I don't think OBama wants that. Don't forget the US is a democratic country unlike sg.
Mr Barack Obama beats the arrogant, proven incompetent lee hsien loong any time.
The other thread (in Speakers' Corner) on lee hsien loong phoned obama is deleted. Nothing wrong with the thread but don't know why deleted.

Of course.
He is at least more humble and not son of previous PM.
Minority group somemore.

It is his own hard work that he is who he is and voted by the nation. I respect him for this but I don't have respect for the ever greedy, self centred, incompetent, lee hsien loong. Without the father lky, lee hsien loong can't make it to be our PM. Anybody who is sensible knows that he simply does not have the calibre at all to be PM.

Dear Dr Chee Soon Juan and Dr James Gomez,
I am a new bird in politics and want post a simple question to u two.
Why Obama (ya u are right.The US President --designate.
not my friend) is the only Black Senate in US Senate?
But there are 37,502,300 Black or African American
or 12.8 % of US population!!
Race and Hispanic Origin in 2005
How one person to represent 37,502,300 Black peoples.
Obama is the 5 th Black Senate in US history since abolishing
of salvery in 1863---140 years!!
2.FYI.in the Cabinets of Singapore,there are 3 Indian races,
1 Malay,and one Indian/Chinese(father is Indian) out
of overall 20 Cabinets members.4 in 20=20%!!
I think GRC can represent miniority better!!
do u think so?
3.Pl tell me how good is the US system !!

don't think the evil dictator will make david marshall the PM. Jews are too intelligent and too shrewd for him to control and manipulate.

Was that "The FORM" in James Gomez hand, or was THAT Form "hidden from view inside an envelope ?
Given the pressure of the moment, and caught up in the feverish preparation of documentation and registration process, a newbie standing as a candidate could easily have been forgiven for this human oversight.
Unfortunately, by the cynical political standards of LKY and his slanted agenda to keep himself in political office, he will have Singaporeans think otherwise.
It is pathetic that shallow minded and gullible persons with closed minds will swallow the lie completely - hook, line and sinker.
No wonder Singapore is sinking.
The White House is now made, the Black House

Originally posted by Atobe:The biggest clown is yourself that boasts of "Oxford" lineage but will foresake the exposure of a more open and tolerant environment, only to accept the dark politics practise by LKY and his PAP and promote their cause of slandering CSJ and the WP.
In this recent concluded US elections, no one will accuse any opposition members to be a clown when he endorses or even vote for the other party.
Colin Powell - (a Republican) - had even endorsed Barack Obama (a Democrat).
Registered Republicans in Republican stronghold States had given their votes to Barack Obama and allowed him to win over the States that have been faithful to the Republican Party for more then 40 years.
No one called anyone a Clown.
Only an immature fool like yourself will promote the arrogance of LKY in belittling his political opponents, whom he fear will take over his political powers to expose the huge bundle of skeletons hidden in his closet.
Should you not address your question to LKY - if he is prepared to trust a Malay or an Indian to takeover the helm ?
With LKY at the helm of Singapore Politics for more then 51 years, is it not sad that your cynicism still exist - when Singapore had it in the Constitution, the Flag, the National Anthem and the Pledge that all everyone in Singapore is EQUAL ?
Can Singapore be blind to one's ethnicity, when the Political Leadership play politics with the ethnicity of Singaporean - even as it gives superficial and cursory recognition to the rules that it had established for everyone ?
The greatness of a nation is when the rights of each individual that form the nation is respected and protected, and all such individuals will come together to collectively protect the nation.
So the imbecilic Atobe emerges again from the sewers like cockroaches on a rainy day :) I would agree that calling CSJ a clown does him too much credit...a fool like Atobe would make slanderous remarks behind the anonymity of the internet, not so CSJ. Yes, I guess the old man is right....CSJ is a masochist.
The fact is, the Opposition parties in Singapore have not been able to engage minority races. The racial breakdown at the last election indicates that the ruling party commands the votes of the minority races. In hotly contested constituencies, it was the minority races that gave PAP the victory.
Face it: the reason the opposition gripes about the GRC is because they are not able to field highly qualified candidates of minority races that are actually electable. Scouring the sewers for low lifes the likes of Atobe to make the numbers for a GRC just won't make the cut.

What a joke! If he cannot take the pressure of submitting a simple application (something my 10-year old niece can do better) then he has no business with trying to rule the nation.

Credit can only be given to a parasite who view the world from the sewers and expertly indulge in gutter politics instead of addressing the issues.
Are you not hiding behind a cloak of anonymity in the internet to indulge in your own parasitical past-time ?
Only a clown like you will believe and accept the vile that an old man can produce and will sodomise the reputation of others who are more courageous than yourself in facing issues publicly.

Your comments show that you are clearly out-of-touch with events in Singapore.
It has been a fact that the minority races have been diluted into the heartlands by the PAP implemented HDB policies in preventing concentrations of ethnic groups that will form a force that they cannot control.
Can there be any significant numbers of minority groups that can exist in the various constituencies to make any impact on the outcome of the elections - when the PAP had ensured that the minority groups are immersed into the larger 75% majority ethnic group ?
What kind of propaganda are you pretending to boast with your claim that "racial breakdown at the last election indicates that the ruling party commands the votes of the minority races" ?
Even the PAP will not even dare to put a finger in the pattern that the different HDB blocks are voting within a Constituency that the minority groups have been immersed.
Only scumbags pretending to be from more prestigeous lineage has the capacity to accept the scum propounded by a cynical Old Man more interested in protecting his own future with a devious GRC scheme.

From which reasonably reliable source did you get your 'fact' from?

Only a fool will believe that there is a joke in believing there is any pressure in submitting a simple application.
Can your 10-year old niece even know how to fill a candidate's nomination form, or is she only good at sucking the candy paper only ?
Was James Gomez intending to "rule the nation", or was he merely offering himself to stand as a candidate to be elected as a Member of Parliament ?
If you cannot read accurately the contents of what have been written, you should have your 10-year old niece to teach you to read if she is as intelligent as you claim.
