Do not be afraid to give up the good to go for the great

"Do not be afraid to give up the good to go for the great" - John D. Rockefeller.
2 big wigs from 2 opposing camps are leading their teams in Punggol GRC.
On one hand, there is the pap team headed by deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong (GKY), Janil Puthucheary (JP), Yeo Wan Ling and Sun Xueling.
On the other hand, there is the Workers' Party (WP) team headed by Harpreet Singh SC, Jackson Au, Alia Matter and Alexis Dang..
Personally, I have no issue with the pap team and GKY is not some small fry either, however, unlike many other people who maybe floored or wow by his big title of Deputy Prime Minister, to me, that just reflects his appointment in the government and apart from according him the proper decorum and respect, people should not be carried away by blind bowing, worshipping and/or nodding habitually without even knowing exactly what is happening etc.
The one sore point about that pap team there is that, JP, unlike many able bodied male citizens across generations, did not serve National Service.
I believe that I can confidently say on behalf of many, many Singaporean men who have fully served both their NSF and reservist obligations that they do not like it! I certainly despise that. It is a decent team but it is not indispensable.
However, the WP team contesting there is different. It is headed by a young, energetic, accomplished Senior Counsel. He is a godsend.
Of course it is bad news for the pap but by and large, it is Singaporeans' and WP's good fortunate to be able to recruit a person of HS's calibre and professional standing to be on its side. I think it is safe to say that it took the opposition decades to see such a breakthrough.
If the WP team is able to win there, in time to come, HS's presence will not only be felt and benefit Punggol GRC's residents only, Singaporeans by and large must also benefit from his professional training and calibre etc. He is too big and too useful to only swim and stay in a small pond, so to speak.
I hereby sincerely urge my fellow voting citizens over at Punggol GRC to read my opening paragraph again, ie, do not be afraid to give up the good to go for the great, for yourself, your children and our country as a whole. Be courageous for our collective and national benefits.
Think.

Just a very simple “ hallow “ , just shouting at the top of his voice with some political rhetoric, just gave you a few pieces of colourful flyers, just a pat on your shoulder when you drink your morning coffee and someone can conclude that the person doing this is great?
For Simon, to be “great” is so simple?
Does Simon aware that shouting at the top renders logical thinking capabilities to zero?

jp has failed as a human being by putting politics before his clinical obligations, more so as a paediatrician. he is a bigger failure than the rest of his team – all scums.

Simon openly worships the party. No secret about that.

rockaferal is a pusher of unethical biomedical research and notoriously funds it.
jp[op] that put politics ahead of his clinical obligations (to children) is the lowest in his team of scum.
opposition would be beneficial to sg if all unite to bite the bullet to clean out decades of rot before growth can resume.
necessary but not easy nor comfortable
nothing to do with goodness or greatness

Well said. Nothing wrong with the PAP team. But Harpreet is much better than any of them. One for one the WP team has the edge if you look at the national interest. LW can always find another deputy. But the country needs better representation in parliament. Look at if this way. The PaP will not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of individuals for the whole group. We can do the same.

If Mr Gan is important and cannot afford to lose him, does that mean there is no capable minister who is able to take over? Where is leadership training?

It is not only at Punggol but across Singapore, we are witnessing better candidates in the Opposition.We have voted the PAP for many years. We have experienced their governance. We know that they act out the polices implemented by the party though elected by us, the citizens. So we can afford to vote in more Opposition to represent us in Parliament to add value to our political debates. This will in return give us better governance from the ruling party. May 3rd is the only day in the next five years that we can make a change for ourselves and family. I will vote Opposition because I don’t want a 10million population and the price of Public Housing to keep rising. I also don’t want another GST increase. I don’t trust the PAP as GKY hid the hepatitis death to win an election so I have decided to vote in an Opposition team into Parliament.

GKY is good ?
He is s lousy Health minister like that Lim Hng Kiang.
During SARS, KBW had to take over and kept the situation under control.
Covid, LW was the main guy assuring Singaporeans.
Why do we have Health ministers who are not doctors?

If $tupid $heeple think these are real oppo then they deserve the goondus, blur sotong, fornicators and racists in government. No real people of character will ever stoop so low as to call themselves oppo and join this clown circus of aspiring fools.

You all can vote for a radical change, to become longkang cleaners in far away countries.

You are right.
And,why do we have Doctor to helm Defence Ministry instead of Generals?
That is why it is a Cartoonet ,not a Cabinet?

@ Why do we have Health ministers who are not doctors?
Not wrong also not right.
