These two men are clearly on different wavelengths from the electorate. Mr Jeyaretnam claimed that “an overwhelming proportion of people welcomed us to Punggol East, and they knew us and they were glad to see us contesting”, yet it is obvious from social media and online forums that supporters of the opposition cause are overwhelmingly against either of them running for the by-election. Did he read the grounds wrongly, or chose simply to ignore it? And was he encouraged to join in after SDA’s foolhardy decision to go ahead?
As for Mr Lim, the less said the better. We all know what happens to a fool and his money. First time round, we were sympathetic; second time, it gets comical. He must still be sore that WP tried to snatch the ward he laid claim to.
RP argues that they offer a different policy platform and philosophy from the Worker’s Party, and that sending another WP candidate into parliament serves no benefit for the opposition cause. What benefit is there, then, to send another PAP candidate into parliament instead by virtue of their meddling? With odds so heavily stacked against the opposition, every little victory is to be celebrated, even if it goes to WP. This inability to see beyond party self-interest will only hurt RP’s credibility in the eyes of the people in the long run.
