HELEN: I find it a big disappointment that Lee Li Lian refused to accept her NCMP nomination even though I respect her decision to choose so.
As someone who voted for her in the GE, it’s very disheartening to know that my vote counts for nothing.
If the ELD doesn’t accept Daniel Goh as a new option, then there will be one less opposition voice in parliament.
I think all this must have been clear at the start that, so for the WP to talk about how important it is for more opposition voices to be in parliament to make sure the PAP doesn’t “ownself check ownself” and after that let a chance like that slip by, I find it unsincere.
If you can’t juggle a job and NCMP duties, which are lesser than the duty of a full MP and much less than a Minister plus MP, then how can I trust you and send you to parliament in the next election?
When the going was good, you took the MP role, when times are tough, you don’t want to stay with us and fight.
All the promises have come to nothing and now we are left with Charles Chong.
What happens now to the half of Punggol that doesn’t want him around?
I’m just feeling very betrayed because I found her very sincere and approachable, and willing to go beyond for us, but when the aristocrats tell us we must vote for people of “calibre” I’m beginning to think they might be right.
I haven’t swung yet to that corner yet, but you can call me a swing voter for now.
Hopefully Daniel will get in and he will be more responsible.
