Not true, checked this. Sylvia responded to the second email. The first email and second email was only one day apart.

That being established, it means WP was not wrong not to work with SDP and cannot be accused of being arrogant when they have responded to SDP twice (first time Sylvia, second time Gerald).
They backed out because the members aren't happy with Chee's doings. Look at the press conference Chee had to pitch proposal to WP. No one was sitting next to him.
The plan to run probably fell apart because Chee couldn't even find a candidate willing to run.
OK, stand corrected. Still, 2 e-mails.
If SDP agreed with you on that, it means they continue to think that other parties should always play by their rules even when it comes to answering emails. That's scary.
Or he could be intentionally trying to damage the WP.
After the presidential election, everyone knows how damaging it is to split votes. Now the opposition supporters will consider who amongst the opposition candidates will likely win the most votes, and vote accordingly. The electorate has learning capability.
Yes, but there are some in the electorate who dislike WP as they consider WP to be too mild.
Just like those who refused to vote for Tan Cheng Bock because they thought he would not be aggressive or confrontational enough.
Basically, the "ANTI-PAP AT ALL COSTS" crowd would not vote for WP, and these people would have preferred SDP to contest.
shud noe wen 2 fite n wen 2 wok away ... :o
Well, we can agree to disagree, but I am pretty sure that Kenneth Jeyaretnam will get more than 2% of the votes.
There are some old timers who believe in the JBJ brand name and who will vote for him.
Some of the hardcore SDP supporters now will have nowhere to cast their votes - they would rather vote KJ than LLL.
However, I think it is a given that KJ will lose his deposit. What is the requirement to get it back? 12.5%?
Sad news just in:: SDP has just withdrawing from the by-election
Not opposition division per se, but WP's division from the rest of the opposition. LTK's arrogance was startling.

sigh. you are the type of sdp supporters that bro erotica69 aptly describes.
I can't imagine someone donating money to the SDP being happy to see this:
