Did anyone notice the difference between the 2. What is a clear emerging trend is that PAP is now facing a new set of detractors. They are not politicians, they do not speak like politicians and they certainly do not look anything like politicians. Roy looks like an ordinary citizen that has decided to stand up. Han Hui Hui is another. Prepared to voice their concerns publicly.

They are also different from usual NGO materials such as the Mauruah lot who are social activists but work within the system and pretty much the intelligentsia that differs. The fact that the name "Mauruah" does not resonate with most people but to those that came up with it tells a lot.

This does not not bode well for the PAP. The use of OB markers, laws governing political donations, constraints placed on political parties and candidates are not enough to contain dissent. A second front has opened up. Its the young ones that have stepped forward.

Compare Roy to the morons that you see on the YPAP video that went horribly wrong.
