Response

In response to Baolai´s post on my undying support for Mr Low, I would like to clarify some things. First and foremost, I did NOT blast the incumbent party, let alone blast them like no one´s business. In fact, if my memory did not fail me, I APPLAUDED (literally) them for their effort in putting us on the world map.

In 2006 GE, Goh Chok Tong was asked by the incumbent party to win back the opposition wards.(fact) However, it was not successful as Hougang and Potong Pasir were retained by their respective opposition parties. In fact, the WP won by a greater margin compared with the 2001 GE. (fact)

I do give the incumbent their due credits. It cannot be overempathsized that I do not see Mr Low as a potential candidate for lobbying FTAs with the big boys around the world but that would be the job of our esteemed cabinet. However, certain things can be done differently.

My purpose was not to make anyone concur that Mr Low is good or that I am right. If that was being put through, then regrettably, it was not my intention. I was providing insights as a resident of his town how I feel. You are free to disagree but I am not too concerned. Results will show and they had, thusfar.

At the back of my mind, I do not know for sure what I am thinking sometimes. So it was quite impressive that people know what I am thinking at the back of my mind. What I know for sure is that it would be ill-advised to debate in politics and religion if we do not have the hard facts and figures. Even so, the time spent in engaging in such debates as minnows is quite meaningless.

I am pleasantly honoured and my ego is gently massaged that some have derived entertainment by making fun of me and my support for Mr Low. However, as long as it is not defamatory, you are most welcomed to do so. Heck, make an appointment, I´ll see what I can do to entertain.

PS: BL, your post might have kicked up another round of debate but I wish to end it asap because politics is sensitive.
