SINGAPORE - Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat said Singaporeans will need to decide who can better serve them, in response to former People's Action Party (PAP) MP Tan Cheng Bock's return to politics.
Dr Tan's move to form a political party is "a development that is not totally unexpected", Mr Heng said on Sunday (Jan 20) on the sidelines of a community event in Tampines.

"Singaporeans will have to decide on who can serve them better, and I will leave Singaporeans to make that judgment," he said.


Mr Heng, first assistant secretary-general of the ruling PAP, is the first PAP leader to weigh in on news of Dr Tan setting up a political party.

Tan Cheng Bock applies to form new Progress Singapore Party
Last Friday, Dr Tan, 78, announced that he had applied last Wednesday to register the Progress Singapore Party, which includes 11 other "like-minded Singaporeans", some of whom are former PAP cadres.
The six-term MP, who retired from politics in 2006, lost narrowly to Dr Tony Tan Keng Yam in the 2011 Presidential Election. He resigned from the PAP that year.
The next general election must be held by April 2021.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam said he bumped into Dr Tan Cheng Bock last Saturday (Jan 19) during his usual morning walkabout at Chong Pang hawker centre and the nearby coffee shops.
"I told Dr Tan to come more often. I tell this to a lot (of) people - good for business in Chong Pang," he said, adding that he also took a photograph with Dr Tan.
Dr Tan also posted on Facebook photographs from his breakfast in Chong Pang. In one of them, he was seen with former National Solidarity Party acting secretary-general Hazel Poa, who contested in the 2011 General Election.
Ms Poa could not be contacted for comment.

I don't think he alone can unseat the PAP in any given GRC since the PAP has been so entrenched and laid so many booby traps waiting to ambush any oppo candidate. You need a dream team; just like the time when the WP first won their GRC battle with GY anchoring his PAP team.

 

[Robert Half]

I respected WP Mr Low

He won a GRC for us

And I doubt that anyone now in the oppie politics can do better than him.

Hope Paul Tambyah switches over to TCB’s party. Win-win for both. Carrying on with SDP will not win him a seat in parliament.

Dear fake Policeman Heng,

Shut your gap.

 

[Lestat]

From PAP to PSP.

How to win when oppies are not even united?

And I doubt that anyone now in the oppie politics can do better than him.

And I am sure Mr @PTADER will disagree...

I guess from Tcb from past stance , he will position his party in the middle left of the political spectrum. It might be too hard for left leaning PT to accept the party's centrist position.

PT is a wasted talent for opposition. An absolute top notch candidate who joins a wrong party . If only he knows that politics is an art of compromise and learn not to behave and think like an activist.

Very funny the oppies here, giving all sorts of advice to politicians.

Good people will always get elected, regardless of party affiliation. That's why PAP has 83 out of 89 seats!
