Ooi Boon Ewe intends to run in Punggol East by-election
By Kimberly Spykerman | Posted: 10 January 2013 1236 hrs

SINGAPORE: The man who failed in his bids to contest in the 2011 General and Presidential elections said he'll be back as an independent candidate in the Punggol East by-election, set for 26 January.

Mr Ooi Boon Ewe, 71, was the first to show up at the Elections Department at 10:40am on Thursday to collect the nomination papers.

He told reporters that he's running for the seat, as politics is in his blood.

Mr Ooi, who lives in Sengkang and is self-employed, said he'll be a full-time Member of Parliament, if elected.

But he acknowledged that it'll be a tough fight, and added that he's prepared for it.

Mr Ooi said even though he's not confident because of what had happened in his past attempts, he'll continue to come up with new ideas. "When you're an experienced politician, you're not scared of anything. You're a fighter. So you fight," he said.

all those parties and independents should not back out from the election at the last minute. give stupid excuses like no nominators or forget to bring IC.

declare contest already. then contest the election to the bitter end.

Those who are eligible and have shown interest should be encouraged to participate. Contest of ideas must be allowed in a free society. Let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend..
