Is like Singapore fans cheering for Malaysia in Malaysia Cup. How do we decide what the term fan really means?

Is like supporting the self proclaimed Feminist Mentor in the AWARE saga when one belongs to the old guard fighting against equality.

Is like preaching the importance of and standing as a total vegan to others, whilst be seen exercising the free will during lunchtime, sipping down a bowl of beef noodle soup, upsized.

Is like being a monk, priest or ordained holy man, driving around in a BMW, holding a Prada wallet, buying properties and having a 24/7 personal companion for special “needs”.

Maturity? Yeah Right! zzz

A downright SPY.

” Day vigilance ah, night vigilance ah. Home thief very hard vigilance ah!”

Fashion king Saint Laurent dies

“Yves Saint Laurent, considered by many as the greatest fashion designer of the 20th Century, has died in Paris at the age of 71. ”

Yaw Shin Leong has the same initials as Yves Saint Laurent = YSL.
This could be a bad omen for Yaw Shin Leong.

The Crow – Bearer of Bad News.

1. YSL campaigning as a candiate against PAP while voting for PAP as a voter.

2. YSL would consider voting for PAP even if it’s against his own WP comrade.

What’s wrong with you? What has it got to with Dr. Chee’s fielding strategy or announcement timing.]

You’re making things worse for YSL even if you’re trying to do him a favour.

“Even if SDP had known before the Nomination Day about the fielding of Khaw Boon Wan at Sembawang, how can Chee, being a responsible leader in the Opposition, be so reckless in making his decision based on unconfirmed information at such an early stage?”

In the same GE 2006, WP had been talking about fielding a team for the Sembawang GRC but it pulled out at the last minute, probably because of its desire to avoid a three-corner fight, as SDP’s had also fielded a team to contest in the Sembawang GRC at the very last minute.

In addition, did the PAP publicly announced that they would field Dr Teo Ho Pin in Bukit Panjang before Nomination Day? Or, was it only privately known to Yaw Shin Leong at that point in time when he was making his decision, two weeks prior to Nomination Day?

Even if Yaw Shin Leong had known before the Nomination Day about the fielding of both Dr Teo Ho Pin (PAP) and Mr Ling How Doong (SDP) at Bukit Panjang, how can he, being a responsible leader in the Opposition, be so reckless in making his decision based on unconfirmed information at such an early stage?

And how did his mother came to know of the information and made the same decision as him, and also conveyed to him her decision at that early stage, during Dr Teo’s visit? Or had he arbitrarily made the decision on behalf of his mother, over-riding his mother’s personal right to vote for whoever she so wished?

No voters can be so sure as to who will stand in which constituency until Nomination Day. Even the Elections Department itself cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information on candidate vis-a-vis constituency until Nomination Day. The only way to confirm the information is on the Nomination Day itself. And as a politician and Organising Secretary of the Workers’ Party, Yaw Shin Leong should be very well versed in this matter, is it not?

I rest my case.

CO.

It’s actually quite an ironic thing you said.

I broadly sympathise with YSL’s position on voting, although on balance I disagree with it (but that’s for another time maybe), and I definitely think he was naive in revealing it in the first place.

The ’small improvement’ which gave you a credible ‘feel’ that you referred to was the WP fielding during the last elections right? Because I don’t see how revealing that he voted for the PAP candidate was any improvement!

We should make a difference between the two cases. YSL and the rest of the WP candidates have given, broadly speaking, a more ‘credible feel’ to many s’poreans during the last elections. But to many others including myself who hold a different principle, voting for the incumbent party’s guy was not credible. Or worse, revealing it voluntarily (as far as I know).

I came to praise him, not to bury him.
As an up-and-coming aspiring politician, he is dead as a door nail, politically speaking, come GE2011.

I am probably one of the many Singaporean who hope to see a group of strong opposition being field in an election to give positive contrary views to the ruling party. However, I’m disappointed every election because all opposition parties including WP cannot give us the credible feel. But good to see WP have some very small improvement.

If Yaw is seeing this comment, I hope he will keep it up and do the right thing. I don’t know him but this posting had given me a better feel about WP.

To Marcus and the likes: You people are dangerous.

There is nothing wrong Yaw votes for Teo. Ling How Doong himself was with Dr Chee when they kicked the opposition chairman out. How can he expect opposition members or even myself to vote for him? If I were to vote, I’d also not vote for Ling.

“kingfisher on May 22nd, 2008 10.28 pm If this happened in the PAP, you can be sure the ‘traitor’ would be sacked!

