U-turn stand, and to take any slight chance/ gamble on Singapore future with many extreme policies.
Singaporeans have strong feeling for breakthrough on constrained groupthink of current one-party dominant government, and to build a ‘brighter’ Singapore with better balanced policies.
Today 6 Apr 2011: Two-party system ‘not workable in S’pore due to shortage of talent’
Singaporeans cannot rely on same old shallow promise from current one-party dominant government, and live in disappointment with many one-sided/ extreme policies forever.
Singaporeans can only stand up together in this election to fight against current flawed system, and bring back our past true spirit towards more meaningful/ brighter future.
Today 30 Mar 2011: Mixed views on youngest PAP candidate in three decades
For past few days, here seems to off-track from real fight and has become another cyber-bully site (like Stomp) to attack on every little ugly aspect of life.
For all people here, bear in mind that NO one will want to be made fun of and target by another person (or worst still by many groups) for purpose of defeating your enemy.
For young PAP candidate who claim to be tech-savvy, face the music on reality of internet bashing on your true old past, TODAY and would be future.
Today 24 Mar 2011: Low Thia Khiang: No NCMP seat for me
Can 2 veteran opposition MP Chiam See Tong (now out of SDA)/ MP Low Thia Khiang (now expanding WP) start by joining forces together to consolidate current 2 opposition wards PP/ HG first, follow by more sincere promises to citizens to win more votes?
Today 14 Mar 2011: Essential to win a GRC, says WP’s Low
Not just knocking down hurdle of ONE unfair GRC policy, but to move towards fundamental changes to MANY other unfair/ misguided policies.
Cut in pay of current government/ president/ ministers with proper benchmarking for performance-linked pay (obviously OVER benchmarking now).
Push job quota to help citizens from further abuse of pro-foreigner policy (same OVER crowding problem citizens face before ethic HDB quota).
Today 25 Feb 2011: There is some gerrymandering: WP
This election is about ONE important factor on our future policy, NOT the no U-turn (and no safe road ahead) policy which current government/ PAP continuously advocate.
The mature voters will decide what kind of ‘brighter’ future they want, NOT to blindly give (and waste away) their ‘support’/ ‘mandate’ like in the past.
这次大选对新加坡未来政策的改变有很大的关键性,从政府/PAP不断提倡的无U转（且无安全道路可前进）的政策,这几年来已辜负众多新加坡人的委托。
许多聪明的新加坡人就会更加珍视自己宝贵的一票,不再让不公平的选举制度压迫，也不再像以往盲目地支持执政党,一起用心投票争取更加光明的未来。
Today 3 Nov 2010: The mood of a nation … and what it means for the coming election
More and more Singaporeans are showing discontent with the senseless mentality of our so-called leaders and the like, and are voicing out their real/ sad sentiments due to many extreme policies/ practices adopted.
With PAP gradually losing respect/ support, the current government will turn out to be real loser for over-emphasis on huge economic gains, and for neglecting main duty to serve citizens by achieving true meaningful growth.
TR 20 Oct 2010: 投票是秘密的
多数新加坡人的要求是很简单和明理的，所期望能真正代表人民的政府已遥不可及。
执政党从不公平的选举制度获得胜力，却违背许多国人的票数，因此也辜负众多国人的委托。
只要越来越多国人抛开多年的死脑筋，珍视自己宝贵的一票，用心投票争取更加光明的日子。
TR 4 Oct 2010: 评议李光耀的纽约时报访谈
夕阳无限好，只是近黄昏。哪怕人生苦短，只要能珍惜所拥有，不为金钱及名利所蒙蔽，就不会遗憾今生。
明显的趋势是众多网民及新一代已对所谓的领袖们失去了信心，所有的是非与过错也成为永远无法抹除的一页。
若许多新加坡人肯用坚定正直的心态，摆脱各种无理的事物，以便重拾过往的自信心，齐心将国家推向更加光明的一幕。
TR 22 Sep 2010: 多党执政制度的必要
因不公平的一党制度，许多新加坡人才被无情无义的极端政策逼得像边缘人一般，国人内心已感到无限的迷茫及惆怅。
唯靠争取合理的多党合作，为国为民，才能拾回以往许多新加坡人独特的精神，共同提升及改写国家更加光明的未来。
TOC 13 Jul 2010: BREAKING NEWS: MDA bans See’s film on ISA detainee
Grievances that are too tough to swallow and will remain as unerasable chapter of Singapore forever.
Obvious repercussions are internet groups and younger generations already breaking faith on our so-called leaders and the like.
TR 25 Jan 2010: SM Goh: Elections not coming soon
With more Singaporeans showing discontent (with extreme policies/ practices), PAP cannot count on economic recovery alone to regain old glory; it would take lots more sincerity/ courage to be willing to relook/ value better balanced approaches.
At the end, what all hope to see is truly good government (maybe wait until after next election), that can move Singapore towards right track, and at same time can work hand in hand with Singaporeans together.
