Low Thia Kiang is a good opposition, passionate and diligent, but he is not very smart. Look at his insurance analogy. Maybe now he realizes it is not a good one. Why not just say: We want to form the government in the long run. Support us. Give us the opportunity.
I think he gave little thought to his manifesto too. His price-of-new flats suggestion would definitely lower the prices of existing flats. Now the WP has to feebly defend it.
Mr Low doesn’t have the courage to go out of his Hougang comfort zone. If he had done that five years ago, probably the WP would have got a GRC already.
Chee Soon Juan was the ‘star catch’ of Chiam See Tong who was later ousted from the party he founded by his star-catch. Chee has been called a liar and a cheat. But he didn’t do anything about it. Why? Because he champions America-style democracy. You can defame anyone and you won’t be sued. Maybe he also approves gay marriage and allowing people in Singapore owning guns.
He also disapproves of certain laws. Instead of trying to convince people, get himself into parliament to try to change these laws, he intentionally broke the laws.
Mr Chee has not changed. He and his party still want to bring down our system, only that they don’t want to shout about it during the election period.
If there were a three-corner fight between Low, Chee and Tin Pei Ling, I would support Pei Ling, the courageous young woman who stands up for Singapore.
