The temptation of Hougangkia
For more than 20 years, Hougang was like a step child, abandoned by the establishment and left to fend for themselves. They soldiered on under the leadership of Low Thia Kiang. They literally bit the bullet and accepted their fate, that for some reasons, they would be at the end of the queue for any goodies or handouts. They stood their ground. They were resolute and committed to what they believed in. Today, the pride of Hougangkia and their resoluteness are being tested.
A handsome man came along with a pushcart of abalone porridge or the best free porridge one could find. And he is yelling, this is only the appetizer. Yield to his master and he will rebuild Hougang and improve the lives of all Hougangkia. He is so confident that he could do a lot of good to the band of drifters. No one has yet to ask him where is the money coming from. Everyone, including the young man, takes it for granted that the money will be there to turn Hougang into a Disneyland.
Will the knees of Hougangkia turn soft to the temptation? Will the step child turn into the favoured child of the favourite concubine? That is what Hougang will become if the young man is elected as their representative in Parliament. Hougang will be the new favourite child and bestowed with all the sweets and candies in the candy shop. And Hougang will be represented in Parliament and their voice will be heard.

BUYERS BEWARE AS THOE CASTLE IN DISNEYLAND IS ACTUALLY A DUNGEON
This Hougang BE, if really bought over by tricks and treats, it will be a sad day.... Pisss did the handsome young man tell them this sales is not covered by the Lemon Law?
Handsome meh? I saw young attractive women follow him around maybe he also become as temptation as yaw shin leong.
Headline in today's papers......Poh No show, straight fiak in Hou-gang.
PAP will win Hougang with a slim majority because WP can no longer use the "we need opposition voices in parliament" line. Then at the next election Hougang will be subsumed into a neighbouring PAP-held GRC. Besides, the lure of goodies would be too hard to resist. They say every man has his price and I am very confident that Desmond has that price in his coffers. Goodbye Hougang. it has been nice knowing you.
Hougang residents have been taken for granted in the past. They will be taken for granted again.
They are happy to be taken for granted and will be taken for granted.
Let see how Hougangkia response? Will they be smart or just like the 60.1 goondo
Heard that many times that Hougang is right for the picking, but you can never underestimate Teochew pride. Twenty years of mistreatment is not going to evaporate and be forgotten in just one by-election. Not just yet. In some place else maybe, but not in Hougang.

No way. WP will win with at least 65% of the valid votes.
