New opposition candidate expected in Potong Pasir
By Zul Othman, TODAY | Posted: 03 November 2009 1829 hrs

SINGAPORE: It is likely that Potong Pasir Member of Parliament Chiam See Tong will contest in a Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in the next General Election, which is due by February 2012.

According to Singapore People's Party (SPP) chairman Sin Kek Tong, "someone new" will be fielded to defend the Potong Pasir ward - a constituency that Mr Chiam has represented since 1984.

Mr Sin did not give any details on the potential candidate or which GRC Mr Chiam plans to contest.

On Sunday, People's Action Party secretary-general Lee Hsien Loong said at the party's annual convention that "had to be some change with the way we treated Potong Pasir".

He was referring to the 2006 election when Mr Chiam had urged voters to vote for him, and get "two MPs for the price of one".

wah so secretive, must be one heavy weight....

ready to punch the PAP weaklings down...

but if new, sure lose alot of votes...

 

[Areopagus]

All the GRCs are "anchored" by a minister.

I think it will be CST vs WKS and NEH.

My bet is on CST and team

isn't he grooming his son for politics? That would be a good candidate for Potong Pasir and he can ride on his dad's name to get a good start.
