Are those standing for the Punggol East by-election more keen to
beat the Workers’ Party (WP) than the People’s Action Party?
After all, there are high odds to overcome. They have to take on
the main opposition party and its candidate, who contested the last

into the fray: Envy over WP’s political ascent, desire to clip WP’s
wings and prevent them growing from strength to strength.
It could be payback for WP leaders breaking the tacit gentleman’s
agreement to avoid multi-cornered fights. Or they could be out to
guard their turf.
In the meantime, SDP decided not to contest in the Punggol East
by-election yesterday morning.
