PAP set to announce its candidate for Bukit Batok by-election; lawyer Murali said to be possibility, says report

The People's Action Party (PAP) is set to announce its candidate for the Bukit Batok by-election on Monday (March 21), and lawyer K. Muralidharan Pillai has emerged as its likely candidate.

According to Chinese language daily Lianhe Zaobao, Mr Murali, 47, had a meeting with former PAP chairman Lim Boon Heng on Sunday (March 20) night shortly after arriving back in Singapore from a holiday.

When asked about the hastily-called meeting, which took place at around 8pm at the PAP's Paya Lebar Branch office, Mr Murali told Zaobao: "Whenever I have something to discuss with my grassroots leaders, I will hold a meeting.


"I'm afraid I can't reveal the details of the meeting."

After the meeting, Mr Murali - who was part of the PAP's five-member Aljunied GRC team that lost narrowly to the Workers' Party in last year's General Election - was seen shaking hands with the branch activists and taking a group photo with them.

Mr Lim, a former Cabinet Minister, said in response to queries from the paper that it was “possible” Mr Murali would be attending Monday's press conference to announce the party's candidate.

"He just got off the plane, and needed to discuss matters with those whom he had worked alongside with for the past four years," Mr Lim added.


Mr Murali, a long-time party activist who is married with four children, was appointed PAP Paya Lebar Branch chairman on May 1, 2012.

Prior to that, the head local law firm Rajah & Tann's commercial litigation department served as branch secretary of PAP's Bukit Batok Branch under the late Dr Ong Chit Chung, who was MP for Jurong GRC from 2001 to 2011.


He also helmed committees such as Bukit Batok's Indian Activities Executive Committee and its Inter-Racial and Religious Confidence Circle.

Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam told reporters on Sunday: "We will be announcing our candidate very soon, and we are confident we have someone who is known to residents, who works very hard, and is sincere at heart."


Mr Tharman, who is the PAP's second assistant secretary-general, was asked for his comments hours after Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan announced he would contest the single seat which was vacated by former PAP MP David Ong.

"I am not surprised that Dr Chee Soon Juan has indicated that he is going to stand in Bukit Batok. We welcome the contest," he said.

Mr Tharman, who is an MP for neighbouring Jurong GRC, was at an event to mark the first anniversary of founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew's death.


He has been directly overseeing developments in the Bukit Batok single-member constituency since Mr Ong tendered his resignation two Saturdays ago, over an alleged affair with a grassroots volunteer.

He also attended last Monday's Meet-the-People Session in the constituency alongside Jurong GRC MP Ang Wei Neng, who has taken over as chairman of the Jurong-Clementi Town Council from Mr Ong.

Senior Minister of State for Home Affairs and National Development Desmond Lee is looking after the constituency in the meantime.

Last week, Mr Tharman had assured residents their needs would be tended to till they get a new MP: "We will make sure that problems are solved, that their needs are taken care of, that all the projects that are ongoing carry on smoothly and are completed."

He also said last week that the PAP had a few "very strong candidates" it was looking at:

"When we finally announce the candidate, I can assure you it will be someone committed to the interest of Bukit Batok residents, and who will be able to also speak for them and Singaporeans in Parliament."

And till today they have absolutely no idea who he is. And Don't let the one liners fool you. And more importantly he has been very helpful to those that are sincere and need guidance. We are indeed lucky to have him.

Dr. Chee is more than an equal of any PAP member and has all the intellect and qualities to manage the town, AND represent an alternative voice in parliament. I wish him every success! Give him (and yourselves) a chance! Vote for Dr.Chee!

Cheers!


SDP's Chee Soon Juan to contest Bukit Batok by-election

SINGAPORE - Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan has been named as the party's candidate for the upcoming Bukit Batok by-election, a week after incumbent MP David Ong's shock resignation over personal indiscretion.

Dr Chee, 53, was formally introduced as the party's candidate by SDP member Sadasivam Veriyah, who contested the seat in last year's general election, before a walkabout in Bukit Batok on Sunday (March 20) morning.

If elected, Dr Chee said his priority will be to ensure the efficient and productive management of the town council. "The SDP's goal is to surpass current levels of performance of PAP-run town councils," he said.

He added that the SDP wants to pioneer a new model of town council management where residents are involved in the planning and running of the community.

The party will work towards a seamless takeover of the town council if it wins the by-election, he said, adding that it will put in place a transition team to be announced in due course. "This transition team will within three working days after the election handle the transfer of the town council," he told reporters.


He said the SDP will not engage a managing agent. "Instead, we will employ qualified and experienced professionals to be part of the team."

He added that he intends to hold regular townhall meetings to ask residents about their concerns and the issues to bring up in Parliament.

SDP party has wasted no time in staking its claim to contest the single- member constituency, walking the ground there a day after Mr Ong resigned on March 12 as MP and from the People’s Action Party (PAP), citing personal indiscretion. Mr Ong, 54, is believed to have had an extramarital affair with a woman who is a grassroots leader in his ward.

In the general election last year, Mr Sadasivam, a former teacher and ex-PAP member, represented SDP to contest Bukit Batok. He stood against Mr Ong but garnered only 26.4 per cent of the votes. Mr Ong won 73 per cent in the three-way race also contested by independent Samir Salim Neji.

Dr Chee has said the party was hoping for a one-on-one contest with the PAP in the Bukit Batok by-election for which a date has not been announced.

Workers’ Party (WP) chairman Sylvia Lim has confirmed that her party will not contest the by-election.

She cited two reasons: The WP is not active in that area, and the SDP had declared its intention to run, having contested the constituency in last year’s general election.

The Singaporeans First party also ruled out running for the seat, citing the SDP's prior contest there.

Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam has said earlier the PAP had a few “very strong candidates” it was looking at to replace Mr Ong. Without revealing names, he told reporters on March 14: “When we finally announce the candidate, I can assure you it will be someone committed to the interest of Bukit Batok residents, and who will be able to also speak for them and Singaporeans in Parliament.”

As I said, reading and listening comprehension has always been his weak point. He has been led through the wild trees and the rough riverbed for two weeks now and is none the wiser
