Hougang is a single ward constituency and Punggol East constituency is part of Pasir Ris -Punggol GRC leh.
Punggol East is an SMC. It's not part of Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC.

Also, being a philanderer is not a 'grave mistake', it's not a mistake. What? Did he slip and fall, causing his dick to penetrate a vagina? It's a sin against the institution of marriage.
Why are all government organizations having someone who is adulterous anyway? -

Oops, very sorry, indeed I have made a mistake. Punggol East is a SMC.

If there is an overwhelming call for by election, will WP succeed to conquer Punngol East SMC ?

WP urges PM Lee to call a By-Election ASAP

i guess PAP might try to stop a by-election from happening

The PAP needs to come clean with the people what information have they got about Mr Palmer and in particular, what did they know about him prior to the May 2011 election. And if they know, why did they field Mr Palmer. I think it is sad that the voters have been misled by the PAP.

On the www.singapore-elections.com website,
There re 12 single ward constituencies. Hougang SMC is won by WP. Punggol East SMC is now vacant. So, there are 10 more SMCs that could have by election if the existing MPs made any serious mistakes

SPP Statement on the vacated seat of Punggol East SMC
The parliamentary seat for Punggol East has been effectively vacated with the resignation today of Mr Michael Palmer.
We strongly urge the Prime Minister to call for a by-election as soon as possible, to ensure that the constituents of Punggol East are democratically represented hereafter.
The SPP is of the opinion that the Workers’ Party should have the priority to contest in the by-election, due to their earlier involvement in the constituency during the 2011 General Election.

Chairman, Singapore People’s Party (SPP)
