This is vote buying already. Actually this kind of makes me look down on Subhas whom I had high respect for in the past. Shame on him to align himself so closely to the ruling party.

I hope he does.

 

We need a clown to ease the tension.

[Jolie888]

Very good ... this will dilute the opposition votes by at least 20%, if not more.

Coupled with the YSL stigma, WP may just go slip sliding away!

 

Former Workers Party member and acupuncturist Zeng Guoyuan will be contesting in the Hougang by-election as an independent

 

Zeng was photographed collecting his nomination forms this morning from the Election Department. He was a Workers

Conviction in 2009

 

A BUSINESSMAN who put up banners of escaped Jemaah Islamiah detainee Mas Selamat Kastari without permission was fined a total of $3,000 yesterday.

But Zeng Guoyan chose to go to jail for three weeks instead of paying the fine of $1,000, the maximum, on each of the three charges.

The 56-year-old was convicted by District Judge Jasbendar Kaur after a six-day trial.

 

He won't be cleared to stand for elections.

No, more independents joining in the fray is good!

It will just go to dilute opposition votes.

Then restore PAP back to power at HG!

 

Maintaing status quo is not the answer, if HG residents want to move forward in life.

Change is for the better. We must change, positively, for the good of the majority, in the name of nation building.

 

The other opposition parties know, the people want to see a straight fight between PAP & WP. Any other parties or persons who pokes their noses into this fight will lose their credibility.

 

I hope for Mr Zeng's sake his act is just a publicity stunt and he does not actually submit his papers.

It will not do him any good.

 

In a way, this by-election will be a very strong barometer of public sentiments post-GE2011.

 

Maintaining the status quo (WP wins again) is perhaps in Singapore's best interest.

And I'd say very well done Subhas!

 

This is his way of giving back to society.

His contribution to nation building.

 

He has benefitted lots from tax payers.

Now the people of HG can benefit from his legal expertise!

 

Kudos to that man!

I will drink to it.
