PM Lee urges Hougang voters to make a fresh start
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has weighed in on the Hougang
by-election and called on voters there to make a fresh start by
voting for People's Action Party candidate Desmond Choo, who will
work with the Government to improve their lives.
In an e-mailed reply to questions from the media, Mr Lee also said
that while he fully understands the desire for alternate voices in
Parliament, 'the quality of the voices counts, and not just the
quantity'.
He was responding to the Workers' Party's point that the Hougang
seat matters to the opposition party because winning it would
increase their presence in Parliament by 20 per cent.
In his reply on Thursday, Mr Lee said: 'Whether one more MP, PAP or
opposition, makes a difference depends not on the percentage
increase that he represents to his side, but on his integrity,
commitment and ability.'
