Don’t be a hero, Dr Chee

Dr Chee Soon Juan, please do not force the issue and try to be a hero in this Punggol East by-election. If the WP refuses to bend and give way to the SDP to stand for this BE, then gracefully vacate the slot.
If you do not and instead stubbornly hold your ground, you will not only be doing the electorate a disservice, but also get yourself pulverised once again.
As we all know, if that happens, the MIW will be the ones laughing all the way to the bank to claim their seat once again. And this will only serve to disappoint your supporters once again.
You yourself know the number of times you have been booted out in such contests in the past. Don’t forget: the more times you lose, the lesser your credibility becomes.
So, for heavens sake, Mr Chee, save your fight for another day, and let WP face the MIW in a one-to-one showdown. Your supporters will look up to you for your magnanimity, and your popularity and credibility will rise.
From the way it looks, this is not your fight. Your turn will come very soon. So please pull out graciously before it’s too late — and gain the people’s respect and admiration.
