>Alex Au did a survey in his Yawning Bread blog. The survey is about how voters feel about opposition parties.

>A big gamble by Low Thia Khiang’s WP and a big win too. Finally, after more than twenty years of GRC in place, which is designed to keep PAP in power, the barrier has been breached. This will be a psychological boost for the next GE for the opposition, especially for the WP.
Here are my thoughts about the 2011 GE in general. Read the rest of this entry »

Next, let’s look at Lim Boon Heng, “moved” by the fact that the Casino, which he initially purports he objects only to admit he supported it later, is funding his million dollar pay. He is also “moved” by the fact that lowly paid workers have been funding his luxury lifestyle through GST. Read the rest of this entry »
