It is only right for the Punggol Constituents to have an election to choose their representative.

LHL must do it fast because now got 5 corner fight. A lot if services are going to hike also. Cannot delay too long.
Pinky will be wise to quickly hold by-election especially now opp parties are planning for multiple corner fight, which dilute votes of opp parties, and be erected again. Before opp parties become sensible and united, PAP must win by-election by using all ShittyMedia and ShittyTimes to highlight daft singaporeans can benefit from opp parties contest in multiple corner fight, and people must be free to vote for opp party they like, without mentioning about vote dilution. Pappy already won 54% before so it only benefit for remaining pies to be shared by opp parties to ensure a convincing win.
Opp parties must be as daft as daft voters allow. only then PAP can 万岁万岁万万岁 !!!! PAP forever !
Multiple parties contesting. Pap sure win. Opp other than wp are a joke
ShittyTimes can now redeem themselves to show how fair ,which beside giving more coverages to how good PAP candidate is, also give equal coverages among the opp party candidates to ensure more or less equal vote across opp party candidates.
See if PAP get 40% vote at worse case, the rest split at 35,20, 5, PAP still win.
Once PAP get erected, all 3 opp party losers can be made the blame game, and shittytimes can then go to full mode how stupid opp parties are, without mentioning that it is the voters too that are stupid enough not to recognise vote dilution.
Problem is each opp candidate attracts different opp voters that's why sure loose
The election will be before MND come out with the result of the AIM investigation. Presumably, this is to preempt the PAP from risking further erosion of support if they hold the election after the AIM investigation is made public.
The fear is that opposition votes may be diluted among the opposition candidates, which is not good. Otherwise, the WP may have a fighting chance, considering that the PAP only managed 54% the last GE. A swing of 3% is quite possible with the current TC francas raging in cyberspace.
Whatever P also the same. Politics is just a dirty game. The rich will get richer and the rest will get poorer. More anti families policies and laws will be passed as this world is ruled by a bunch of LGBTs.
"he fear is that opposition votes may be diluted among the opposition candidates, which is not good. Otherwise, the WP may have a fighting chance, considering that the PAP only managed 54% the last GE. A swing of 3% is quite possible with the current TC francas raging in cyberspace. "
Exactly. That is why whichever opp party that want to contest better win with majority vote. the loser parties will be forever remember as stupid parties that put self interest before the country. Think about that, why should opp parties dilute the vote and confirm losing the monies, given that monies are contributed by supporters. You are talking about by-election which is very close fight of vote, so why should multiple opp parties dilute the vote.
The opp parties themselves have to know and understand the ground of how voters will vote them before contesting, otherwise what is the point they waste their supporter's money for contesting ? I am SDP supporter who vote for this party but come to this by-election I am disappointed they try to contest knowing that it is futile because PAP will higher chance of winning in multiple fight.
The opp parties should sort themselves to select one candidate to contest against smelly party. I have to choose WP because from by-election, it is quite apparent they are more popular and highly chance to win, and beside they have contest in that smc in last election.
Yup! Pinky is smart and cunning! Opp are idiots! No doubt about it. Read this. http://politicalwritings.wordpress.com/2013/01/09/one-shrewd-pm/#like-1291
I am beginning to think the Opp are dumb now that LHL is calling the Punggol East by-election. They didn't know that unity is strength. Can they not let WP continue working the ground as in GE 2011. The SDA's candidate lost his deposit in the 2011 election and I am wondering who is next - SDP, Reform Party etc will follow suit in this by-election.
Those who vote the PAP are not so daft after all. Opp have themselves to blame.
God only help those who help themselves.
My question to opp parties is , are they helping themselves and their party in multiple corner fighter that will assure that PAP will be the confirming win eventually ? If not, WTF !!!!!!!!!!
Apology for my "politeness" for your own good.
"Yup! Pinky is smart and cunning!"
Please. Pinky is not smart and cunning just that opp parties and voters are stupid and daft. No wonder PAP always win and we daft lesser mortals always suffer . Get it ?
Aiyah no need scared of BIG NAME PROFESSIONAL.
Recent events shown that these pai leh scholars are a disgrace with all their scandals.
Me prefer a simple stout-hearted true blue Singaporean to be my MP. 15K a month enough full time MP.
