SINGAPORE: It is believed Dr Chia Shi Lu is the new candidate in the PAP team for Tanjong Pagar GRC.

He arrived at the nomination centre on Wednesday with Dr Lily Neo, Indranee Rajah, Major General Chan Chun Sing who are on the PAP’s Tanjong Pagar slate.

The team is helmed by Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew who was also at the Singapore Chinese Girls’ School, the nomination centre for Tanjong Pagar GRC.

Dr Chia is a consultant working at the Singapore General Hospital, in Orthopaedic Surgery.

The 40—year—old is a former President Scholar.

Mr Baey Yam Keng, who was on the Tanjong Pagar GRC slate, is understood to be moved to Tampines GRC to replace new candidate Steve Tan.

Mr Steve Tan has pulled out as a candidate.

When contacted, Mr Tan said he had been discussing with his wife over the last few weeks and his reason for dropping out was due to personal considerations.

Only Soccer players get last minutes substitutions!

wow! this like a chess game where pawns are so mobile to move here and there. baey yam keng bragged and boasted in his blog that there would be no contestant in tg pagar GRC. could this be a ploy by lau lee that he's quite tired about this metrosexual decorative vase and the only way to get rid of him is to send him into the wilderness where voters are unfamiliar about him?

liao!! baey ayamking is going to be finally roasted, crispy, crunchy and chewed to the bones! :p

Last minute pull out also not safe sometimes.

At least we know Lily Neo is safe. Tg Pagar wins or lose is not important. We want a soul who really care for the needy and able to challenge Vivian Balakrishnan and screamed at the speaker sir without batting an eyelid.

And we were led to believe that PAP has a very stringent selection process.

Even they themself got snooked. So much for bragging airbag.

Selection process stringent but seems to be for primarily for party loyalty and free of skeletons in the closet.

But at what cost? See the others that were dragged in together......

Don't worry, there are still many heartless soul like Vivian Balakrihsnan under PAP camp. You closed your eyes and throw one tiny pebbles, you are likely to hit the target.

Quoted from one of his ex-colleagues:

"it was the marketing department of the admin and research unit of NTUC umbrella union. he was there in '05 as deputy director or something, a rising star so to speak, "young and talented, up and coming"... yada yada yada.

Let me just cut to the chase: there were no less than 2 girls who worked there the same time i did who told me of their sexual harassment experience with this guy. and as far as i know it went unreported, undisclosed.. and there were many others who also knew of it. but it seems not enough people stood up for themselves or for the others to make it known."

 

[@rmadill0]

He does have that "chee hong" look.

So this is how stringent the selection process is. Look presentable can liao.

Footballers used this gesture to taunt opponents after scoring a goal.
Even now gesture is banned because it incites violence.

When a reporter persisted in asking the reason in LHL press conference, he nearly threw a tantrum.
Reverted back to his "silver spoon in the mouth, everything smoothly laid out for him" persona.
Kudos to the reporter for having the gumption to ask and persist.
Before her, anothe reporter asked how LHL planned to allocate the resources since 82 seats were being contested.
