My guess is less than 500 votes for KJ.

SINGAPORE: The Reform Party has officially announced Kenneth Jeyaretnam as its candidate for the Punggol East by-election.

The announcement comes a day before parties file their nomination papers, and just hours after Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) announced their withdrawal from the by-election.

The party announced this at a news conference outside Rivervale Plaza late on Tuesday evening.

Mr Jeyaretnam, who is also the party's secretary-general, said sentiment from residents on the party contesting has been largely welcoming.

Well, with the wild boar of Punggol East in the fray, one more hog isn't make no difference to the already multi-corner fight.

Keep our fingers crossed that these swine will have their deposits forfeited.

Let the voters of Punggol East put both parties our of contention for GE 2016 once and for all.

In 2 short years that he has led RP, he has expended all the goodwill his late father accumulated over 30 years. Sad!

Honestly does he not have friends and even family members including his wife to rely on or to bounce off ideas.

Was It RP's Territory Years Ago ?

Was Punggol East RP's territory before ? If the answer is yes, then he has the right to take back and challenge WP and PAP for it. This place is still currently 'owned' by PAP, not WP. He has a case here.

But, this will be bad for the unity if there's any. Siao liao. :*:

PE is a new SMC carved out of Pasir Ris GRC in GE 2011. KJ claimed that it was part of the Cheng San GRC which his father contested in 1997.
I feel that all these territorial claims based on who had contested in a particular constituency before are all bullshits.
Every party should have a right to contest anywhere they like.
But to be a credible politician, one should at least has a sense of ground sentiments. Obviously, KJ is not one to be taken seriously.

He can be viewed as an independent candidate.
It's almost like a one man show in RP.
Given his character, he is more suitable to contest in an SMC than a GRC.

Exactly. Nobody should demand that only a certain party "owns" a constituency. But the opposition parties should take a look at their chance of winning vis-a-vis other opposition party eyeing the same ward.

Also a candidate ought to stick around the same contituency, at least for a couple of elections. This give the candidate a chance to build up the ground support in the ward and to be seen as sincere and dependable. Jumping around is plainly opportunistic and harmful to not just KJ himself, but to LLL's chance of winning too.

Thy Beginning May Be Small

Everything has a beginning and it is always small initially.

When the RP man tells a British joke, no one laughs. A very strange phenomenon. He should learn a few tricks from Seinfield. Or maybe, that is still considered as high class. OMG ! Not Jack Neo's !

Even Kenneth wants some action. Politicians' stage is the parliament house.

""[It's like] if two companies which monopolise a market were to say we don't want any competitors, it's splitting the votes, splitting the market. A rigged market is bad for competition in business and bad for the consumer... backroom deals in politics which don't give the people a choice are bad for the voters," he asserted."

Oh wow, is this guy for real?
He should stick to economics, not politics.
