Heckling has no place in politics
THE conduct of the heckler who wanted to be known as "Mr Hum" was unacceptable when he tried to provoke Minister and MP Lim Hwee Hua ("Lim Hwee Hua waylaid by heckler"; Thursday).
I believe most Singaporeans would not tolerate such atrocious behaviour. Having said this, I urge the police to take firm action against anyone who heckles any political candidate, whether from the People's Action Party or the opposition, on the campaign trail.
