Chiam See TongSINGAPORE: 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 in.
On Sunday, People's Action Party secretary-general Lee Hsien Loong said at the party's annual convention that there "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".
