I was initially dubious of the NSP youth candidate, until I chanced upon the full interview link from llb's fb page:
I am impressed. At least by her media persona.
She tackles some of the most tricky questions with poise and somehow convinces that she bears maturity well beyond her age.
When asked about her comparison with Tin Pei Ling, she draws the audiences back to the more pressing issues involved in the election rather that hounding on distracting elements. Ditto to that!
Still, she stands on an easier ground than her counterpart, no?
She stands for the opposition, which means it's her job to be politically INcorrect.
And Tin Pei Ling's position is much tricker, she had to be ambiguous. Her downfall being her inability to portray that ambiguity firmly.
And perhaps, Nicole Seah's had a flair of facing the media, afterall, she was a new media major, and her academic exposure would have indirectly prepped her on the dos and don'ts, no?
All that said, Nicole convinces. I love her firm persona and her idealized fights against injustices. And sure, it added alternative voices, challenging the status quo.
However what mattered ultimately, is not merely constructive criticism.
Oppositions might want to look beyond criticism, into viable solutions that propels.
