Two big names were on the Workers’ Party list of candidates for the GE.
Leon Perera, 44 and Firuz Khan, 48, are two good catch that would do a
lot of good to the WP. This is only the beginning and if they could
present another 10 or so such candidates before the GE, the WP is in
serious business. With more professionals joining the party, it means
that the party is able to attract serious minded people to join its rank
to challenge the ruling party.
If the other opposition parties could also do the same and attract
similarly qualified candidates, the battle ground is going to change
dramatically this time round. And the voters cannot complain of not
having any choice. Those who had been voting for the ruling party out of
no good choice but wanting to vote otherwise would now have no problems
making their choices.
It is now very interesting to see how many more professionals the
opposition parties could bring out this time to give the PAP a run for
the money. Could we see a real battle in the making and not another
round of walkovers or underweights bashing against the PAP machine? I
think it is going to be exciting.
PS. Perera has a double first class from Oxford. He was a former head of an EDB division, a high flyer in his own right. He is now CEO of Spire Research and Consulting. Firuz is in the banking and retail industry and a council member of WP's Youth Wing.

Elections can be exciting. What is even more exciting is AFTER the elections....first the turmoil, and then eventually the disappointment sets in as "buyer remorse" grows and grows.

ReplyDeleteSounds GOOD!
Some oldies are not so energetic and hunt high and low to know more about these //two good catch//.
Can some kind souls share briefly about their profiles here?
But first must thank RB for putting up this VERY PROMISING article of A new HOPE and even a NEW BEGINNING.
Finally, some GOOD challenge to self serving, self enriching, hypocritical MIWs? Dare them to enact a law like most worthy DEMOCRACY to MANDATE politicians in public service to publish their WEALTH? Just posted in TRE that MBT has just become the 5th BIGGEST share holder in a listed company and this holding alone is valued at S$28,000,000 at current market price. WAH! EX-minister so RICH? BUT, too BAD sinkies many are impoverished and yes SO POOOOOOOOOOOR .......
ANYWAY, for our on line relentless fighter RB, 10 more cups of kopi on the way.
Yammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................... SENG!
Cheers to kopi turning BLUE today for our on line fighter one and only RB!
Ok, added a PS in the article on the two candidates. Perera has a double first from Oxford and an ex civil servant working in EDB.

ReplyDeleteWOW!
SOUND SO LATKU!
WAY TO GO!
ALL THE WAY TO PARLIAMENT!
Thank you RB so much for the added PS! You are so efficient! Nominate RB to run SMRT? Sick of the frequent breakdown liao and late for school, late for exam, late for work, kena scolding from teachers, bosses, principals. SMRT fault becomes students fault, sinkies fault, kena faulted for SMRT fault! WT------!
SINKIES SUPPORT RB, Perera, Firuz ALL THE WAY!
ENCORE! ENCORE!
WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE!
1,000,000 audience at next OPPOSITION GE RALLIES!
HIP HIP HURRAY!
PLS ALLOW OPPOSITION RALLIES IN THE NEW NATIONAL STADIUM!
AND HAVE 1,000 GIGANTIC SCREENS OUTSIDE AND AROUND THE STADIUM VICINITY!
ISN'T IT BUILT FOR SINGAPOREANS?
NO?
NOT TAX PAYERS $$$$$$$$$$$$?
SURELY THE CROWD WILL SPILL INTO THE OPEN FIELDS OUTSIDE THE STADIUM, THE ROADS, THE SIDE WALKS AND LIKELY A 5 KM RADIUS AROUND THE AREAS!
So 1,000 GIGANTIC SCREENS TO BEAM THE SPEECHES LIVE FOR FELLOW SINGAPOREANS ALL UNITED AS ONE!
SAY NO TO DECADENCE!

Hahahahaha.
The last round SDP had Tan Jee say, also from Oxford and even Presidential material.
But how many % votes did he get? Only 39% Not even anywhere close to winning!
And being elected, how was WP star MP Chen Show Mao performance? Maybe he could have performed better if WP were the govt or if he join PAP instead?
So the main problem with opposition is that they are not ready to contest 100% seats as one party, which means they are not ready to be govt.
And 60% really hate voting for a party not ready to be govt.
Because to them, a Sinkie coalition govt (with or without PAP) is a lousy govt and will screw Sinkies even worse than a all PAP govt.
Like the Chinese saying, "One mountain cannot contain 2 tigers".
If more than 2, it will be even worse.
In case sinkieland runs out of venues for rallies, think the basket ball courts also should be opened up as venues .......
ReplyDeletewith some rallies so small, why waste state's resources on BIG FIELDS?
Don't be so selfish!
Book the basket ball courts instead!
Leave the BIG SITES for NSP, SDP, SPP, RP, WP etc rallies .......
In history, NO GOVERNMENT can exist WITHOUT the people's support.
ReplyDeleteNot even arguably the most tyrannical Qin Dynasty in Chinese history!
No?

