SINGAPORE: The Singapore People's Party (SPP) hopes to avoid a three-cornered fight at familiar battleground Potong Pasir, but People's Alliance for Reform (PAR) secretary-general Lim Tean said his party “very much plans to contest there” too.

In a Facebook post on Mar 11, Mr Lim announced that the PAR will contest in two Group Representation constituencies (GRC) and eight Single Member Constituencies (SMC), one of which is Potong Pasir SMC.

The SMC, which is a former stronghold of opposition veteran Chiam See Tong, is one that SPP is going to contest in the upcoming General Election, said its secretary-general Steve Chia during a walkabout in Toa Payoh on Saturday (Mar 29).

“SPP has been contesting Potong Pasir all these years, ever since Mr Chiam See Tong, Mrs (Lina) Chiam, Jose Raymond,” he said. “This coming election, we will still be contesting in Potong Pasir, we cannot let the people of Potong Pasir down.”

He said that he had spoken with Mr Lim in the last week to tell his party that SPP is “very firm with our candidate contesting in Potong Pasir”.

Responding to queries from CNA, Mr Lim said that Potong Pasir is still one of PAR’s “top priorities”.

“We very much plan to contest there,” said Mr Lim, founder of Peoples Voice, which is a component party of the PAR.

Asked to respond to Mr Lim’s stance, Mr Chia said: “I have not heard from him directly (since the last conversation), so we probably have to meet again before nomination day to finalise and tie down."

When queried if giving way to PAR to contest in Potong Pasir is an option, Mr Chia said: “I won’t commit to the media on that.”

Mr Lim also told CNA that he is glad that Mr Chia “wants to avoid a three-cornered fight”.

“I am hopeful we will come to an agreement.

“PAR has a very strong candidate for Potong Pasir who can defeat the PAP, and the important thing is for the opposition to win back Potong Pasir after 14 long years,” he added.

Mr Chiam, who turned 90 earlier this month, held his seat in Potong Pasir for 27 years. First under the Singapore Democratic Party banner from 1984, and then under the SPP banner from 1997 to 2011, when his wife, Mrs Chiam, lost the seat to People Action Party’s (PAP) Sitoh Yih Pin in the 2011 General Election.

Mr Sitoh would hold the seat for the next two polls, most recently defeating SPP candidate Jose Raymond in the 2020 General Election, winning 60.67 per cent of the votes.

Despite doing no ground work at all, Lim Tean is convinced that he can win back Potong Pasir after 14 long years. Will the noise from Lim Tean be enough to easily defeat Sitoh Yih Pin, an entrenched PAP incumbent?

Even if people are frustrated with PAP, are they all going to cast their votes for Lim Tean and some random uncles whom they have not seen before?

 

[dambio]

Cooperate to win 1st can?

 

[itedino]

This lim tean should urine and look at the pool of his own local produce.

yes, sinkies who cannot tahan whites anymore will cast their votes for Mr Lim Tean and some random uncles whom they have not seen before

THIS is cast in concrete

because, sinkies who cannnot tahan whites anymore will vote anything any animal anyone as long as he/she/it is not from white party

Of Course

whether whites lose in Potong Pasir or Mr Lim Tean et. al, win in Potong Pasir depends on the number of sinkies who cannot tahan whites anymore

if cannot tahan whites > worship whites, Mr Lim Tean and et. al. win

 

[Shion]

he want to lose his deposit

Sabo king.

If elected, will she spend most of her time advocating for LGBT issues, which she is likely very concerned about as a lesbian, rather than focusing on the everyday concerns of Yishun residents?

Do most Singaporeans care more about inflation, jobs, cost of living than they care about LGBT issues?

Not all new faces spotted walking the ground at community events are potential candidates in the coming General Election, said Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam on Saturday (Mar 29) as he fielded questions from reporters about volunteers seen with him at a DBS Foundation event.

Spotted at the DBS Foundation Community Pop-Up Market in Khatib were former People's Action Party (PAP) Hougang branch chairman Jackson Lam and intellectual property lawyer Deryne Sim.

Ang Mo Kio GRC MP Nadia Ahmad Samdin was also seen dressed in a DBS Foundation polo T-shirt.

Lim Tean only appeals to hardcore opposition voters. To win an election, one needs to win over swing voters, not just those who are already going to vote for the opposition.

Lim Tean's approach of just talking big and not thoroughly covering the constituencies before and during the elections is not feasible. Most people on the ground don't even know his party's logo.

Eloquent, angry speeches don't matter. If people are not convinced of the credibility of the opposition, they will mostly vote for the PAP. The protest votes aren't enough to win elections.
