Mr. Chiam See Tong has retired from electoral politics.
Mr. Chiam is a man respected even by his political rivals. He is a gentleman politician, who not only was never sued by the PAP, but even successfully sued PAP’s ministers.
Mr. Chiam had it very tough from Mr. Lee Kuan Yew but also won his respect; Mr. Lee said that Mr. Chiam was a good MP.
The respect was mutual and Mr. Chiam was given a special place during Mr. Lee’s funeral, even though he was an opposition leader.
In the end, it wasn’t the PAP who hurt Mr. Chiam the most.
It was his former protege Chee Soon Juan who broke his heart and robbed Mr. Chiam of the party SDP that he founded.
Mr. Chiam was the one who groomed Chee, helped him and supported him. Yet Chee back-stabbed him and destroyed his mentor and benefactor.
Nothing is more despicable.
Younger voters at Holland-Bukit Timah GRC must take note. They will not remember but should be aware.
Do you want a despicable man like Chee Soon Juan to be your MP?
Remember Mr. Chiam See Tong when you cast your vote.
