Chiam deserves to be a brand - he's proven his mettle
<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->

I REFER to last Thursday's commentary, 'Chiam's GRC move: Gamble or gambit?', and would like to share my thoughts. Mr Chiam See Tong deserves to be a 'brand' because he has proven his mettle in a quarter of a century.
There are no compelling reasons why he needs to consider retiring from politics, looking at the ruling party's older politicians. Why should he not capitalise on his valuable political experience and his brand to capture group representation constituencies when he sees the opportunity?
There is good synergy for collaboration between Mr Chiam and the Reform Party's Mr Kenneth Jeyaretnam. It makes good political sense to combine their strengths.
There are many issues that affect the lives of middle- and lower-income groups. What the Government perceives as good for the country may not match the aspirations of these groups.
