THREE opposition parties are refusing to give up their bids for Radin Mas, and a four-cornered fight looms in the single seat ward.
However, Mr Yip Yew Weng, 60, who was unveiled as the National Solidarity Party (NSP) candidate for Radin Mas at a media conference on Tuesday, said the two other opposition candidates should give way and 'not waste their energy and resources'.
The other two are theatre director Alec Tok, 45, vice-chairman of the Reform Party, and businessman Nazem Suki, 42, assistant secretary-general of the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA).
Mr Yip, a businessman, said NSP should have first bite at Radin Mas as it has been active there for more than a decade. He also said he stands a higher chance of winning than the duo as he can speak Mandarin, Hokkien and Cantonese, enabling him to connect well with Radin Mas voters, most of whom he believes are Chinese.
