SINGAPORE: It is likely that Potong Pasir Member of Parliament Chiam See Tong will contest in a Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in the next General Election, which is due by February 2012.
According to Singapore People’s Party (SPP) chairman Sin Kek Tong, "someone new" will be fielded to defend the Potong Pasir ward — a constituency that Mr Chiam has represented since 1984.
Mr Sin did not give any details on the potential candidate or which GRC Mr Chiam plans to contest.
On Sunday, People’s Action Party secretary—general Lee Hsien Loong said at the party’s annual convention that "had to be some change with the way we treated Potong Pasir".
He was referring to the 2006 election when Mr Chiam had urged voters to vote for him, and get "two MPs for the price of one".

poor constituents of potong pasir, after voting for CST all these years, will see him jumping ship and abandoning them.....oh dear oh dear.....even LKY stick to his tanjong pagar constituency for donkey years.> you just have to stick through with the people who believe in you and voted you in.
mr CST going for a GRC??? errr...i think he is going to be history soon...
that's why it is important to vote with your bloody eyes open.
Cross me, if u see my picture ya..tks in advance
Mr Chiam has a stroke sometimes ago and he is not as fit as before and anyway he is going to retire from politics soon. So, he tries to groom a new candidate (some say could be his wife) to look after his long-held Potong Pasir Constituency when he retired from politics while he will lend his last support to bid for a GRC to help the opposition to gain a stronghold in a GRC.

Wah like that don't know potong pasir will lost its votes to PAP or not
Perhaps Mrs CST would be a appropritate replacement.She used to accompany CST around the PP constituency and the PP residents know her well.
Sure that the ppl of PP will never jump ship.PAP has no chance in PP.
PP residents are very resilient and tough nut to crack especially when the PAP is the cracker.
