quite agree. when the MP visited us, most of the landed property owner never open their gates. Maybe they are really not at home. my oppsite and imediate neighour all never open. think must have voted for the WP.Originally Posted by Geylang OKT
I pity Mrs Lim on the serangoon garden dormintory saga...
In the other Landed Property area withinin distirct 19, resident complains that transportation within Poh Huat and Kovan very inconvenient, MP introduced a private bus to serve the area. It was scrapped after dont know how long as the bus is always fetching 'ghost" passenger... see bei cham... very hard to please those Higher Middle Income group...

so how fair is this system ?
trying very hard to isolate the people from Opps right ?
so i think its not fair for you to comment that you dnt even see them or know who they are
you should question the system instead
for my case, i nvr see both teams.....only saw PAP van.....opp teams i only see them on Utube...LOLOriginally Posted by proud owner
Most of the landed properties all over singapore's price was quite stagnant for many years...Originally Posted by proud owner
Only recent years, the price really chiong a lot. My brother was looking for landed in Serangoon Garden so I also go and kaypoh. The asking price is in my opinion really quite high. Average is about 800-1000 psf just for the land only.
yes....but last yr alone certain landed area almost doubledOriginally Posted by stl67
When all landed experienced their big jump, what was the percentage 'enjoyed' by the residents of Serangoon Gardens? I got a friend who bought his semi-D around 1.5M 1 year+ ago, dunno if it's worth 3M now??Originally Posted by Allthepies
S Gdn landed was still very much dead in 2006/7 ...Originally Posted by mantrix

while surprisingly... pasir panjang was the first to register 1000 psf for a new landed in 2007 ...

Oh the Jln Bumbong/Jln Rasok there, where bukit villas is. But the location is really bird don't lay eggs place. haa haa.Originally Posted by proud owner
serangoon gardens is pretty crowded. A lot of units so a lot of competition between sellers.
+ the workers dorm. now go under opposition....
That is correct. Maslow's hierachy of needs here. Once you're well-fed with basic need achieved, u think about self-actualisation and contribution to society and personal diginity. Most of the opposition parties underpolled at HDB flats and overpolled at private estates. I won't say "rich people" - rich people who are the PAP Ministers at Tg Pagar GRC no one dare to fight. But based on feedback, the upper middle class areas like Bukit Timah, Holland, Serangoon Gardens, Hillview, East Coast condos etc apparently has strong opposition votes.

Highly unlikely. In fact, it is good for Aljunied GRC. Best of Both Worlds. The PAP will fight to win back Aljunied for the next 5 years. Many new development/plans will be in place. Maybe even a new MRT or LRT line. A heavyweight Minister will be needed in order to win Aljunied at the next election. Who knows, maybe even PM himself will stand in Aljunied.Originally Posted by Montaigne
i doubt there will be exciting new developments in the Aljunied area as this will only send a signal to others that it is okie to vote and be under the opposition. There must certainly be a distinction between a PAP and opposition ward, else how to gain votes for the next elections?Originally Posted by fclim
I feel that PAP will still continue to develop the Aljunied area but it won't be anything big. PAP might even prepare a team of MPs to be at Aljunied GRC to make their presence felt early before the next elections.
are you sure ? where are your sources ? from "my" sources at least in some areas above the PAP support is die hard.Originally Posted by Wild Falcon
To be very frank, I only joined them once last yr when my husband went to RC to register for his health screening at $3 per person. He bought the family night tickets from the RC at $2 each which include food and drinks (Programs : Karaoka, dancing and some entertainment programs). Our MP also joined in the fun. He sang 2 songs for us (Hokkien / Mandarin) and dance with the residents. This was the 1st time I saw him out of 12 years staying there because normally I don't join those activities. He gave me a very deep impression. There is also a brisk walking being organised monthly but I didn't join, cannot wake up so early la, haha!Originally Posted by proud owner
I only saw the poster of the opposition party on the lamp pole, never see his real person neither did I hear any talk from him. FYI, I'm from SMC constituency.
It is a tough call. For SMCs like PP or Hougang, yes. That "vote and repent" strategy may work and it took many years before PP became PAP ward again. But, Aljunied is a big GRC and PAP cannot afford to allow this opposition nest to grow and influence neighbouring GRCs and SMCs. If you analyse the results, except for AMK and Pasir Ris-Punggol GRCs, all the other neighbouring GRCs/SMCs (East Coast, Tampines, Joo Chiat, Punggol East, Sengkang West, Bishan-Toa Payoh, Marine Parade) registered less than 60% share of the votes. Aljunied in the last election had 56% share of the votes.Originally Posted by ShadowSG
How many more ministers can PAP afford to lose through Aljunied? If they ignore Aljunied and continue to let the opposition take control there, then it will be the case of the parable of the boiled frog, like what Hougang has done to Aljunied.
The stakes are high indeed.
Paya lebar airbase under control of WP as well?
I seriously doubt PM will contest there directly because PAP is super kia su and the stakes are simply too high for PAP. They might not want to deploy any big ministers too for fear of losing them. 2 scenarios can happen. 1. They deploy one or two ministers who's screwed up during next 5 years to fight to redeem themselves. 2. They will throw in a really big ridiculous incentive to Aljunied to win back precious votes.

Why GE 2011 is a watershed GE?
1. First GRC lost
2. End of an era for CST
3. Next 5 years is make or break for opp. If WP can deliver, PAP beware. If WP cannot deliver, back to square one
4. Up to 82 or 87 seats contested, unprecedented aka 2.2mil voters (highest in history)
5. Govt allow new media campaigning
6. Youngest ever MP elected at 27 yrs old
7. Youngest candidate at 24 yrs old
8. PAP said sorry
9. GRC system severely questioned
10. The returning officer Mr Yam Ah Mee became an instant celebrity
Pursuant to Section 49, Sub-Section 7E, Paragraph A of the Parliamentary Elections Act, I declare General Elections 2011 is indeed a watershed election.
