Tan Kin Lian can't wait to be President

Tan Kin Lian seems to be itching for a fight in the Presidential Election 2011.

In 2008, when asked by the media on whether he would be standing for election, it was reported that:

'... he would consider running if someone else started a petition supporting his bid and at least 100,000 people signed it.'

However, yesterday he told the press that:

'more than 100 people e-mailed him over the past few months urging him to run.'

and that he asked his friend, Png Eng Huat (Workers' Party) to collect the form for him...

Perhaps he lowered his expectations since he might wait until the cow comes home for the rest of the 99,900 to start calling him.

But one thing for sure.... he got his Worker Png to help him with his errands.

Chen Show Mao will build North East Line extension to Aljunied

I sometimes wonder if Chen Show Mao (Workers' Party) is a civil engineer instead of a lawyer.

In his speech in GE 2011, Chen Show Mao confidently said that "plans for the North East Line will carry on."

One wonders if he is suggesting that he will build the North East Line to fully connect Aljunied. How is he going to do that?

Let's take a good look at our soon-to-be-abstract-art MRT map:

A quick glance at the Land Transport Authority website will show that the new MRT lines that will kick in at Aljunied is the Downtown Line!

Mr Chen Show Mao, I bet Aljunied residents will now hold u accountable for your promise to connect them with North East Line.

Vote for First World Parliament, that can extend the North East Line to your door step!

Benjamin Pwee: Low GE Spending to save Environment

Benjamin Pwee (Singapore People's Party) was proud of the party's low spending during the General Election in 2011, so much so that he had to find an attractive reason to respond to queries from the press.

He was quoted in Channel NewsAsia --

"The SPP chose not to overdo our collaterals not just because of cost but in recognition of the need to be environmentally friendly," said team member Benjamin Pwee.

One wonders what would happen to the constituency if SPP won....

• HDB corridor lights shut off at night to save electricity
• Mangoes from trees would be used to make biodiesel
• Airconditioning banned
• Carbon emission tax scheme for constituents
• And botaks get utility discounts because they use less water on hair or no hair.

Vote SPP.... please.
