    Dr Tan Cheng Bock: Vote Wisely – Listen To All Parties, Examine Their Policies And Records

    How do l vote?

    My GRC Holland-Bukit Timah is being contested by two formidable teams. The incumbent team of the PAP won the last contest with 60.1%. The SDP is fielding a new team with Dr Chee Soon Juan, Professor Paul Tambyah, Sidek Mallek and Chong Wei Fung. I have friends on both teams, but there are bigger national issues to consider.

    Last night, the team from the SDP did a walkabout around my area and came to my house. They shared their vision for Singapore and asked for my vote. I listened carefully to what they had to say and will continue to think it through over the next week. Today, I plan to attend their rally to learn more about the candidates.

    In fact l just came back from the SDP rally at Chua Chu Kang Stadium where l shook hands with some SDP candidates. At the rally many Singaporeans were happy to see me and many took photos with me.

    I look forward to meeting the candidates from the PAP (Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Christopher de Souza, Liang Eng Hwa and Sim Ann) as well and likewise, I will attend the PAP rally tomorrow evening .

    We should make an effort to listen to all parties and attend their rallies – closely examining their policies and their records. We are looking for candidates who will speak up for us in Parliament. A lot is at stake for future generations. Let us vote wisely and carefully.

    Chee Soon Juan Set To Lead SDP Team In Holland-Bukit Timah GRC

    Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan looks set to lead a team to contest the Holland-Bukit Timah group representation constituency, his first contest since sitting out the last two polls due to bankruptcy.

    His four-member team in the group representation constituency (GRC) is likely to comprise National University of Singapore Yong Yoo Lin School of Medicine professor Paul Tambyah, 50, compliance auditor Sidek Mallek, 55, and healthcare administrator Chong Wai Fung, 45.

    Likely standing in Bukit Panjang single-member constituency (SMC) is former Navy staff sergeant Khung Wai Yeen, 34, who is at the same nomination centre at Assumption Pathway School.

    The SDP team for the newly created Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC will comprise psychologist John Tan, 54; former political detainee Wong Souk Yee, 56; Mr Bryan Lim, 38, who heads the party’s ground operations unit; and Mr Damanhuri Abas, 45, who until last month was the director of an Islamic college.

    Former People’s Action Party member Sadasivam Veriyah, 63, is set to contest the Bukit Batok SMC. The former teacher is at the Keming Primary School, which is also the nomination centre for Yuhua SMC, set to be the battleground for sales director Jaslyn Go, 43.
