SINGAPORE - A three-cornered fight is set for Pioneer SMC, as the Progress Singapore Party and an independent candidate will challenge the ruling PAP for the seat.
In a surprise twist, an independent candidate Mr Cheang Peng Wah, who declined to give his age or occupation, is also running for the single seat. The retired financial accountant, who carried a bunch of sunflowers and a Singapore flag, could not get enough assentors to enter the centre and left after an hour of waiting.
He opted to run instead at Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC with his party against incumbents PAP and fellow opposition side Singapore Democratic Alliance.
