By your name (suspicious) may not be good..(Just Kidding). 
I didn't say anything that you had mentioned. I mean there is a proper procedures which our friends got very interested with (Reason - frankly I don't know). The procedure is not a secret, can refer to the bill for detail - I think.
I am not a lawyer, here the word - statutes bit deep and nothing to do with whatsoever new amendment ......
What I had keep repeated was "voting is secret" that all.
No offence. -
I truely ask the question "whose order made it so?"I really don't know who gave the order so i can't imply GCT.Of course,that person should be a PAP man.Originally posted by PRP:When CSJ asked GCT: "Where is our money?"Since then,newspapers published all ugly photo of CSJ.Whose order made it so?Like that,how could he win elections? -
Because of the election procdures favouring PAP,so I think the 75% of votes PAP got in last G.E. might be just 60% or so by right.

Wong Kan Seng called on the oppostion to introduce its candidates so it would be fair.See,PAP also want fair election.Opposition,what are u afraid of?

Never heard the chinese saying: "good thing always come later". Hence worthed the wait lah..why hurry -
The opp. should introduce its candidates early so they can be 'vetted' by PAP.Otherwise,when they had stood for election,then .....

Just on PP and HG alone:
SM mentioned PM asked him to help.
MM mentioned PM never asked him.
PM already got the final decision.
MM is his natural father, PM must respect him. -
Personally how I felt........PAP should keep up with their effort in convincing voters to give more votes to them of their concerted effort that had been putting in building of singapore and giving better lives in future to come. But........as professionals in PAP, I think they should not despising the oppositions in that manner. Instead, PAP should tell, show and prove how genuine they are to help those people that are fallen behind. But todate...I haven't seen any genuine help to the lower income people or the unemployment of the ageing populations. They rather bring in new blood from overseas.
Why I say that...One example....in many ways they can help by lowering the rates of utilities charges to people whom live in different types of housing. Of course...if you tell LKY about this..he will suppress you down first before you could urgue further. -

According to 2001's voting guide, the valid reasons for not voting are:
* Working or studying overseas during the election;
* Being on a business trip overseas;
* Living with a spouse who is working or studying overseas;
* Holidaying abroad; and
* Being sick during the election.
On a seperate topic, when SM Goh seyz that election is on the first 2 weeks of May, and considering the fact that nowadays, voting are held on Sat.. that basically leaves 6th of May.. as the 13th May period is a long weekend with 12th May (Fri) as Vesak Day.. and as typical Singaporeans..a significant bulk of this will (or has already) planned to go for a short trip overseas... so it's unlikely that election would hit right smack in the middle of the long weekend. My prediction logical? -

You can predicted or hear SM saying any dates. Ultimiately, PM decide. Hence let hear for the only one that can decide.

Actually, come to think of it, which clause in the Parliamentary Elections Acts prescribes any form of "appropriate dressing" for candidates submitting election papers?Originally posted by anonymouscoward:Do PAP candidates wear slippers to submit their election papers? Was the DPP candidate at fault for not having the basic courtesy and respect to be dressed appropriately?
Let's examine both sides of the coin.

Mod upgrades this topic to here but closed my topic "show of support for fair election".

My inside new is that Voting Day will be on 6 May 2006.
My hunch is that if PAP ever wins back Hougang and Potong Pasir, the election boundaries will be redrawn in such a way that no opposition will ever win it again.
Your vote matters. -
An election is an solemn and serious affair. What are u telling the public by wearing slippers to the election centre? That this is just an normal routine for u, as normal as going down to ur house downstairs hawker centre?Originally posted by PRP:The local newspapers is controlled by the govt (PAP man is the chairman of SPH).That's the problem.Can u expect them to be fair always?
I don't see anything wrong to wear slipper to submit election form.He felt it is comfortable.Do u want ppl to wear coat for that occasion?
Also, in regards to another post, i don't see why the government should provide for a good opposition. The opposition themselves can jolly well fend for themselves. it is like asking MNCs to give money, or to provide support to campaigns launched by their competitors. The opposition cannot attract people of calibre to join them, that's their problem. -
Wearing slippers to polling station doesn't mean that chap was a lousy candidate.Wearing a tie doesn't mean the person is a good candidate.
Why other coutries have strong opposition but we don't have?It has something relate to the govt. -

the real thing tat we people care is how would tat guy wif slippers be different from as-usual PAP candidate, wad he can do to help us better.
if PAP can do better to show their fairness to opposition, there wouldn't be so much flaming. this thread wouldnt be created also. rite? -
The comparison with an MNC is laughable, we're talking about a nation, not a corporation.
Oops..forgot we're Singapore Inc.
