Ivan Lim made history in Singapore for being the only election candidate the PAP announced and then withdrew due to public backlash.
A petition to revoke Mr Lim’s candidacy began circulating online after and some members of the public considered him a “shame” to the ruling party as criticism against his character and conduct mounted. “It sets a very damaging precedent that you can condemn somebody and write him off on the basis of an internet campaign. We don’t have time to settle it now, but we can’t simply write off and destroy people like this.
The 2020 election took place 11 days after Mr Lee commented on the Ivan Lim matter. The PAP suffered its second worst result at the polls since independence. Aside from losing an unprecedented 10 seats to the opposition, the party’s vote share plummeted to 61.2 per cent from the resounding 69.9 per cent it secured in the 2015 polls.
Something bad abt PAP. They don't want to talk... Hahahaha
