  Not that I do not support the opposition, but I do not like the SDP.

  There are many opposition people. Why do you think the PAP only criticises Mr J. B. Jeyaretnam and Mr Chee Soon Juan?

  Yes, we welcome alternative voices in parliament. However, we do not need people who fabricate facts or manipulate information.

  If the opposition candidate is Mr FireIce, I may vote for him - depending on how he campaign. But, if it is Mr Chee Soon Juan, no way.

  Mr Chee Soon Juan may have put up a good show, but his record is ugly. A leopard cannot change its spots. Sorry.

  
  I hate PAP to the core and will support anyone who is against them. CSJ is PAP's kryptonite.

  By-election 2016

  Bukit Batok SMC 

  PAP 61.2% (-11.8)

  SDP 38.8% (+12.4)

  By-election 2013

  Punggol East SMC

  PAP 43.7% (-10.8)

  WP 54.5% (+13)

  SDA 0.57% (-3.88)

  RP 1.2% (+1.2)

  By-election 2012

  Hougang SMC

  PAP 37.9% (+2.7)

  WP 62.1% (-2.7)

   

  the effect of the passing of LKY is still fresh on voters mind. the similar swing in % that is observed in Bukit Batok proved this. if that effect is not, then the result should be very close to SDP 45: PAP 55.

  Mr Chee Soon Juan said,

  

  Personally, I do not think he will really be a full-time MP or use his MP allowance to "assist 10 low-income families".

  By the way, these are old tactics used by the opposition.

  Luckily he never say he will relocate to live in Bukit Batok SMC if he is elected.
