		<description>Why ask why? It&#039;s because we&#039;ve allowed the PAP to get away with everything, its because we&#039;ve not done enough to get such views out to our fellow Singaporeans.</description>

		<description>Mr. Taxxpayers &lt;em&gt;wrote
&lt;/em&gt;
&quot;These seetoh and eric ........If you want are so desperate to be MPs follow MBT way–find a female minister skirt to hide under in a GRC and hope for &lt;strong&gt;walkover&lt;/strong&gt;.&quot;


If SG ban walkovers, then they cannot hope for a easy path to parliament.
Voters are duty-bound to cast their votes regardless whether or not only one party take part in a GRC contest.
the lone contestant must garner more than 50% of the votes cast to win.
if not a by-election will be called.
&quot;Walkovers No More&quot; is SG mantra for the next General Election. </description>

		<description>Need we say more? Is it not obvious? 2 opposition wards being allowed to upgrade together at the same time? Are we suckers or what? All of a sudden, the 2 idiotic PAP losers in the 2 wards appeared again? Constituents from both Potong Pasir and Hougang, embrace the upgrading, enjoy it and when election time comes along (which will be sooner rather than later), tell them to go to hell and elect the opposition into parliament again! You have got to teach these idiots a BIG lesson BIG TIME!!!</description>

		<description>Can someone help refresh my memory again on which are the TCs that lost their bon bons?

Were the bons lost sufficient to cover for the HG &amp; PP lift upgrading?

Can our elites give some credit for the TCs that didn&#039;t lose their bons?</description>

		<description>This new incident shows all singaporeans one thing, HDB, STRAITS TIMES and other institutions are all run by the PAP. And they the government say that they are run independantly.

It&#039;s a slap to the MPs that they are not given due recognition. The PAP has no say in this 2 places. You lost them not once twice but many times over and they still cant take the hint that they dont like the PAP. And for heaven sake have you no shame to try to claim that you have been doing all this for the people!

I salute the people of these 2 towns, well done and continue to show the government that you cannot be bought. You pay the same taxes like all of us and you all should be entitled to the same priviledges and perks that we have all the while been receiving. And the government says this is democracy?

The CEO of HDB should step down for such a boo boo. But wait maybe, maybe in a way there is some link up and just like the CEO of Temasek Holdings, lets move on it.s one of those things again,

Wake up all you singaporeans, the time has come to stand up with solidarity and speak up or we can just forget ever about posting all these comments in the future cos it will be a waste of time reading them anyway.</description>

		<description>If Chiam , THE PEOPLE-ELECTED MP FOR POTONG PASIR, also has access to the same sum of people&#039;s Money, i have no doubt in my mind he would have used it to upgrade the lifts of his residents long long long ago.</description>

		<description>This is a senseless posting.  We can verify if it is true or not.  Even if it is true we do not know the circumstances.  

TOC seem to be going down the gutters to bring Singapore a bad name.

I am saddened and ashamed.  I do not think Singaporeans are like that.</description>

		<description>Singaporeans have to stand up and demonstrate to any leeders that we do have some sense of integrity and justice, and we do not condone pork-barrel politices. 

Not when the favours are bought with OUR OWN MONEY, while the credit for a &quot;job well done&quot; goes back to them!

Always remember to contrast the millions of cold, hard cash our ministers are making every year, versus our &quot;fix&quot; of hundreds of dollars once every five years.</description>

		<description>For your info. Lift upgrading is not free...residents have to pay for it. It&#039;s not as though HDB will forked out tax payer $$$ for it. Even though HDB call it subsidized.

Remember not too long ago,residents got to pay for aluminum window stills rivets to be changes to steel rivets even though it&#039;s clearly a design fault of HDB...</description>

NEW SCHEME???

SO FUTURE UPGRADES WILL BE ANNOUNCED BY OPPOSTION MPs IN EACH TOWN?</description>

		<description>This is what happened when one party stays in power for too long, they will step you weaker opp members all over at the expense of the taxpayers. So, what can we do now? ASK YOURSELF THIS VERY QUESTION NOW!</description>

		<description>If CST retires today and puts a dog in his stead, my vote goes the dog even. PAP? Come on, what a bloody joke. I have never seen Sitoh Yih Pin around since the &#039;96 elections after he got his ass handed to him by CST on the silver platter. Please, LUP? I&#039;ll friggin&#039; climb the stairs if it calls for it. My vote to you? Keep dreaming!</description>

		<description>All the lobbying of LUP are done by the opposition in their wards long ago, what have the losers done in Hougang and PP to have the credit? 

If PAP dont please the voters, you will see the same happening in Japan. Learn from the democrats in Japan and kick out those civil servants who are the dogs of the ruling party.</description>
