 Anyone but Tharman.

However, there is only one winner.

How to work out a solution for non-establishment candidates? 


For people who don’t like the PAP, anyone but Tharman is a valid statement.  If people prefer an independent president, even if they are pro-PAP, they will object to Tharman as a choice. 


Again, the same people also do not want to see the repeat of 2011.  More than 50% of Singaporeans do not want to see the 2011 replay. 


A divided and separated voting pattern preferring own candidates will ensure 2011 happening again.  This is the game plan of the PAP.  A divided non-establishment votes will disappoint most Singaporeans.


Most people still think Tharman is not independent even if he claimed to have an independent mind.  His intelligence and wisdom may be of good use in setting visions, directions, strategies or international image of Singapore.  

How can a prime minister material person fit into a ceremonial role of president?  It is not clear why Tharman made the decision?  A smart person who can only call out respect for all.  The irony is the government he is associated with is not respecting all Singaporeans, especially those who oppose their policies, having different views.


We must understand that there is only one winner in 2023.  To make ‘anyone but Tharman’ valid, candidates will have to work together and be willing to make sacrifices.  Otherwise, voters will have to distinguish who is the likely winner and concentrate all the votes to him.


The repeat of 2011 is real and highly possible. Is this what we want? Will we make the PAP laugh (at us) again?

Sub-standard PAP and the Singapore education system

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition. My original aim is to discuss about “Su Dongbo, Zhang Juzheng and Singapore education system”. The discussion will end with a sub-standard PAP, in particular from the assessment of the quality of PAP potential candidates. Another policy shift is to discuss it like a play, a drama and make it more entertainment rather than a sub-standard political discussion. Act 1 Gangster’s demand Imagine a sense in the Hong Kong's gangster movie (or a godfather movie), the gangsters' master is shouting at his poor opponent and demand him to give a price for his wrong act. The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting

After 60 years, after 3 failed political imaginations, the PAP is deteriorating...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party.  This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central.   To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes.    How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By inserting a single c
