Tears Or Jeers


Lim Boon Heng

Watson Chong

Khaw Boon Wan

Nicole Seah

Lim Hwee Hua


  1. What went unnoticed is the silent tears of Sylvia Lim, she controlled well enough not to show her emotion publicly. But you can see her tight facial muscle holding back her choking voice and the tears from flowing out.

    That happened in the finale rally in Serangoon when the members on stage walked a visually handicapped man down stage after he had placed the garland on Low Thia Kiang. While Mr Low escorted the man to the stage staircase, the emotional outbreak within her can be seen in her face.

    I connect with her on this matter. She may be very strong and forceful when she delivered her speech but she has her soft spot. And I am very glad of that, it shows she has a heart for the underdogs.

    Watson tears is understandable. Like what many opposition members said, there is no glamour being in the opposition camp. The fear in his wife is what many of us can relate to. It is fortunate that his family members eventually rally around him. I wish him all the best.

    My take on Lim Boon Heng's tears is similar to yours. He is angry within, for being told to go. And on losing his couple of million dollars and he felt he should stay on instead of getting people who are less qualified than him. He felt shortchanged by the party but he lan lan cannot state them in public.

    Lim Hwee Hwa - She is useless. Her tears are that of fear. Fear that her ineptness, her heartlessness and her complacency had all now made public and that the public will think negatively of her. It is too late. She had already done the damages. No sympathy for her.

    Nicole's tears are those of compassion. a young girl seeing how fellow Singaporeans are being treated by the same Singaporeans that were being elected into Parliament. There is hope for Singapore. Lets hope her involvement in politics will spurs many others like her to stand up and reclaim the country.

  2. Some shed CROCODILE'S TEARS.
    Some shed TEARS OF FEAR-
    losing multi-million SINDollar
    income and loss of VIP Status.
    Some overwhelmed by emotion
    there will be much tear of joys
    as hearts get touched when
    results are announced tonite.


  3. So sad. What is happening to our country?

  4. PAP ministers who retired are entitled to enormous pension payments. No tears for that.

  5. Just flew back to vote for the OPP and will be getting together with a group of friends to face the outcome.

    I had a light hearted banter with a few crew on board a famous carrier and I mentioned my reason for rushing back in time to vote. They commented that I was a loyal supporter but I emphasized that my gesture is nothing compared to those brave souls taking the fight to the incumbents and not least, those who volunteered selflessly to help them campaign. They nodded approvingly and I asked what is the general sentiments amongst them. They replied by asking me this in return, "Mr.... what do you think when we are the workers?" lol
    They knew how I felt just by the smile on my face. lol

    *I hope the OPP's effort is not in vain*

  6. I honestly do not care for the tears of anyone in the incumbent party. They have their millions, and even for Lim Boon Heng, he had his millions. Any kind of crying is simply just too little, too late, for having taken a part in choices like the casinos which morally bankrupted our nation as a decision. I care more about whether Singaporeans can even rally round those who take on the lesser trodden road of the opposition and their cause for a fairer and equal society with compassion for the less fortunate.

  7. Sin has a lot of idol worshippers.

  8. You're biased in what you write. To me all that are wayang. The biggest wayang is Nicole Seah. To me, that was staged.
