National Solidarity Party plans to field some 30 candidates in next GE
By Saifulbahri Ismail | Posted: 11 September 2010 1904 hrsSINGAPORE : The National Solidarity Party (NSP) plans to field some 30 candidates in the next general election, to be held before February 2012.
This is an increase from the 12 candidates NSP fielded in the last elections.
At a news conference on Saturday, the opposition party hinted it is looking at contesting in the Tampines and Jalan Besar GRCs.
The party also revealed two potential candidates to contest in the upcoming elections.
A Malay Bureau was launched as well. NSP said the formation of its Malay Bureau will help achieve its aim of sending the party's first Malay candidate into Parliament, whether as an MP or Non-Constituency MP.
National Solidarity Party's secretary-general Goh Meng Seng said: "For our party, we are prepared to give priority to the Malay candidates to walk into Parliament, to raise issues not only on the Malay community, but also Singapore (issues).
"We have the trust in our Malay candidates to do so because they are not radical, they are open-minded Malay professionals."
Zulkifli Baharudin, a political observer and former Nominated Member of Parliament, said: "If indeed this is an indication of more and more Singaporeans who want to be part of the opposition, to participate in elections and to devote their lives to be the alternative to the PAP (People's Action Party), to improve the lives of the people, and to offer Singaporeans more choices in the coming elections, then I think it is a positive development.
"But if it is only because they feel that even if they lose the elections, there are more places for them to be NCMPs, then I do not think that is the right motivation in politics."- CNA/ms

My bad.

NSP doesnt look very solid. This GMS is always posting in sammyboy and he gets into petty fights with forumites.
-
Agree with Rock^Star. He looks more like an opportunist.... and doesnt talk too well too....
Sometimes GMS comments sound weird. Especially his "Sell HDB flat to contest in elections"..... -_-"
If you cant afford $20,000, and shirk your responsibilities as a father and husband to have a home for your family ... u sure u can be the MP of a GRC or SMC? -

Before nomination day, every opposition parties will come together and hold a meeting to announce where they will fight PAP, to avoid having a 3 corner fight. -
