The Singapore Democratic Alliance will contest only Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC at the general election, party president Desmond Lim Bak Chuan said last night, adding that he will once again lead the team.Mr Lim also said that the SDA will not contest other constituencies, and will focus its campaigning efforts on Pasir Ris-Punggol.
However, the party had a scare last night when member and potential candidate Harminder Pal Singh became faint and had to be sent to hospital. About 45 minutes into the walkabout, Mr Singh, 48, who ran in the last two general elections in 2011 and 2015, could not continue and had to sit down while someone called an ambulance.
He said the team had been keeping late nights as they prepared for the election, and had gone to bed at 3am the past few days. Also present last night was Mr Abu Mohamed, the party's secretary-general, together with party members and volunteers. Mr Abu and Mr Singh are likely candidates for the SDA.The SDA lost to the People's Action Party team, led by then Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, in 2015, garnering just 27.11 per cent of votes in the then six-member GRC.
