If I were the PAP, I would put him in Hougang. The last time Edmund Chen hanged around Hougang it became possible, but I think Chen's record was a worry for PAP.
The PAP has increased NCMP seats to 9 and would not hesitate to win back all the seats anyway. Any smallest chance of ousting WP's LTK would be the star factor. Or at least better than the EQ deficient Eric.
