X 2. I wish there'll be an election this time round. At least we'll have our holiday?Originally posted by FireIce:i jus waiting for them to declare the holiday....... -
Hyuga Neji was asking about a Eurasian Prezzie, but I don't mind Sim Wong Hoo. If CST didn't manage to hold on to Potong Pasir at the last GE, I would've liked him to throw his hat into the presidential polls.Originally posted by LazerLordz:What about Sim Wong Hoo? -
CST does not qualify leh... MP alone isn't enough to meet the requirements to stand for Presidential Election.Originally posted by iveco:Hyuga Neji was asking about a Eurasian Prezzie, but I don't mind Sim Wong Hoo.

NO Public Holiday!

How do you know it's him? What if it's Abdullah Tarmugi, the Speaker of Parliament? The latter is also a likely candidate.Originally posted by cornyfish2000:I think it's gonna be a Tony Tan walkover... which means:
