On the whole Bukit Batok by-election thing... It is well known that Paul Ananth Tambyah is more electable in each and every constituency imaginable in almost every demographic (except old racist Chinese people). How then is the SDP not fielding him? The answer is, CSJ doesn't want to take the risk that PAT will be elected as it would effectively mean relinquishing the Secretary General position to PAT.
Why is he holding on so firmly to it and, in doing so, acting against the interests of the SDP? Being able to position oneself to international organizations as the leader of the "only democratic hope" in Singapore brings with it "resources". I have not seen such resources in the context of the SDP, but on a global scale it is well known that such "grants" exist.
So until nomination day, I propose that anyone with an interest in seeing a sensible opposition voice in Parliament voice their support for Paul Ananth Tambyah.
Paul Ananth Tambyah for Bukit Batok!!
(Don't you like those initials? Doesn't PAT just convey a friendly gentle touch?)
