last time when Mr Chiam was ousted by Chee Choon Juan, there was no by-election right and somehow Mr Chiam was allowed to retain his MP seat.


anyway, seems that PM is in no hurry to call by-election (<== Good call by PM Lee, IMO), let WP cover for now.

d law is clear on dis.
MP will lose his/her seat if he/she ceases to be a member of d party on which ticket he/she was elected.

CST remained elected MP under SDP after ouster as SG; subsequently re-elected under SPP ticket.

Alamak, SG and BR under Aljunied, not HG. HG is SMC

Yes, by-election must be held. LTK also mentioned it already


Let's have some fun!

The following are potential candidates from the various quarters to come and contest :

YSL
GY
CST
NS
TJS ? TKL ? TCB ?

Desmond Choo PAP.

I hope NS will really join in the fight. Don't think she can speak teochew though.

Though NS is very popular island wide, she is still young for HG residents.
TJS wants to be leader, he may contest as an individual. Instinctively, I think WP candidate will win. During this time, I think LTK & SL will visit home to home to apologise & garner support (though PM may not call for by-election).

From now till by election, WP can buy time to select replacement candidate and introduce to the ground when doing home visits.

Desmond Choo PAP.

Think PAP will send Desmond Choo, see case of PP - STYP hung in there for years, but of course, strategy can always change. But Desmond not a bad choice - time to bring in more new blood - and his face is now familiar with HG people.

Don't think they will send GY lah, say for fun onie. Sekali :torchme: another time how? This time round may not have such a good CV anymore...
