Seriously face it, today's gen you're not going to be able to find true blue political fighting cocks from either camp today.
Fighting cocks where they're able to solve problems and help the people. Both comes together.
Well the statement didn't say whether those who took the aircon coach were from the ruling party or the opposition, haha...why do you think they are talking about Ms Ting? What it implies is that if George were fighting in a single seat constituency, he would have a higher chance of staying in the parliament.
In singapore we have to acknowledge that in many ways the price of being an opposition politician is much higher than those from the ruling party. Will MP from the opposition have the chance of becoming a minister, if he is capable?
Fighting cocks fight for the sake of fighting, they don't fight to solve the problem to help people. True blue fighting cocks politician are like Jaya, chiam ST...they fight till they die! in that sense, george is not a true blue fighting cock.

Turn the table the around
The PAP started as an opposition party. If they could strengthen up, find good ideas in their manifesto that's workable in day to day environement, soon you'll see another Singapore. Whether is it good or not, time will tell.
As for fighting cocks I mean those that appeared in the 1970s era like Chin Harn Tong, Jaya, CST. GY's a case probably because he's a soldier himself.
It is strange that singaporean are so passionate about the losers.
If they lose, they lose.
What have georgie done to deserve his seat ?
The residents have made their vote.
Dun use the lousy excuse that WP won because they fielded their strongest team.
Or the people are more passionate about WP.
If little georgie and his gang have done their job, no one can beat them cos they have walk the ground.
Maybe Nicole Seah should quit politics since she also lost the election.
Up till now, i still do not understand why peoples keep saying George Yeo is a nice person, I personally met him in his capacity as a foreigner minister at Fullerton Hotel, he completely ignored the singaporeans greeting him and instead take care of his guests who also felt why he ignored his peoples, he is a proud person to me.
Did he found singapore? No
Did he bring up the poor? No
Did he changed PAP to make them accountable and be transparent? No
Is he paid Millions to be a foreign minister..Yes, the most expensive foreign minister in this region and perhap in this world. No big deal if he retire now, Singaporean had been looking at retirement at 65yo and forget all about the 55yo age which is an international standard.
It is just his lackeys that are claiming his "niceness" since he is gone.
They have to sing this tune so that their present masters will be happy with them.
Cannot left him go with a sour note.
Have to give him some face.
The whole team are the same and arrogant.
They still think they deserved to be in the house cos they are the elite and cream of the society and NO need to serve the commoners.
Let the glass loot leaders do the dirty work.
The glass loot leaders also become rude and snobbish to the residents since they have the backing of their boss.
They also forget to serve the people and expected to be served.
The master and the dogs have both become too proud.
So far, no one got any decency to accept responsibility for failing their duties and all put the blame on the party.
These are the elites who we paid million of dollars for the past five years.

Obviously you did not follow what went wrong during the campaign period.
Started w/ MBT's talk abt the flat prices, then came LTK's challenge over the upgrading program.
As I said, politics is dirty. Prev time LTK whacked GRC this and that and abt upgrading, now he himself challenged abt the upgrading works.
You want to go on bashing, just go ahead.
I never like georgie's team. Period.
She was meant for great things, after all she was the first full woman minister. Anyway, I never liked the sight of her michael jackson entourage accompanying her house calls. Even from block to block, they followed everywhere. Too much self importance accorded.

The 3 Ministers are ok. Even newcomer Ong look decent guy.
Cynthia Phua was the chink in the armour.
She looks more like a HDB aunty to me than a GM.
Good riddance, she is gone. hahahahah. one by one quitting from PAP. They must have sensed a huge storm coming.

What she did show me that she should not be my mp in serangoon gardens. Are workers part volunteers less human? Wake up lim hwee hwa. Residents support Pap but they chose workers’ party because of you! Don sound so nobl. And push the blame tp Pap
Can see it in her face.

She is snobbish, heartless and yucky. I will not forget her reply on cyclist and pedestrian issue on using the pedestrian walkway. Shirking the govt's responsibility on this is her style of responding. Pui!
Serves her right that she lost. hip hip hooray!

Tell us which other countries' govt shamelessly pay themselves highest salary in the world and do an below the average job?
Even OBama who is the PResident for US serving US and taking care of the world is not paid that much.
Between disliking lim or cynthia, strangely i dislike lim more.
