Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts (Mica), Mr Lui Tuck Yew, 49, has said that he and his team had alerted the Police over a confrontation they had with a member of the public while on their campaign trail.
Writing on his Facebook page yesterday evening, the PAP candidate for the four-man team at Moulmein-Kallang Group Representation Constituency, called it the “most nasty moment of our campaign so far.”
Mr Lui wrote that a resident, who had claimed to be an ardent Opposition supporter and a member of the management committee, was threatening him and his team, shouting vulgarities at them.
Mr Lui did not say where exactly this took place but said the resident had accused the 10 of them of trespassing, “calling the PAP government the worst (more vulgarities) government in the world.”
Mr Lui added that they had explained to him that a resident had invited them in but the man was not convinced.
Said Mr Lui: “He just wasn’t interested in any explanation. I certainly hope that even our most ardent PAP supporter would not resort to such behaviour when he encounters the opposition.
“Just so that this episode would be placed on record, we alerted the Police. Hopefully, this will be the first and last of such encounters.”
