In 2012, after the Hougang By-Elections, Tharman Shanmugaratnam said of Desmond Choo:
"He did not leave after the GE (but) worked even harder on the ground."
He described Desmond Choo as "someone you can trust, someone who genuinely cares about people, and someone who'll always be there for his constituency".
Fast forward to 2014, we are being told that Desmond Choo will be leaving Hougang for Tampines.
Tampines is a GRC that the PAP has thrown big money into, sanctioning the building of 3 shopping malls - like Jurong. It is hence considered a "safe seat" with amenities aplenty to keep the residents there happy and contented.
So what does this tell you?
Very simple:
The PAP's primary concern is not YOU.
Its main concern is to get its candidates into Parliament regardless of what it takes, using whatever tactics and channels it can (mis-)use as the Government, and despite the fact that these candidates have been rejected over and over again by the People.
After all, that is what the GRC is for isn't it?
In this way, the PAP can continue to hold overwhelming power to control all arms of the government so as to ride roughshod over us and trample on our fundamental rights that are supposed to be guaranteed in the Constitution.
Can't wait for 2016 to kick them out? We can't either.
