Action items for Joo Chiat SMC
I have often been asked in my walkabouts what I would like to do for Joo Chiat. I like to start by saying that I do not promise anything on physical upgrading. Any physical improvement should first be something wanted by and necessary for the residents. Then we can work with the relevant authorities to look into the …
Reverse freak result – zero opposition members
PAP leaders warned of freak result of losing the PAP as government should voters decide to just throw their lot in with opposition because they want alternative voices. Now there’s a real danger there could be a freak result the other way – that there will be no elected opposition member of parliament now that …

The fear factor, Singapore style
I never realised how much fear there is out there amongst Singaporeans until I experienced the General Elections first-hand. Since I was first captured by the media in early April in the walkabouts in Nee Soon and Joo Chiat with the WP, many friends have called, SMSed or emailed me to congratulate me on my …
Heads I win, tails you lose
When my children were younger, I would sometimes trick them with “Heads I win, tails you lose” when we flipped a coin. I can never lose, of course! On 23 April, Education Minister Ng Eng Hen warned of the possibility of a freak result and even a change in government as one can never know how others are voting. When …

Spoiling your vote? Think carefully!
I have reconnected with many long lost friends as a result of my campaigning. Met Ms X, a fellow student councillor from Temasek Junior College. We have been neighbours in the same estate for years and we did not know it! We spoke about old friends and about the upcoming elections. Our discussion drifted into the quality …
I still fail to understand why there cannot be 2 quality teams
Once again, PM Lee has said that Singapore will not have 2 quality teams (Straits Times, 22 April 2011). He cited that even with their access to all the talents in the country, the PAP has difficulties in finding people for certain jobs. Perhaps PM Lee has not noticed that quality people are coming out of late in increasing …
