SINGAPORE: Singapore People's Party (SPP) Secretary-General Chiam See Tong said he feels encouraged by the reactions of residents in Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, where his party is intending to contest in the upcoming general election.
Mr Chiam, who will stand in the GRC, spent Thursday evening reaching out to the rush hour crowd at Toa Payoh bus interchange.
He was accompanied by members of his team, 48-year-old Mr Mohamad Hamim Aliyas, who is a founding member of the SPP, Mr Wilfred Leung and Mr Benjamin Pwee.
Mr Chiam said he is happy about the lineup and residents have been supportive during his walkabouts in the area.
The last candidate, whom he has yet to introduce, is widely expected to be Mr Jimmy Lee, a former government scholar like Mr Pwee.
"We have got very highly qualified candidates and we have also candidates from the grassroots," Mr Chiam said.
He said his team will step up on walkabouts in the area.
"The other candidates are not as well known as myself. Many of the residents recognise me, and I'm sure they have confidence in me," said Mr Chiam.
