I'm proud of hougang giving an even stronger mandate to WP despite their big boss coming to my area to contest. Long live hougang and aljunied, many good years ahead.

% wise, it's abt e same from 2006 if it's for Hougang
Chaim made a mistake by putting his wife there... He should have put a younger guy like Jimmy Lee or Wilfred Leung and pull back Sin Kek Tong into his GRC bid... Cos those 2 can still speak well, his wife is rather useless and she don't even know how to talk... Like this how to ask questions in Parliament? If she takes the NCMP post also a waste of time...
Another thing is, he shouldn't have made it so well known that he is leaving PP way before nomination day... Like this, that Sitoh guy wouldn't be encourage to stay back and go to a GRC instead and there who be a new young bird and not an old hand... See over at Hougang, it was a guessing game all along and LTK only made it known he is leaving on nomination day... Like this, the PAP put a new bird there...
The end of Chiam, and probably the SPP too...
not really....unless they can review and reflect on their mistakes and learn from the success of WP...they do cling on that slim chance...but now, they are totally disintegrated...
it would take them many years even to win a SMC, less to say a GRC...
Kind of feel it is a waste for potong pasir. Really should have chosen a better candidate to fight for that constitency. Can see that many citizens there still want to support the opposition.
the intangible sadness of a nation cannot be seen but sensed in the hearts
3rd time lucky for Sitoh, but Mrs Chiam might get NCMP position.
Hougang stays under WP. Good on the Hammers.
now petition going around for a revote for potong pasir...i heard that even non-residents of potong pasir can join...they need 8000 participants...Lina Chiam may not be out of this yet...
Joo Chiat looks very marginal. Mountbatten looks to be part of this trend too. Will they remain when the next GE comes?

How come Jeanette Aruldoss could still get 42% against Lim Biow Chuan? Is it because Lim openly supported Jack Neo?

60.73%
Lowest margin in a western suburbs constituency. Most seats in this area PAP won by at least 65%.

so not her fault lah
they probably oso angry Mr Chiam went to BTPY
That's why CST fielded Lina there. PP voters to him are like family, so he thought they would support his wife as their representative in the chamber.
LTK played it smart in HGN. He made Yaw look like a successor.
Originally posted by Fcukpap:SDP needs a restructuring in their strategies...they are not there yet as compared to WP..
people will now focus their hopes and aspirations on WP
They need to get rid of CSJ first. However, that man is too egocentric to accept his faults and leave the scene.
The people of potong pasir should just give up on their petition attempt, even if they collected 100000000 signatures, it still means nothing.
If PAP can accept the loss of aljunied GRC, why can't the people of potong pasir? They made their choice, they live with it.
Can't say the same about marine parade though.
PP ppl are CST or nuttin, not even his wife.
are u sure PAP accept their loss of aljunied grc? and let me do the numbers...a govt losing 5 seats to opposition compared to an opposition which lost the only seat it had...which is more valuable and painful???
Originally posted by Seowlah:Lina Chiam will definitely be offered a NCMP post as she is the best loser in this election.
She might take up the post as this will allow SPP to stay in attention with the public BUT she might not perform well in parliament and might become a liability instead to SPP.
I bet CST will still be behind the scenes giving her advice on how to debate intelligently against old farts in white.
Terrible news of the day... Lina Chiam is accepting the NCMP post.
My goodness... She should just forget it lah... Seriously, what can she do in Parliament? Ask stupid questions? If anything, she will only bring the SPP brand even lower if it's not low enough yet...
The SPP just gone down lower in my opinion...
What a waste of time...
SPP has lost their only bastion...potong pasir...
but the offer comes well if she can make the best use of it to give her the exposure she so needed...while concurrrently and urgently, SPP needs to rebuild quickly the core fundamentals of their mission towards the next election
I am not saying they shouldn't take the NCMP post but going to a better and more useful person would be better utilize I feel.
Seriously, if I am being honest, I don't think many of us were impressed with Lina Chiam. So what can she do in Parliament? She can't speak, she can't connect with people, and she is 62 currently and will be 67 when the next one comes along...
She can't even read a prepared speech properly during the party political broadcast... What more do you need to say? I guess she will just sit down and take the salary and do nothing much kind...
If this is the kind of opposition to get into parliament, I think TPL isn't that bad all of a sudden... I rather have TPL than Lina Chiam.
That's why I say it's a waste of time...

I feel the same way. Lina Chiam will not be helpful as WP or Nicole. But the most retarded idiot, if she has empathy for us, is better than the smartest brain working for the other side. Lina cannot offer good debate, but TPL will offer no debate at all. Lina's mind is weak, TPL has no mind of her own.
What about Yee Jen Jung? This guy is untested.
I think he must thank the PRC hookers in Joo Chiat for giving him a back route into the Parliament.
