The muppets at SDP are "planning" to split the votes, i.e. run for the by-election.
CSJ is a MIW mole.. this confirms it

Can't believe that SDA, SDP, and RP all fail to see the big picture.
Freak lah.... if a by-election is called, just do the honourable thing and step aside for WP to represent the opposition! At least they actually got 40% of the vote in that SMC last year and has a decent chance of winning!
Are they stupid, or are they stupid?

I think PAP is buying time for themselves to do some damage control to their image in punggol east before they call for a by election in that constituency. Something is not right here....why they're afraid of losing punggol east if they are so confident that punggol east residence will support them?
-
CSJ and his other SDP member should really do some mind training to "reclaim" their brain before more damage is done : http://www.lumosity.com
-
why cant CSJ admit defeat n move on, his political career and his party is OVER
selfish braggart thinkin he is still influential
step down please or just be an adviser

SDP will contest a by-election in Punggol East
But party chief Chee not eligible for polls until 2015; possible 6-way fight looms
Dr Chee did not name any SDP candidate yesterday for the single-member constituency.
By TESSA WONG
THE Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) became the fourth opposition party yesterday to throw its hat in the ring for Punggol East.
But party chief Chee Soon Juan will not be its candidate for the single-member constituency, should a by-election be held there.
Dr Chee told reporters this during a press conference held to announce SDP's plan to contest the constituency, which fell vacant after its MP and Speaker of Parliament Michael Palmer resigned following an extramarital affair.
Reporters had asked Dr Chee if he would be SDP's candidate as he was no longer a bankrupt.
He said he was not eligible to stand for election until 2015 because of fines that exceeded $2,000.
Under the Constitution, a person is disqualified from standing in an election for five years when he has been fined more than $2,000, jailed for more than a year, or given both penalties.
Dr Chee was fined $20,000 in 2010 for four offences committed in 2005 and 2006. They were for speaking in public without a permit.
The party said it would decide on its candidate "in due course". Asked if party treasurer Vincent Wijeysingha was in the running, Dr Chee said he would "not be ruled out".
Speculation has been rife online that the party may field Dr Wijeysingha. He was present at the press conference but declined to comment.
The SDP's entry into the fray looks set to turn a Punggol East by-election into a six-cornered fight.
Three other opposition parties - Workers' Party, Reform Party and Singapore Democratic Alliance - have signalled their intention to contest while Mr Benjamin Pwee has expressed interest in running as an independent.
He is a former member of Singapore People's Party.
When asked if SDP's move would dilute the opposition vote, Dr Chee said it was targeting citizens who normally vote for the People's Action Party (PAP) but have since "lost their trust" in it.
"Our target is to win the votes over from the people who are fed up, but at the same time haven't seen an opposition party that is able to offer alternatives they can really sink their teeth into," he said.
SDP said it had produced several comprehensive policies, ranging from housing to health care.
"We would like to offer a new type of opposition politics to the voters... We are keen to put our policies before the voters of Punggol East," it said.
Dr Chee also said the SDP would be contacting other opposition parties to "come to an agreement" on who should contest.
Former Nominated MP Siew Kum Hong believes a six-cornered fight "will only hand Punggol East to the PAP on a silver platter''.
He added: "If any opposition party other than WP contests, it would be taking a huge risk of being seen as a spoiler, which would inevitably affect its chances in the next general election."

i think the MIW are shitting themselves so they activated ALL their moles

The most important national issue NOW is to find the replacement National Coach since Raddy have resigned from his post.
This is truly urgent issue as the national team need to ride the tide of the SZK Cup victory to chase for World Cup victory.
Therefore, the interest of the country should be more important than a tiny SMC by-election.
I hope the PM can consider seriously over the NEXT national coach.
-
the most important thing is when to raise their own salaries
-
so slow in decision makin
-
Raising their salary is always one of the action items during the budget.
That is the only time of the year where you can see the full attendance of the house.
Another national issue is to find LJW a job in Peking.
She have done so much and earned so much to provide the place a few piece of metal that they wanted.
Now, they must help her settled down in her homeland.
The rest of the singapore is never important.
-
Times are bad.
-
Now they are dealing withe $2 company thing.
they must be damn stressed.
-
So if PE lost to opposition party means computer system must change in TC?
i read this from another form and i lol.
