Continuing my earlier point on holding out for a hero, well, the last real heroes died with Cheng San in 1997. Those of you who were at Yio Chu Kang Stadium during that glorious night 10 years ago, you will know that nothing now compares to back then. When the J man spoke, everyone listened. And when the Tang man rose, we rose with him. That was how it was back then. Don’t need no Hong Lim Park, just pure charisma. These were the heroes….

Welcome back, nice to see that you are back from the sewer system again spewing another new round of rubbish.

“No wonder TOC is still classified as immature and unprofessional blog. May be only a step better than Ah Beng & Ah Kow blog.”

Like it has been mentioned quite a number of times before, why are mature people like you still here in “this immature and unprofeesional blog.”

Surely, good, cultured and classy people like you would not want to be contaminated by immature and unprofessional comments here.

“Come on. Be more open. Let it be a forum for all S’poreans to express opinions, frustrations, unhappinese to the present environment, suggestions for improvments and whatever political inclinations. Do not just hide underneath the skirts and write to leverage attacks on other people opinions using “funny names”. Be Brave. Use your true name, the name your father and your grandfather gave it to you or otherwise you may not have a name as though you are a “bastard”.”

Now you are beginning to show temper and frustrations. Have you ever thought of the temper and frustrations that other people may have gone through also because of certain rules. Here, TOC rules apply lah. You have “conquered” enough public space already, be kind and generous enough to leave this little TOC space alone. Please please please we need your help. Phewwwwww !!!!!

Just got back from vacation and wowee, I must have missed a lot of the action. Gee folks, you don’t even take a break, do you all?

Back to the subject on the state of the opposition right here in good old Singapore. You know, we got no figurehead like what they have in other countries, the kind of person that fires the imagination of the people, savvy enough to know the system inside out and go mano-e-mano with the big guy. The nearest best example is Anwar Ibrahim. Man got his flaws alright, but he sure made life hell for UMNO and threw Abdullah Badawi under the bus. As the Bonnie Tyler song goes, I’m holding out for a hero.

What garmen law lah. You still have not answered me this question. Need permit or not. You know 4-men assembly. Use your brain. What talking you.

Even cycling in big group may get you into trouble if trouble wants to find you.

“Ordinary people education not as high as you clever smart [---deleted by moderator---] who talk so cheemology ang mo. Wa buay hiao tiah. Lim-peh have simple ambitions, like children got education, got money pay bills, got people to listen to my problems.”

Glad that you are admitting that ‘Wa buay hiao tiah’ cheemology as you are behaving like a fool. Good that you keep on having simple ambitions so that your masters can keep their own ambitions high. They need people like you to provide the right balance.

“People like you smart [---deleted by moderator---] look down on people like us because we no speak ang mo well. Why?”

Who is looking down on people like you lah. You need to have your head examined for having all the unnecessary hallucinations.

“Because my children got bursary and I no need worry for their school. I no care where money come from. If opposition is serious, then they should start taking action and no need [---deleted by moderator---] to talk talk talk. Understand anot?”

I am glad your children have earned their bursary. I am afraid to say that you, ahem, have yet to earn your own take.

If oppositions do not talk talk talk (communicate) in order to be heard (gain visibility), you think you have super bionic ears to hear and know it meh. Understand anot? Can oppositions put their own banners ?

Competition is good for all citizens.

Got competition then got emerge good candidates.

chinese saying : ai biah zaht eh ngia

to be honest, I have always found it incomprehensible why for the last several decades the Opposition or alternative parties never formed an alliance to give the giant a run for the money? kind of incomprehensible. I wonder the why.
Its unwise not to work together.
Its almost surely defeat if go alone.
thus, given its so obvious,
I wonder what is the real motives to go alone.

The Alternative Party( SDA, WP, SDP, NSP, RP) must united.
They should focus to avoid three corner fight.
All the constituency will be fill with candidates.
No walk over.

Voters than can vote with their eyes open.
No Mini Bond saga.
No increase in GST from 3% to 5% to 6% to 7% now 8.5%.
No increase in transport MRT, BUSES, SCHOOL BUS, STUDENT FARE.
No increase in ERP.
No increase in INCOME TAX.
Transperancy from Town Council.

Lim peh, pls refrain from using vulgarities, even if they’re spelt differently. Tks.

The article is about the opposition parties in 2009. I do not know how the discussion has become about TOC’s requirement for commenters to fill in their email addresses. Thus, your comments were disallowed – along with others – as they do not have anything to do with the article.

But to answer the question of anonymity and the email address issue:

Anonymity is preserved as we do not know who is behind the nicks – unless the owner of the handle tells us himself or herself.

As for the email address requirements, there are times when we need to contact the commenter about things he or she said. We have done this several times over the last two years as we needed to verify certain things with the commenters.

TOC has thus far been more liberal in allowing comments. We do not require registration before commenting and we allow all comments (save those with vulgarities and other content) to be posted before we moderate them.

Rest assured that TOC does not collect or collate the information given through your emails or other sources. We simply do not have time – nor interest – to do that.

Lastly, let me say that we require comments to be related to the issues raised in the article simply for the benefit of everyone. We do not want the discussion to deviate and tangent off to totally unrelated issues. The discussion will then become cumbersome and tedious for those who want to discuss issues raised in the article.

I ask for everyone’s understanding.

Economy problems ? Ask those who are getting magical high pay to suggest / solve it lah. More pay should have more magic lah. When opposition gets majority, they will become the ones to issue scholarships lah. Anyway, it’s taxpayers money lah.

Even if opposition gives good suggestions, will it get highlighted in the MSM ? I do not know leh.

“Only when election then I see opposition people appear and give out flyer outside MRT. Normal days where got see them? ”

Normal days, must get permit or not. Can they market themselves by putting their own banners in estates.

“Ordinary people ang mo no good, don’t want people talk big and talk cock. Got time, talk something got make sense one, no need what big vision, manifestos and other bo liao things.”

You better stay ordinary lah. That is what some people would love to have. See bursary or scholarship distributed out and you will sing song for the whole day.

~~~~~ stay safe
tip #1: use fake email address abc@xyz.com
tip #2: use anonymous web proxy (google for list)

……
Phantom servers from HK to Munich right up to Copenhagen kicked in and re-routed the information traffic. They kept the network and the traffic moving by piggy bagging on banking and air traffic control networks. They even used the Kerajaan optical highway lines in putrajaya. The Malaysians definitely had help. They couldnt have done it alone. BN didnt know what hit them, they got pearl harbored so badly.
……

so, you mean other countries by now would have understood how the battle was won in MY and would have come up with other attack strategies already lor?

i think the trick is the ISP.

lucky some ISP never shutdown wan. install patches and then reboot. better network control and monitor.

would you cared to norminate a better class?
since you think it a song and dance contest?
the techgheephuat young opposition team
not good enough?
not braved enough?
some even mocked the indian candidates as porkchop nervous chewcheng kaki?
what do you expect
have you ever start your 1st driving test?
or your 1st deflowered session?
ain’t you chewcheng YOUSELF?
for a young opposition team to garner 33% of the oppositioins team
is good
damned good
in other europeans countries
you would be lucky if you garner a 105 votes for 1sttimers
than again
what would you know regarding the
MINIMUM qualification
to be eligible for elections in singapore?
would you?
cared to point out?
