    Chee Soon Juan: Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC By-Election Needed

    It is bad enough that the PAP has reserved the Presidential Election and that Mdm Halimah Yacob has become the President without a contest. At the same time, Mdm Halimah has left the Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC short of an MP and without a minority representative. Then the PAP says that there is no need for a by-election to fill her seat. This is an abuse of power. The PAP sees itself bigger than Singapore and continues to do as it pleases. Such unchecked control endangers the future of this nation.

    This is why the SDP has initiated legal action to ask the court to rule on the matter of a by-election when an MP vacates his/her seat.
    http://yoursdp.org/…/sdp_files_lawsuit_agai…/2017-09-13-6194 But such action entails financial costs and no one party has the means to shoulder such an expense by itself.

    We, therefore, call on all Singaporeans to contribute to this cause. Please do your part and financially support the effort to stop the PAP from continuing its abuse of power. If everyone does a little, our load will lighten and the role of holding the PAP accountable made more effective. So please donate as well as help us spread this message far and wide. Remember, we’re all in this together. You can do so online, through bank transfers or cheques. Please click here: http://yoursdp.org/index/donate/0-12

  • Damanhuri Abas: Here’s How By-Election Should Be Conducted For Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC

    Damanhuri Abas: Here’s How By-Election Should Be Conducted For Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC

    The Government must call a GRC By-election for MYT to be true to its stated desire to ensure equal Minority representation as it robustly claimed was the basis for having a reserved PE exclusive for Malays. Less it exposes its own hypocrisy to say one thing but do another for clear political interest. Enough of short-changing the Malays pretending to be benevolent when in truth they manipulate the rules and keep moving the goalpost for 52 years.

    If additional cost incurred for one is the concern as some commentators expressed, here is how to simply overcome that. They can always conduct the By-election together with the PE. It only involves MYT GRC and residence from the constituencies affected can go to the polls on that day to vote twice, both for a PE and the MPs for their GRC. Enough time to do so now. Imaginary problem solved. Lets have a By-Election in MYT together with the PE!!
