SINGAPORE: Singapore Democratic Alliance chairman Desmond Lim Bak Chuan said he is"very confident" about his chances this election. It is his third time contesting Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC since his first outing there in 2006.
"I'm not new here. I don't fly by night, and I don't take our voters for granted, assume that I can speak online, that means I'm the better person to serve you," he said.He added that anyone can talk online"until your cows come back", but if one is not in Parliament, then he or she cannot influence the Government.
He was accompanied on his walk by several party members and fellow Pasir Ris-Punggol candidates Abu Mohamed, Kuswadi Atnawi and Kelvin Ong, handing out flyers at the plaza and at the blocks along Pasir Ris Street 51. On opposition party unity, he said:"Some parties like to shout - Unity! Unity! We never shout. We do it quietly."
"Since you want to hold it, let's hold it, no need to say anymore, we all know in our hearts. You want to hold an election to hold onto your power, hold onto your rice bowls, what are our citizens to you?"He said the party could have stayed home and not risked it, but they chose to contest because"enough is enough".
