Statement on Punggol East By-election:
The National Solidarity Party congratulates Ms Lee Li Lian and the Workers Party on their win in the Punggol East SMC by-election.
While the present win does little to alter the balance of power in Parliament, it is an opportunity for the WP to now lead the national conversation by listening to all Singaporeans and speaking for them. In this, our sincere hope is that they will bring the same energy and industry with which they serve their own constituents, to bear on national issues as well. We look forward to more robust debates on both principle and policy in Parliament.
Finally, we also congratulate Dr Koh Poh Koon of the People's Action Party on a well fought campaign. We wish him the best.
Sincerely,
Hazel Poa
Secretary-General
on behalf of the CEC.