I think this PAP also knows. And PAP also knows 60% Sinkies and the opposition leaders very well. That's why PAP is still so yaya papaya.
"Know yourself, know your enemies,
100 battles, 100 victories"
- Sun Tze, Chinese military strategist more than 2000 years ago, and still relevant to this day and in Sinkieland.
Can't wait to see the "crying"
ReplyDeleteAnon 12:43, don't talk nonsense lah. Even PAP got so many dragons and tigers, where got no 2 tigers in one mountain. And some are crouching tigers some more.
ReplyDeleteWait for the big tree to fall and see what the crouching tigers will do.
Rb: // If the other opposition parties could also do the same and attract similarly qualified candidates, the battle ground is going to change dramatically this time round. //
ReplyDeleteSo far so GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
SDP has already announced a good orator and Phd holder.
Now, WP has Oxford double first and high flyer plus financial banking experts. Seems like WP is heeding the advice of online kpkb and beefing their weakest link.
WP low TFR, now 美女 Han married and 丽女 going to be mother soon ......
way to go.
only left the other 强女 haven't married. but dun worry bcos ah song will live up to his name of Ball-la king of "Song" and score a spectacular GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ...... well just like in the days of Malaysia Cup.
It was and still is a pleasure to watch ah Song dribble and weave his ways past helpless and hapless defenders and put the ball countless time into the net. this time is probably unlikely any different. in this aspect, 强女 is no match for SUPER STRIKER BALL - LA SONG ....... just listen only already very "Song" ........
Also, for NSP, we have party SG Jeanette Chong, crowd puller and beautiful adorable Nicole Seah ...etc etc
RP has the SON of the legendary JBJ ....... economist KJ
SPP the one and only CST ..... but confirm more than Chiam See Tong. After more than 30 years, CST is bigger than life ..... He has "tong" longer than many MPs in sinkieland history .....
Not forgetting WP heavy weights of heavy weights LTK, SL, CSM, Singh, Mohd, LLL, GG, Ah Huat or Huat Ah, Jenn, Daniel, the "LAWYERS" BROTHERS, etc etc ......
Is this an epic battle shaping up?
BRIGHTNESS WILL ULTIMATELY TRIUMPH OVER DARKNESS AND EVIL!
魔高一尺 道高一丈
Evil and Darkness grow by one foot, Brightness GROWS by ONE YARD!
Rb is just another pro paper qualification elitist.
ReplyDeleteIs there any evidence of intellectual making good leaders?
The World is hardly manage by MENSA Members, so are most nations. If highly qualified professionals make good leaders, sinkies will be the happiest citizenry in the World cos the PAP is made up of scholars or shall I call them educated and highly qualified rascals.
Hi Anon 1:19, you are right to say that good academics don't equate to good leaders or anything else. Many successful people in all fields are not good academics.
ReplyDeleteBut to have some academically good opposition candidates would avoid being labelled as only average dudes. Have a spread of everything will be good.

Otherwise, some people will say sinkieland will sink if change hand.
Then forever being squeezed, juiced until almost dry and living every month from hand to mouth for many bcos they can't self pay themselves millions suka suka unlike some self serving, self enriching, utterly selfish you die your OWN business bootlickers .....
cannot hope and expect coffee shop uncles, aunties and garung guni men to fight MIWs in parliament right?
It is time for Singaporeans to know that united, even a vagabond is more powerful infinitely than Lee Hsien Loong, his father and all in his Cabinet.
ReplyDeleteThey can be removed from power and even make to answer any injustice if they have committed any.
It now depends on the Sinkies themselves, if they are fine with the System. If not, just boot them out in the Next General Election.
Do Singaporeans like rights and justice?
patriot
Actually I really dislike ambitious people becoming politicians. Ambitions people are nearly always ruthless. I think politicians should just be chosen from mediocre compassionate people who can relate to the general population. High flyers should work in private sector earn more money and pay more tax to fund more welfare schemes.

If yew have that burning desire in yewr pussy to vomit in my direction, I already got yewr point lah.
At least if yewr going to attmept to slam me, be a little more creative lah, dun just cut and paste the same post -- yewr value and reputation jatoh like yewr granmama's tetek (the remaining one. Not the one Dr Hen Ng slashed off with his scalpel).
Yew are a typical impatient and lazy Singaporean cunt who is on the way to being obsolete. Yew have no craftsmanship. Yew let down fellow cuntrymen like redbean who can be corrosively sarcastic, and puts in effort for a few kopi kaus. Meanwhile, yewr greatest claim to fame is to hit the 'caps lock' key on yewr keyboard and go for it like an epileptic on cocaine and laxatives.
Please lah, raise the bar on yewr standards. ;-) Lest unwary readers deduce that the Singapore education system is 2nd grade.
Wow, WP also have candidates of ministerial material leh, respect respect !!!! Way to go WP. VTO will be our battle cry. The Papies are already shitting in their pants !!!!!

But not ready to be govt got use or not?
Just look at their MP Chen Show Mao. Even LKY also criticised Chen for being too ordinary as MP, despite his impressive CV.
And PAP still dare to have 6.9 million population to replace low fertility Sinkies.
So PAP where got scared of WP having MP like Chen Show Mao, u tell me lah?
That's why PAP will at worst, repeat its election outcome of 2011, and at best, improve by retaking Punggol East and Aljunied next GE.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think there is a 93% chance this will happen, the same chance as WP not being ready to form govt by next election.
LKY criticised anyone that is a threat lah. He not only criticised Chen Show Mao but also Goh Chok Tong and George Yeo.
ReplyDeleteActually when LKY criticised anyone, that one is good material or a threat.
In the last GE, LKY challenged WP to name their shadow cabinet!
ReplyDeleteSo now with this Leon Perera and Firuz Khan, WP shadow cabinet got enough already?
Or still not enough?
If so, then PAP no need to worry lah. PAP can count 93% sure on the 60%.
Count on 60%, Singapore.
Count on 60% Singapore, count on 60% to give PAP best and more.
Hahahahahha.
Hopefully some of them could just repeat the history a couple years ago. Yes, we need an alternative voice badly....
ReplyDeleteWe need more than an alternative voice. We need a new govt.
