GE: Don't be afraid to vote for the opposition, says Chiam
SINGAPORE: Singapore People's Party Candidate for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, Chiam See Tong, in his opening remarks called on voters not to be afraid to vote in the opposition, citing himself as a living example. He added the residents of Potong Pasir have not been victimised since he became their MP.
He said: "Be brave be courageous...do not read the papers...there is nothing you should be afraid of. I am the living example...and I and all the residents of Potong Pasir have not been victimised. So nothing for you to fear, be brave as you are."
Mr Chiam was speaking at a SPP rally in Serangoon on Wednesday evening.
Meanwhile, fellow SPP Candidate for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, Jimmy Lee, said he welcomes the Prime Minister's apology for the government's past mistakes.
But he described it as a symbolic gesture and wants to know when the rest of the PAP ministers will apologise. He also said that having 40 opposition MPs in parliament will mean substance in parliament.
Mr Lee said: "The substance...is in parliamentary discourse. The substance is in discussing policies in parliament, the low down, the gritty, the ground level fight over policy decisions in parliament....that is the substance we are looking for.
"Two alternative MPs in parliament, that is a symbol, that is (a) very important symbol that Hougang and Potong Pasir has been showing to the rest of Singapore for the last 27 years...the rest of singapore appreciates this symbol."
