OPPOSITION party members and supporters are rallying behind Potong Pasir MP Chiam See Tong to help him succeed in his bid to win Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC.
They have been present at his Singapore People's Party (SPP) events last week and at his Meet-the-People session.
Two were present during Mr Chiam's visit to Lorong 7 Toa Payoh on Sunday morning: National Solidarity Party (NSP) organising secretary Ivan Yeo, 63; and former Workers' Party eastern committee secretary Frankie Low, 50.
On Thursday, Mr Leong Sze Hian, 57, a past president of the Society of Financial Service Professionals, was at Mr Chiam's Meet-the-People session in Potong Pasir. He was there to offer financial counselling to Potong Pasir residents.
But Mr Chiam, 76, was tight-lipped on Sunday on what role such supporters might ultimately play.
Saying the make-up of his team will be revealed on Nomination Day, he would only add that 'we consider all of them supporters'.

if he lost in election how can he be an elected mp, unless they amend the constitution and appoint by decree.
