WP can always be transparent n get the other party member to address the truth since Yaw refused to say anything. Imo, they are not entirely transparent especially the other gal is also WP member

 

 

Transparency alread very good if u compared to MIW.

 

On the scale of accountability, they are like heaven and earth difference. On one hand, an MP is accused of infidelity and let just say he affects his own family. Contrast to home Minister letting terrorist run off, the implication could have been a disaster for innocent lives, our international image, our attractiveness as a holiday or investment destination etc.

 

One got sacked. One still sitting around like Tua Peh Kong and act like nothing happened.

 

People really need to look at things in perspective. Dun hear reports about what WP has disappointed the voters etc.

I think this by election is a good "referendum" on how PAP government has performed over the last 7 months...

 

Yes, i do agree that this B/E could be a good indicator of what the achievement were attain after last May on the new government. However, look from comments street-wise, predicted to be higher winning margin for WP, what do you all think?

shallow voters look at individual's mistake and not voting on national level interest.

Yes, after this whole saga is over, LTK can tell everyone in the Parliament that WP sack one MP due to his personal infidelity and not due to unable to perform his duties as an MP, whereas PAP let the person who can't perform his duties as a Minister to remain as Minister. Where is the accountability??

the idea is for it not to work, so got ammo to shoot the PM for not being responsive to ground sentiment.

I agree with you. Since when PM will really bother about such trivial matter? He probably turn a blind ear and eye to such issue. Wait long long.

Somehow this forum always manages to turn the arguments against MIW..... I was expecting discussions on whether YES or NO to a by-election would best benefit the MP-Less Hougang residents.... but... its all about which party wins the game. Hehe....atypical..... here in MCF

[Babyt]

by election or not, WP will still win. revote for what. LOL

The feedback so far from internet and news are showing positive support to WP and LTK for doing it right. The gound sentiment is still very pro WP.

The results of the by-election shall be a preview of the 2016 election

If PM is smart, he should immediately arrange for a day to meet up with LTK & Sylvia in his office, discuss whether there is a need for a by-election, if WP can manage the work load , then no by-election is needed. There should be a 2 way communication and PM should respect WP and the Hougang's resident decision.

 

[laugh] You really funny!

yea overall its still way better than the way miw handle transparency

[Toothiewabbit]

I am convinced WP will win if contested. The pple of this SMC are a hardened lot, they are not easily swayed by scandals.

Don't worry, he ain't that smart.

Sitting down with WP to discuss is almost as good as lowering his pride and admitting defeat even before a fight.

In whatever way, it's a hard decision. He can drag longer until the all the recent screw ups die down, but also taking a risk of another bigger screw up later by don't know which organisation.

Too bad, after the elections, many other policies/incidents were implemented to make people feel even more disgruntled.

You're right. I never believed all the words he has said. He is just a human not a saint. How smart can he be... if he is that smart, PAP won't have screwed up singapore now by allowing so many foreign trashes to come in at the expense of the locals and not forgetting other problems they have created. So many social problems have happened at public places all because of those foreigners. Wasting tax payers money and also screwed up the child policy and asked us to have more kids now... now it's political issues making a big hooha in our country.
