He made the remarks while speaking to the media after a walkabout in Keat Hong on 12 Jan.
Addressing the 4 Jan incident between PSP and PAP volunteers, Dr Tan said, "We don’t want to use tactics that shouldn’t be carried out in Singapore. Let us not be involved in any other kind of rude or any other behaviour that’s uncalled for."
For the uninitiated, both sides have alleged harassment from the other, and provided a different account of what happened.
According to Chua Chu Kang GRC MP Low Yen Ling, PSP volunteers started the altercation after both team crossed paths during their block visits. One man from PSP intimidated a PAP volunteer and slapped his face twice, and the same man also taunted a second PAP volunteer, she said.
However, PSP member and former election candidate S. Nallakaruppan said that PAP volunteers had started following PSP's Chua Chu Kang team during their block visits at Goodview Gardens in Bukit Gombak.
Dr Tan also previously shared a video allegedly taken by a PSP volunteer in a lift. In the video, a man can be seen filming PSP volunteers at close range. It's unclear if he is a PAP volunteer.
A police report was filed by a PSP volunteer and investigations are ongoing. PSP and Low confirmed that the police have been in touch regarding the incident.
