Public opinion on someone does not come easily too. It has to start from somehwere and could have left a deep impression on people's mind. Prior to this, no other PAP's candidates has had such a strong objection from the public. There must be some truth in it. His flaws was not corrected earlier hence, the negative impression and thoughts about him. Arrogance does not benefit anyone.