Remember, LKY passed a parliamentary law that required MPs who crossed the floor to the Opposition bench would have to resign from PAP and their seats and vacate them for by-election.”
—————————————————————————

To Kingfisher’s kinda thinking…

Nosense… When has Yaw become PAP or a MP???

Traitor for a good course is never a traitor. Voting in a rubbish is a traitor to the state. I really hate this sort of nosensical party politics. It’s going to drive Singapore to the hellhole.

Sigh… power struggle in such manner… How can Singapore not be finish in time?

Failure to be decisive on this issue will be WP’s achilles’ heel and political baggage. ACT NOW!

YAW SHIN LEONG CANNOT REMAIN IN WP. Lets challenge him to stand as an independent candidate in the next GE.

Holland-Bukit Timah likely to get woman PAP candidate
Holland-Bukit Timah likely to get woman PAP candidate

Residents have expressed a wish for a female MP in the all-male MP GRC

………………………………….

The Singapore Democratic Party has said it will field its chairman
Ling How Doong in Bukit Panjang and indicated interest in
Holland-Bukit Timah, but has not named candidates for the GRC.

If what you said is true, you just open a can of worms for WP. YSL is none other than a [deleted by moderator] PAP Mole. He is out to destroy WP and opposition. To discredit and disarray the opposition by claiming PAPpies MP is the best choice before he even know SDP Mr Ling is standing against him. Now that more cat is out of the bag, I am watching what WP and the committee is handling the issue of YSL greatest stupidity. A non-action by WP is going to be a political disavantage to them in the long term. A big liabilites they are going to bear for the next election. PAP must be having a good laugh and enjoying free publicity with a good no. of letters to ST from ball carrying dogs claiming YSL is doing right. Bad day for the opposition.

FG

Dr Teo, Mayor of the North West district, had known that WP candidate Yaw Shin Leong was going to vote for him, even before Nomination Day in the 2006 General Election (GE).

When The New Paper called him yesterday to find out if he knew about Mr Yaw’s vote, Dr Teo replied matter-of-factly: ‘He told me himself, when I visited him at a block visit before the GE that he and his mother were going to vote for me.’

Unquote.

That was a couple of weeks before nomination day. The fact remains that Yaw Shin Leong had already decided for himself and for his mother to vote for Dr Teo Ho Ping two weeks before Nomination Day.

How did Yaw Shin Leong know that Mr Ling How Doong or Dr Teo Ho Ping was going to contest at Bt Panjang SMC in the first place?

Isn’t it quite clear to all of us that at that point in time, his comparison between Mr Ling How Doong and Dr Teo Ho Ping could not have arisen yet?

Therefore, Yaw Shin Leong’s explanation for voting for the PAP cannot stand.

Given you, who will you vote for?

Yaw and his WP team for AMK GRC?

Get real, Yaw will never ever able to beat the PAP Team with PM Lee in it, based on his own reasoning.

Then why need to contest in the first place?

Unless you Adrain like to make an honest assessment on why 33% plus citizens residing in AMK GRC voted for Yaw and his WP team?

Credibility? Ability? Courageous? Stupidity?

On whose part? Candidates or Citizens?

WP TEAM
Abdul Salim Bin Harun
Gopal Krishnan
Han Su May
Lee Wai Leng
Tan Kian Hwee Melvin
Yaw Shin Leong

PAP TEAM
Inderjit Singh
Lam Pin Min
Lee Bee Wah
Lee Hsien Loong
Sadasivan Balaji
Wee Siew Kim

It is the right thing to vote someone whom he feel can take care of his ward better and someone who is credible enough to represent the citizens in Parliament.

If the opposition is good enough in that ward, then the result will be shown by the votes they receive.

I have more respect for WP after seeing this post. But to be seen as credible, they will need to work really hard…

Sadly, based on their inaction or lack of affirmative action, the so called LEADERSHIP quality in LTK has now been questioned by me.

In my eyes now, LTK is not a LEADER but only an efficient Town Council Estate Manager in Hougang ONLY, SL is no LEADER also but a proficient Poly Lecturer that is good in theory only…… sort of NATO type!

Just go over to the P65 website and read what will be the action taken by Dr Lam if Yaw will to be his party cadre…… effectively Yaw will be shown the way to the door immediately, if Dr Lam has his way.

Time to act, WP!

Or you might not only destroy your own party credibility but also bring down the others opposition party in a worst case scenerio as well.
