I know of many people in Joo Chiat who have told him direct to his face to step aside as he will only serve to split the opposition votes, and that no independent candidate has ever succeeded in an election here. He is not stupid and cannot know that he will not win but will serve to give the seat to the PAP on a platter. One can only conclude that there is a hidden agenda somewhere. <br />TMTtmthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167183546747102781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176905114532816372.post-56544368057773637662011-04-15T04:02:17.001-07:002011-04-15T04:02:17.001-07:00@ Li Feng
Its true that the Japanese were defeate...@ Li Feng<br /><br />Its true that the Japanese were defeated by the USA and surrendered as a result of the bomb, not due to Chinese troops. However, unless my lecturer is feeding me misinformation,I believe that it was the CCP that put up most of the resistance towards the Jap, thats why they earned so much support from the masses later on even though KMT had American backing. <br /><br />Sorry for the off-topic.terencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612756406516208726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176905114532816372.post-34438807789558706422011-04-14T22:17:37.651-07:002011-04-14T22:17:37.651-07:00Ref my earlier post.

For instance, the convenience of the scholar couple waltzing into the NSP. GMS himself may be one, seroiusly.<br /><br />At this point,I see only two clear and genuine opposition parties -SDP and Reform. <br /><br />They should get together and identify the culprits and neutralise them.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240714679371017671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176905114532816372.post-81840179899250643122011-04-14T21:31:20.041-07:002011-04-14T21:31:20.041-07:00Well said, and we will have to see if the oppositi...Well said, and we will have to see if the oppositions take heed instead of bickering amongst themselves.<br /><br />There be an increased no of sympathisers for the opposition but if they continue to bicker in this manner, and be unable to compromise, they may lose their chance to get into the parliament to represent the people who may vote for them.<br /><br />The likes of Goh Meng Seng's party NSP collecting desserter from other parites, who may be potential PAP moles with questionable integrity, pricnciples? laying claims to territories where they have only just started their walkabout? leaves much to be desired. GMS also stated that he will leave Singapore for HK if he loses in this election.

Japanese was not defeated in Chinese Soil. During so-called Unity Force (your term), Kuomintang almost single-handedly fight against the Japanese (loss of resources and man power), the communist most of the times never fight directly and preserve the strength. That's also part of the reason why after World War 2, the communists (though still inferior in numbers) were able to defeat the kuomintang.li345fenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985278482460730258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176905114532816372.post-86211222798426692812011-04-14T19:41:45.994-07:002011-04-14T19:41:45.994-07:00有听说百花齐放吗?有听说百花齐放吗?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05760019679342530864noreply@blogger.com
