GE2020: Doing a finger heart gesture, Dr Tan Cheng Bock said, “At my age now, I’m beginning to learn new things.” To chuckles from reporters, he added, “Sometimes I do my walkabouts, all the young fellows will come and call me ‘hypebeast Ah Gong’.”

SINGAPORE — Parliament will be “sterile” with “one voice” if Members of Parliament did not ask the right questions, said Progress Singapore Party chief Dr Tan Cheng Bock on Wednesday .

“So what I'm hoping that if we get a chance to go into Parliament, I would expect the MPs who have got in to ask the right questions, not just ask question for the sake of asking questions, but to actually ask questions to delve further into the subject, so that you can have full understanding, and then this will be reflected to the ground by all your media,” he said.

Dr Tan described his current campaign as a “good experience”, although it did curtail his party movements. He managed to learn about new technology and terminology, which he said was “quite fun”. Said Dr Tan, “The key message is I'm always trying to hope the Singaporeans will understand, is a question of every government must be...examined based on certain very fundamental principles to have a good government.”
