Singapore GE2020: From Marymount to Potong Pasir, 6 SMCs to watch singaporevotes
MARYMOUNT The newly carved-out seat of Marymount is likely to see a straight fight between the People's Action Party and the Progress Singapore Party .
The PSP candidate will be former Singaporeans First chairman Ang Yong Guan. The psychiatrist was a Singapore Democratic Party candidate in Holland-Bukit Timah GRC in 2011, and in 2015 represented the now-dissolved SingFirst in Tanjong Pagar GRC. The current MP for the area is the PAP's Henry Kwek. He will face off against the PSP's Kumaran Pillai, the head of a venture accelerator and former publisher of online news portal The Independent Singapore.
YIO CHU KANG This may also be the scene of a three-cornered fight. The PAP, the PSP and the Reform Party could face off in this new single-seat constituency, previously part of Ang Mo Kio GRC. BUKIT BATOK The contest over this seat will, just as in 2015, involve the PAP and the Singapore Democratic Party .
Both men contested the 2016 Bukit Batok by-election following Mr Ong's resignation due to a personal indiscretion, and Mr Murali won 61.2 per cent of the vote against Dr Chee.
