don’t fight in a three way cul-de-sac

don’t fight in a three way cul-de-sac, do it one on one, please.

A cul-de-sac (plural: culs-de-sac), close, or court (American and Australian English) is a dead-end street with only one inlet/outlet.

As usual, the ST engaged in their usual speculations about the opposition moves for the imminent elections(in my view) in their Insight post. I must commend the ST on a good job done. After all, lifting and copying from online sources, alongside baseless speculation are something they regularly engage in.

They have said nothing new except a confession from a PAP activist that electoral boundaries are redrawn to PAP’s advantage. Look at the quote as below. Thanks for the admission in gerrymandering. If I am to interpret this, its as good as PAP saying: we love to gerrymander and we can, so what can you do?

‘Since the PAP did not do well in Aljunied GRC in 2006, the weakest link there could be moved out and put into Ang Mo Kio GRC – which, no matter what, is still much stronger’.

But their usual arrogance aside, I personally urge all opposition parties to sit down once again and work things out. I’ve written before about the need for opposition unity. History has shown us clearly that divide-and-rule is the best method for controlling opposition, and time and time again, our opposition has fallen into PAP’s trap, no thanks to the shameless newspaper known as the Straits Times.

I am well-aware before the article came out that the Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC is eyed by more than 2 opposition parties. Hence I would like to urge the opposition parties to NOT fight amongst themselves along with the PAP. Sit down, make concessions and work things out, or the opposition parties will lose as a whole, and PAP will continue in its dominance and arrogance. Attacking an inept Minister like Mr Wong Kan Seng is easy, and easily replicated by all the opposition parties. You just need to say the magic words “Mas Selemat”. However, winning against his party isn’t, especially when there are more than one opposition competing for the already limited opposition vote. The same goes for Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC. Do not be petty. If you guys are truly sincere about winning entry into Parliament for Singaporeans, it does not really matter who gets in, as long as a GRC is taken down.

I will admit that I will most definitely vote for the opposition, no matter who they put there, even a monkey. PAP needs to get out of my non-elite but caring face. What I will not admit is that if there is more than a two way contest, I will not be surewho to vote for so as to help the opposition cause, and I am sure lesser mortals, who cannot wait to remind the greater-mortals about whose really the boss, will also face the same dilemma.

Once again, please. Listen to MM Lee, for once, and meet him one v one in a cul-de-sac. Not meet him and his party, along with the other opposition parties in a three-way or four-way cul-de-sac. In such a scenario, the only losers will be Singaporeans who genuinely hope for change, and if you, as a member of the opposition,are really working for Singapore and Singaporeans, that’s something you will not want to see, right?
