Tin Pei Ling vs Chen Show Mao – and a very scary thought
March 29, 2011http://onesingaporean.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/tin-pei-ling-vs-chen-show-mao-and-a-very-scary-thought/
Despite what Lim Boon Heng, that minister who has been without a portfolio for some 15 years, has said, the PAP’s slate of new candidates are a dud. At least as far as I am concerned. I can’t remember any time in the past where the scraping of the barrel by the PAP was so pathetic.
And the signs are already there. Of course, the media is sugar-coating the dud candidates the PAP is selling. Desmond Choo? Desmond Lee? Tin Pei Ling? Seriously? When one starts to talk about one’s own sob story in order to gain sympathy, you can be sure the barrel is really empty.
But there is a serious issue here which Singaporeans must consider and consider very seriously indeed.
And it is this: With a complicit and compliant media, these duds are being sold and marketed as people with the genuine stuff. And riding piggyback on senior members into Parliament. This itself is ironic. I mean, if they have the genuine stuff, why would they need to coattail on others?
I am really concerned that someone like Tin Pei Ling, whom I presume hasn’t had even 10-years of working experience, is going into Parliament via the easy and convenient back door.
At the same time, someone like Chen Show Mao may not be in Parliament at all. Chen is expected to be on the WP ticket for the elections. The man’s credentials are second to none – studied at Harvard, Oxford, Stanford, Rhodes scholar, fluently bilingual, and with experience in international mergers and acquisitions, and he also sits on the advisory board of the Singapore Management University.
PAP's Tin Pei Ling - not even 10 years of working experience
Now, Tin Pei Ling and Chen Show Mao. Which do you think should be in Parliament? I mean, seriously.
Tin Pei Ling is a dime a dozen. You can probably scrap some of her ilk off the sidewalks at Orchard Road.
Chen, on the other hand, is what the PAP would crave for – and indeed, badly needs.
Yet, the truth and reality is that Tin Pei Ling will get into Parliament, while Chen Show Mao may not.
Every opposition party’s new candidates have to go through the baptism of fire in a contest at every election. Chiam See Tong fought twice before winning, and since then, he’s had to fight each of the six elections – and win them all. A total of 8 elections.
Low Thia Khiang too had to fight 5 General Elections – losing his first and winning the other four.
Chiam and Low NEVER had a walkover, or had the “privilege” of entering Parliament by piggybacking on others.
This is what leaders should do. This is what each and every MP must do – fight in an open contest, and not hide behind coattails and worse, say if they get into Parliament they want to “understudy” the senior members.
We pay S$15,000 a month to each MP.
For such a large sum of money, it is incumbent that each MP contest and win each and every election – just like what Chiam and Low have done and will have to do in this election as well.
No hiding. No piggybacking. No coattails to hang on to.
WP Chairman Sylvia Lim - may not get into Parliament
But the point I want to make is this:
It would be really really sad and bad for Singapore if someone like Tin Pei Ling is slipped into Parliament without a single vote cast in her favour, while those like Chen Show Mao, Sylvia Lim or even Low Thia Khiang do not get in.
Indeed, the dud slate of candidates the PAP is offering – and if each and everyone of them gets into Parliament – puts Singapore in a precarious position, moving forward.
Here’s another scary thought: In the 2006 general election, all 24 new PAP candidates got into Parliament – a 100% success rate.
While only 2 from the opposition were elected.
So, when you cast your vote, think very very carefully.

You all notice that ST sells Tin Pei Ling as the wife of PM's secretary? That says a lot right. She may be out of her depth. Imagine if we sell PM as the husband of Ho Ching. Haha!
And to pay her that kind of MP allowance, $15k a month, yes it's kind of scary what kind of tax are we paying these people for.

I think we need to spread this picture of Tin Pei Ling.
All those aunties who will never read such articles and see the opposition as a bunch of snakes may change their minds if they see the true side of this pathetic girl.

So all they need to do is just take a cute pix of themselves with their iphones and post in their Facebooks.
They will get the attention.
But might not make it through the doors of parliament.
