Kapitan Goh Meng Seng: NSP likely to field Nicole Seah in Hougang by-election

Though he does not have any official position in the National Solidarity Party (NSP), Goh Meng Seng still talks and behaves as if he is its Secretary-General.
After ranting at the Workers Party continuously for the past four weeks, Mr Goh now dropped a bombshell: Nicole Seah is likely to be fielded in the Hougang by-election if NSP decides to contest in it.
The Hougang seat was left vacant after its ex-WP MP Yaw Shin Leong was sacked from the Workers Party a month ago over his failure to address swirling rumors of his alleged extra-marital affairs with multiple married women, including a neighbor from China.
All the opposition parties have indicated that they would not vie with the Workers Party to contest in the Hougang by-election with the exception of NSP.
In an article written in Chinese posted on his blog yesterday, Mr Goh wrote that NSP is ‘likely’ to contest in Hougang to test its ‘strength’ and the price to pay for will be not ‘too high’ even if its candidate loses the election deposit like what happened to Singapore Democratic Alliance Desmond Lim when he contested in Punggol East in the last General Election against the PAP and WP.
(“国民团结党可能会以这次补选做为往后选战的前哨战，以试探彼此的实力。尤其是在这单选区的补选就算失去按金，代价也不会太大。”)
Mr Goh then revealed NSP’s plans to send Nicole Seah to contest in Hougang:
“If the NSP really contest in Hougang, it is likely to send Nicole Seah whose popularity is likely to cause a lot of damage to Workers Party’s Png Eng Huat.”
There are speculations that the Workers Party may field its veteran politician Png Eng Huat in Hougang as he has been appointed to chair the Hougang Constituency Committee recently.
(如果国民团结党真的打算到后港打三角战的话，它很有可能会派佘雪玲上阵。高知名度的佘雪玲将对工人党的方荣发造成最大的冲击。)
He added:
“If the Workers Party really loses Hougang as a result of Nicole Seah’s challenge, that is because karma is ripening.”
(如果工人党真的是因为佘雪玲的挑战而失去后港的话，那将是因果报应的终极体现了。)
