SINGAPORE: Alex Tan, who is on loan from the Singapore People's Party (SPP) to the Reform Party (RP), told Channel NewsAsia that he will likely be part of the Reform Party team which is keen to contest Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's Ang Mo Kio GRC.
Mr Tan said the paper work has not been done yet but he will officially join the Reform Party once a confirmation is made that it will contest Ang Mo Kio.
Mr Tan said the purpose of contesting at Ang Mo Kio is to prevent a walkover and give residents the chance to vote.
He refuted claims by some that the move to contest the GRC is a tactic to keep the Prime Minister busy during the polls and to allow him less time to help other PAP candidates at other wards.
He said, "The PM has been doing a good job but he needs a report card", adding that the percentage of votes Mr Lee gets will be a gauge of his performance in the last five years.
Another SPP member on loan to RP - Mr Jay Ting, is also expected to be part of the RP team hoping to contest Ang Mo Kio GRC.

See what I mean when I said musical chairs.

He really move around to lend his support to the mps.
Good move from RP to contest there to contain him....but there is still one person that can go around...his father.
RP might stand no chance at all, including the deposits money. But it is an encouragement sign from RP to let the resident have the chance to vote.

Wont lose deposits one, dont worry, unless there are 3 corner fights in AMK GRC.

If it cannot hit a certain percantage of votes, can kiss goodbye to his deposit. -

I'd say they'll get less than the last one, under 30%.

Going by what you said.....If all PAP ministers lose their seats in their respective GRCs but all still remain as ministers, then what is the purpose of election?

No, it was 82 out of 84 seats still PAP.

Now we have 2 walkover, meaning they have won a few seat already.

Walkover for pap means people support pap.
