SINGAPORE: The Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) will not contest the Punggol East by-election on January 26.

The party announced this at a media conference on Tuesday afternoon.

In a surprising twist of events, a majority of its central executive committee members voted against contesting.

This ended days of speculation that the party was keen to either field 42-year-old lecturer Dr Vincent Wijeysingha or 47-year-old Dr Paul Tambyah.

On Monday night, party chief Dr Chee Soon Juan said the party was set to announce its candidate on Tuesday.

The PAP is outwitted. Fooled into thinking there would be a multi-corner fight, it hastily fielded an uncharismatic, arrogant political newbie, thinking the PAP will coast to victory.

Talk about hanging yourself with your own rope. :wink:

Nevertheless everyone regardless of pro-SDP, anti-WP whatever has to recognize one thing. This unnecessary exposure has done considerable damage to the SDP.

That they might have scratched WP on the surface to inflict damages on themselves is not worth it.

If SDP is just there to trigger PAP to get the by election to start fast. Then SDP got my respect back.

Just like I trigger that sinkie wiki to pay for the sbf donation. He he he.

It's a wise move. Confuse the opponent and gain some advantage for the opposition. Ass Loon thought he could outsmart the opposition.

So what was this whole fiasco for? A publicity stunt for SDP? Did they purposely act stupid so that they can get media attention?

留得青山在,不怕没柴烧.

They are now on a higher moral ground: "SDP listened to the ground - that it did not want a multi-cornered fight that would dilute vote for Opposition."
