No leh.... but cannot be gov official footing the bill. Either Sam Goi or Su.

Photo didn't show him eating the whole dinner.... Only showing him hold a rock glass for photoshoot. So he can say he appeared late....罚酒三杯

At least we know even without them WP's margin wouldn't surpass PAP, makes you feel better.

If tempines margin can be a barometer for the nation than PAP would be getting 50% to 55% instead of 65%.

Still barometer?

Talk easy, where to find enough good new candidates? And where to find resources? You provide ah?

Why 刘备die die also don't want to return荆州? 

The only way to stop gerrymandering the areas is to link them up, and only after taking everything in-between what they have now and Pasir Ris-Changi, including punggol and east coast can WP block it totally. And only then can they decide if they want to expand via the north, the south, or break it going through bishan-toa payoh and holland-bukit timah. 

CCK, west Coast will be the last to see blue, if WP ever expand there. 

If PAP TP weaken as the years goes, going center-south towards the west will be a better chance than going  from center-north. 

This one is use brain, not use mouth talk one hor. [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

The big guns won't even move out of Aljuined GRC, you asking them to be bold and move out to the west? You political study from which country one ah? [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

 

 

To add, the WP leadership slate today has also lost a couple of their good leaders.. from Leon to potentially now Faisal.. yes they have some potential ones like Gerald Giam, HTR, Louis and Jamus to front the new generation of leadership but would take some time to build them up too. 

The recent plan to bring in Harpreet and some newbies like Micheal and Eileen didn't work out and it's definitely a dent to new succession plans. But the fight continues through the ncmp route. It's however different for ncmp as the allowance is very low and doesn't allow one to commit as fully. 

Also.. one also cannot deny that once a party becomes too big, control becomes difficult. There are human politics at play. I'm sure all these are in PS's calculation. If ones takes time to observe the dynamics during the rallies, you can already tell there are different cliques within the party, some less supportive of others. In PAP, the same applies too and as a bigger party, that's a big challenge for LW when the fight for power becomes more intense. He is lucky to have 15/19 pushing him up for the PM position. I'm sure prior to COVID, the choice for CCS/OYK/HSK/NCM left the party divided on who to chose. 

Based on my own guess, I think SXL is likely to be DPM in waiting. LW has signalled the importance of female representation in parliament and this should be soon. Having DPM Gan and SXL as his deputies would make his slate more robust.

During the covid period of 2020-2021, many internship programs had no pay, quite a lot were only given a transport allowance of between $50-$150. 

My daughter managed to get her final term internship with a local film for a $500 pay, while many of her classmates had no pay, only transport allowance. But then, her working hrs were madness. -_- [laugh] [laugh]

 

That was an exceptional time during Covid ……. Many were not even paid wages and closed down ….. but to make a political statement like this guy Sharad Kumar is akin to  “ saying more than 50% are not paid”  , yes internship is to learn new things and preps. for real life and it’s a jungle out there ……. Survival of the fittest ……. Gone are the rock n roll days or Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 of the 80’s

Whoever thinks being in GEP makes them special and destined for great things will be in for a rude awakening 🙈

Agreed.. plus GEP only tested a narrow definition of intelligence.

There are many other forms of intelligence that can be also important, like creative intelligence that can seed entrepreneurship, innovation... practical intelligence like problem solving in real world and of course ... EQ aka emotional intelligence e.g empathy, strong interpersonal skills.

These different types of intelligence are not mutually exclusive and some have a mixture of them. Just adding that we cannot allow some to feel gifted and entitled simply because they are good in math or some pattern recognition. There are other talents to be appreciated and developed too.

That's also why the GEP has been modified and updated today.

You mean 25% all voted for WP? 

If I remembered correctly PAP also got a malay culture MP or minister some sort.

Right or wrong?

Why could it not be barometer then?

You mean regardless of racist is merely of slogan? We vote base on race? That was myopic to justify your view base on colour. 

Tampines is a good barometer given it is a new grc. Both sides also got different race group in their slate. I thought society has evolved to not vote on race. 

Don't be too quick to brush off other views. Can agreed to disagree. 

Using your views of 25% malay demographic that mean Chinatown should be base on chinese?

Rough sentiments online (albeit may not be the full picture) indicates that Masagos is not very popular among Malay community.

25% is a significant number 

Say if 85% of the 25% voted on those lines and only 35% of the rest of the 75% voted the other way, that would come up to some 48%. My point too is Tampines results are not a good barometer of how the general population votes where the concerns are more general.
