Says a 1000 words:

(Credits to Yawning Bread)
- "Opposition Parties need to focus on swing votes": Alex Au believes Quadrant D is staunchly supportive of the opposition cause. In order to engage the swing voters, they need to address fear of voting against the incumbents and the idealism of creating a better Singapore. (Yawning Bread)


Rally Roundup
- "Rally Roundup: Day 4" PAP: "Opposition providing false hope"; WP: "PAP policies morally reprehensible";   SDP: "Focus on the community"; RP: "Investments, Foreign talent policies slammed", NSP: "Income disparity needs to be addressed" (Full article at Satay Club)


Mudslinging and Other Dirty Tricks (ODTs)
- Leading alternative media Temasek Review site remains inaccessible in Singapore since announcement of elections; DDOS attacks suspected to be the cause of crashing the alternative news website just before it became inaccessible

- "NSP posters torn down in Chai Chee" (Singapore Elections)

- "PAP actively sabotaging SDP posters": Eyewitnesses testify against unknown vehicle pulling down the election posters of opposition parties (Singapore Elections)

- "Are SDP posters being taken down?": SDP posters reportedly taken down at Yuhua, Bukit Panjang and Admiralty constituencies (Your SDP, Singapore Democratic Party's website)


Adding to the discourse and debunking myths
- "Two personalities and the economic debate": Tan Kin Lian weighs in on discourse between Tan Jee Say and Lim Hng Kiang, saying that Mr Lim seem to have put words into Mr Tan's mouth by saying Mr Tan wanted to phase out manufacturing, which is not explicitly suggested in Mr Tan's plan. The strong response by Mr Lim is shocking, uncalled for, and so inaccurately reported on the mainstream media that the blogger felt he needed to help clarify Mr Tan's stance to debunk the MSM's undue influence. (TKL and Associates)

- "Property values and your choice of political party": PAP has taken us on a path of gradual deterioration over the last 5 years. The PAP has the potential to do well. If you support the PAP, you should vote the opposition so as to shock them awake from complacency. On the role of an MP, there are many things an MP does, such as debating national issues, and solve residents' and the community's day-to-day problems. An MP does not have a say in many of the things that will improve your property value. The actual municipal tasks of running the constituency is not difficult at all for most of the candidates. If voting an opposition MP affects housing value, Hougang should be badly affected by Mr Low who was MP for 20 years. (Mr Wang Says So)
