Let's just say he's not shy about courting controversy. Mr Goh Meng Seng has done it again by suggesting on his blog that the National Solidarity Party (NSP) exacts "revenge" on the Workers' Party (WP) by contesting the Hougang seat.
The seat was vacated after the Member of Parliament (MP) Yaw Shin Leong of the Workers' Party was abruptly sacked from his party after allegations of an affair emerged. He consequently lost his seat.
Netizens, including some self-proclaimed WP supporters, were enraged. They blasted Mr Goh.
Remarks ranged from the incredulous - "What makes him think that NSP will do better in Moulmein-Kallang if WP had withdrawn?" - to the downright irritated. Some even accused him of daydreaming and stirring trouble.
Mr Goh, the one-time secretary-general of the NSP, has left politics. Well, sort of. He now bills himself as a political observer.
He said: "Netizens and WP supporters overreacted. I'm not encouraging NSP to contest in Hougang.
"I'm just pointing out the possibility, and I did mention I hope they would negotiate and settle to avoid a three-corner fight. If NSP wants to contest, they have to be aware of the repercussions and consequences."
Mr Goh had written on his blog: "(Entering the Hougang by-election) is not just about "revenge" for NSP to contest. It has its own strategic considerations."
So what revenge is he on about?
