Agree she appears to have the heart, at least the desire to try.
Whether her passion is enduring is largely untested.
hmm... maybe already tested?
Dont think having the passion alone is sufficient.
To be effective, useful, impactful, she needs to rally people and resources.
Since her party is not any good, she is largely alone.
Thus far she has not shown any such capability.

Of course, if one just wants a simple voice in parliarment that she can fullfil.
Not sure if she can manage operations as town councils do.

Obviously the PAP has a better machinery than all the political parties combined. I can't say the same for some of its candidates though. Admittedly, some opposition candidates hv axes to grind and this is where the electorate should discern. As for PAP candidates, most of them are not even grassroots. they need to be persuaded to stand for election, to do something for the people. IMHO, these are not natural leaders. They become political candidates because of career path.

PAP provides "administrators". Many MPs are not politicians, and agreeably may didnt even want to be. Some were roped in at the very last minute. Doesnt speak well of the PAP recruitment pipleline (if any).
Still they have build up some machinery from decades of being in power.

One on one, I do believe Nicole Seah will beat Tin Pei Ling. But I dun see politics as threats.

TPL has PAP behind her. IMO, TPL has the edge.

IMHO, NS winning may be a blessing in disguise for PAP.
If WP with high calibre and very experienced ppl can only do so much.
But we have no choice but to rally around WP and give them time to grow.

Dont think NS will be able to do much.
Ppl will then get disillusioned with the opposition.

2 cents

Nicole Seah to make acting debut in local movie 1965 -

Tuesday, Dec 09, 2014



SINGAPORE - Former opposition politician, Nicole Seah, will be making her acting debut in the local movie 1965, according to various media reports.

The 28-year-old has been cast as the wife of a police inspector played by actor Qi Yuwu, confirmed executive producer Daniel Yun to The Straits Times. She will also be speaking both Mandarin and Malay in the movie, reported Channel NewsAsia.

Yun told the English daily that he wanted to work with Seah when she was no longer in politics.

"The opportunity came when I read she has left politics and was based in Bangkok. When I suggested to my director and production team, everyone was quite shocked. But they soon came around," told Yun to The Straits Times.

Seah, who resigned from her position as second assistant secretary-general in August, moved to Bangkok early this year to further her advertising career. She first attracted the attention of the public when she contested in the 2011 General Elections and was ranked as the second-most popular politician online, after Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

The $2.8 million film, 1965, is a tribute to Singapore's 50 years of indepedence and is directed by Randy Ang, who made last year's cop thriller re:solve. It follows the stories of locals and immigrants in the years leading up to independence.

Veteran actor Lim Kay Tong will be playing the role of Singapore's founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.

Unlike somebody who calls himself "Son of Ponggol," Nicole is truly a Daughter of Singapore (one of our very own Singaporean and not an FT).
