All 93 Parliamentary seats are being contested in the upcoming GE on July 10, with the PSP fielding 24 candidates, the WP 21 and the SDP 11. They are the three opposition parties contesting the highest numbers of seats. He added: “But these things, you need not worry, because first and foremost, it’s very unlikely it will happen. And to me, it’s a political ploy again.”
“That is the role of the civil servants, and any political party taking power will have to work with the civil servants who are very well-acquainted with running this country,” he said. During a walkabout with WP’s candidate Tan Chen Chen for Punggol West Single Member Constituency this morning, Singh was asked to elaborate on a point he made during his party political broadcast yesterday evening that the WP has a “long-term dream” for a healthy democracy of two or three parties who can form a competent and honest government.
