PM vs RN (son of AMK?) Round Two

[Confuseous]

SO Mr Roy Ngerng is going from political blogger to political activist to…election candidate?

After he submitted an official application to join the Reform Party (RP), Mr Ngerng donned the party’s yellow polo tee for the first time to join its members on a walkabout in Telok Blangah last night.

He is not yet a party member as the party’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) has not approved his application. But it seems like a mere formality. Its secretary-general, Mr Kenneth Andrew Jeyaretnam, expects the application to go through.

Asked why he decided to join the opposition, Mr Ngerng said: “I have always supported all the opposition parties and I believe that the opposition has to be united so that they can win more seats in parliament. I have volunteered for the People’s Action Party and attended party events of the Singapore Democratic Party.”

Two days ago, Mr Ngerng mused aloud on his blog Heart Truths about contemplating entry into the political fray. He said he saw through the People’s Action Party’s “true colours” after facing what he called political persecution...http://themiddleground.sg/2015/08/06/roy-ngerng-versus-pm-lee-part-2/

After he submitted an official application to join the Reform Party (RP), Mr Ngerng donned the party’s yellow polo tee for the first time to join its members on a walkabout in Telok Blangah last night.
He is not yet a party member as the party’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) has not approved his application. But it seems like a mere formality. Its secretary-general, Mr Kenneth Andrew Jeyaretnam, expects the application to go through.
Asked why he decided to join the opposition, Mr Ngerng said: “I have always supported all the opposition parties and I believe that the opposition has to be united so that they can win more seats in parliament. I have volunteered for the People’s Action Party and attended party events of the Singapore Democratic Party.”
Two days ago, Mr Ngerng mused aloud on his blog Heart Truths about contemplating entry into the political fray. He said he saw through the People’s Action Party’s “true colours” after facing what he called political persecution. There seems to be some confusion about whether he wants a place in Parliament or is aiming to get into Government.

This is not the first time Mr Ngerng tried to get into Parliament. In May 2014, he applied to become a Nominated Member of Parliament, amid the background of the Prime Minister’s defamation case against him over his comments on the CPF. Last month, Mr Ngerng cross-examined PM Lee Hsien Loong on the stand when the case turned to the amount of damages he should pay the PM for libel.
Asked why he chose RP over the other opposition parties, Mr Ngerng said: “I have quite a close relationship with RP and Mr Kenneth Jeyaretnam because he took part in some of my protests. We have also had discussions on the topic of Central Provident Funds.”
Clearly they share the same views on the CPF, going by a brochure handed out to residents.

(Image by Yusof Najeer)He might just be going head to head with PM Lee again. If he was given the opportunity to contest, he would pick Ang Mo Kio GRC, PM Lee’s ward. The reason he gave for choice of ward: “I have grown up in Ang Mo Kio and it is a familiar place to me, so I am keen to stand there.”
In the last GE, the Reform Party party took 30.67 per cent of the votes in Ang Mo Kio GRC.

He and four other RP members lost to the PAP team led by Trade and Industry minister Lim Hng Kiang, taking 33.43 per cent of votes in the 2011 GE.
