MR JEFFREY LIEW: 'As a member of the public, I was troubled to read about the dispute between the People's Association grassroots organisations, and Hougang Town Council ('Grassroots stand by accounts of WP tactics', 'Battle for space' and 'We were thwarted by WP'; last Thursday). There are new faces in Hougang: Mr Yaw Shin Leong of the Workers' Party and Mr Desmond Choo of the People's Action Party. What matters is whether the two men can put the previous generation's politics behind them and serve residents without fear or favour. It is sad that old political baggage has been tossed around with a presidential election in the background. It is unpleasant, regardless of who is right.'
