So it is a straight fight. Only Murali and Chee. But that did not stop others from getting into the limelight. First prize went to our Goh Meng Seng whose party People Power Party had applied and obtained the Political Donation certificate for their intended candidate Kwan Yue Keng . They turned up at the nomination centre with papers prepared in the event that SDP's candidate nominations could not be accepted.

Goh must have recalled the yesteryears of Workers Party when he was a member and on 2 occasions the party failed to provide the right information for the papers to be accepted and were prematurely knocked out. Goh claimed that he wanted to provide insurance and did not want PAP to get a walkover. Goh also claimed that there were complaints that SDP was breaching the rules and the possibility of a disqualification was therefore there but he did not go into details

Kwan Yue Keng for those who could recall was previously with SDP under Chiam and in 1991, polled 48.2% against PAP's Dr Ong Chit Chung in Bukit Batok. After Chiam - Chee split, he left with Chiam and then went over to NSP.

Han Hui Hui was on location and when interviewed stated that she did not support any party. Shirwin Eu said that he was looking for "fame and wealth" from being an MP and thats what inspires him. He seems to be on the right track.

PAP came in full battle order with the now customary makchik with Tudung in the front rank with Tharman, PAP MPs and their candidate. Interestingly a male Malay would not make the PAP profile complete as he might be mistaken for Eurasian and the religion does not comes across well. While a female Malay with a Tudung certifies beyond doubt that PAP is an inclusive party or at least thats what the PAP thinks or hopes for the country to think. And the Malays allow for this exploitation.
