Ktglfc Hypersonic May 25, 2014 Share May 25, 2014 After the recent blogger incident, at least some positive news for us :) Hopefully we can see more debates on benefits for Singaporeans first :) TODAY http://tdy.sg/Syr4ad - A group shot of seven of the founding members of Singaporeans First. Tan Jee Say said the party differ from other opposition parties in that they focus on specifics, such as economy. He added that the party also has the advantage of someone like hinself who knows a lot more about the economy. SINGAPORE — Mr Tan Jee Say, former presidential candidate, has announced the formation of a new political party, Singaporeans First, which pledges to put "Singaporeans at the heart of the nation".

1fast1 Supersonic May 25, 2014 Share May 25, 2014 Sounds like SDP-lite. I believe Ang Yong Guan stood for SDP in the last GE. I do wish they'd stop splitting the oppo votes this way. At the very least, I hope they never compete with another Oppo party in the same ward/GRC. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, I hope they never compete with another Oppo party in the same ward/GRC. They must strategise their plans and yes, compete at diff wards, and probably different areas, e.g. North, South, East and West. Opp need to be united, or at most, united in front of the ppl. Also, they need to attract quality ppl. Rmb, once saw someone called "Snake" registering as candidate. I almost puke seeing his face 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladykillerz 4th Gear May 25, 2014 Share May 25, 2014 (edited) It is good to see that there is another opposition party willing to take a step ahead to challenge for the country, for the people. i do read some negative remarks about it but i am wondering that if you dare to criticize, are you capable to form a party, an opposition party to challenge? talk is free; no ballers are plenty. hope to see more coming in and more voices for the people especially for the needy. :) to add on, i don't care who governed the country. i only know that the current party is sucking us dry way too much. it is time to put a stop. get another party to lead, perhaps suck lesser? Haha. Edited May 25, 2014 by Ladykillerz 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not those loud hailer type sprouting rubbish and then kana sure and go bankrupt.. Oppo needs more brain power, plain and simple lah. Preeze lah, argue with substance, motivation and wit ... so far all oppo generally lacking on these dimensions. These loud hailer types, spewing utter rubbish, stirring sh!t and amplifying their deep-rooted hatred ... how to give them our votes liddat? So easily discredited and written off early in election campaigns, time after time. The electorate today is very different from the 60s, much more sophisticated. They never learn, do they? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
