Bukit Batok by-election: SDP's Chee Soon Juan aims to visit every flat

Posted 14 April 2016


Decked in red party T-shirts, Dr Chee Soon Juan and his team of volunteers have been down in Bukit Batok almost daily for the past month.

The 53-year-old secretary-general of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) said his team has knocked on every door in the single-seat constituency as they gear up for a by-election.

And they are going for a second round, he told The Straits Times, as not all residents were home when they went round.

"We are in it to win. We want to make sure that we put in maximum work," Dr Chee said in an interview at his party's Ang Mo Kio headquarters last week.

He is aware of the task ahead. At the 2015 General Election, the SDP's Mr Sadasivam Veriyah won just 26 per cent of the vote. In nearby Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, the four-man SDP team that Dr Chee led won 33 per cent of the vote.

But SDP volunteers recall that at the 1991 General Election, their candidate, Mr Kwan Yue Keng, won over 48 per cent of the vote in the Bukit Batok single seat.

Dr Chee believes it is a plus that this is a by-election. But he still needs to get out and convince residents. This includes talking about how the SDP can manage the town should it win.

"A lot depends on our own fight, our own strategy rather than it being a by-election," he added.

His team relies heavily on technology, live-streaming press conferences and posting videos online. They also use the slogan "Now is the time" and tell residents Dr Chee will be a more useful voice to have in Parliament than another PAP MP.

Dr Chee cited retrenchment concerns and cost of living as the two most pressing issues for residents. He told them that he will raise these issues if he is elected.

He said the SDP will launch programmes to help residents raise their quality of life, and pledged to surpass PAP-run town councils in terms of transparency. He announced a transition team to take over estate matters and form a new town council should he win.

Asked how residents have taken to him, Dr Chee paused, then said that they are generally polite.

But they have complained about rising prices and how Mr Ong initially did not provide a proper explanation to them of why he had resigned.

Enough of "pay me more" politicians....


That Singapore has the highest paid politicians in the developed world epitomises what is wrong with Singapore structurally and socially.

Singapore has evolved into a ruling elite that controls be it govt linked companies or ministerial posts, these are assigned through an elitist system not meritocracy, leading to Singapore evolving into the most unequal society in the developed world. Today Singapore workers work the longest hours and face the most stress and struggle to make ends meet. The misallocation to benefit the few is leading to inefficiency throughout the economy.

We need to elect people who prioritise the interest of Singaporeans, not their own pay and interests. In parliament debates on ministerial pay....the elites spend 5hours to to justify why they have to be paid higher.... In a debate of wages of Singaporeans, they spend 5hrs arguing why ordinary singaporeans should not be paid higher and cannot have a living wage. In the end, they concluded that Singaporeans need more retraining.

The structural inefficiency and misallocation has led the govt to mask the underlying economic problems by importing cheap labor for growth, and making Singapore a haven for the rich to grow the private banking sector. Sinking even lower, casinos were built destroying many singaporean families.

To maintain all this, the elites control the news media and suppress opposition to their rule to perpetuate the benefits they gain from the system.

Elites without public transport experienece running public transport company... elites without financial sector experience given positions to manage money.... and so on. Even have elites without shipping experience managing our shipping company. ...managed it to the ground and sold at discount to NTA to foreigners leading to loss of local jobs. Yet their claim is Singaporeans more retraining when they are putting elites without proper experience in key positions and earning millions. It is easy to see the root cause of the problems in our economy.
