SINGAPORE: The Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) will not be holding an on site rally for the Punggol East by-election on Sunday.

The Party's candidate Desmond Lim said the party will "make use of new technology" to reach out to residents.

This will likely to be in the form an online rally which will be streamed.

Mr Lim was speaking to the media on the sidelines of a visit to the Arulmigu Velmurugan Gnanamuneeswarar Temple at Rivervale Crescent.

He said cost was an important factor in the decision, made unanimously by party members.

He said running an election is costly, and the party is small, with limited resources.

Mr Lim said using new media will also reach out to Punggol East residents, many of whom are younger and are more tech-savvy.

He added the party would release details of this arrangement "very soon".

Mr Lim added that the decision was not because the party could not get their rally application approved.

This joker is really a spoiler. If he has no sincerity to run the full course, why be in the run on Nomination Day?

It's a given that SDA will not win, and definitely to lose its $16k deposit as well. But why are they doing this just to split the opposition votes? It won't put them in a good stance come 2016. At least if that desperate Desmond wants to show sincerity in this election, a minimum of 1 on-site rally is a must. Not all are tech-savvy, especially those older ones. Anyway, this opposition party really no eyes to see.

It could well be because he couldn't pay enough 'volunteers' to 'help out'.

That's exactly my thoughts. These people are really ass-holes.

The chinese peom: he started off with a Tiger head and ended with a snake tail. If cost is an issue, he dare tell the media that if he is elected, he will build a million dollar theme park for Punggol East. Might as well say he can fly and also lay eggs.

Good for him, spare him the embarassment of stammering in the rally with only a handful of underaged crowds. I hope KJ will follow him soon. I believe he is quietly regretting for participating in this fruitless contest. $16000 can do many things in life, he just squandered them away for his small ego.

His job is to split the opposition vote, nothing more. Would you spend a 5 figure sum and not fight all the way? Maybe I would but only if the money to run paid by others.

I suspect no donations was pouring in to support him, thus limited budget to hold an open field rally. I don't know what to say.

He may be concerned that the rally turnout and the votes received approx. the same.

Sure very buang. I abit worried about RP's rally turn out also. They dont have the travelling kampung like WP.

He may be concerned that the rally turnout and the votes received approx. the same.

SDA cutting lost?

CST must be very sad seeing how the alliance he formed now in this state of affairs.

SDA, like SDP, will surely gain much respect, and support, if they stay out of this BE while planning for he 2016 big event!

TOC just reported that the turnout might be paid by him. He doesn't have the budget to feed them. So decided to call off the open rally. His party is ruined by this bloated head ego-crave burger who talked big but with no resources.

Then why even bother to enter the fray? A bloody sheep trying to dress like a tiger. What a fucking bastard.

Maybe after spending 16k plus bribing all the volunteers, they became broke.
