SINGAPORE: The Reform Party said it is likely to
contest Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's team at Ang Mo Kio GRC
this General Election.
Party Secretary-General Kenneth Jeyaretnam said the Reform Party
team for Ang Mo Kio could include - Mr Alex Tan and Mr Jay Ting -
both of whom are on loan from the Singapore People's Party.
This was revealed during a visit to Telok Blangah by the Reform
Party West Coast GRC team and supporters this evening.
Mr Jeyaretnam's 14-year-old son, Jared Jeyaretnam was also
present.
Mr Jeyaretnam did not give further details but said he hopes to see
every seat contested by the opposition.
"We'll also be holding a team in reserve in case any of the other
GRCs plans should fall through," said Mr Jeyaretnam.
Meanwhile, Mr Kenneth Jeyaretnam added that Socialist Front
Chairman Ng Teck Siong is planning to contest Minister Mentor Lee
Kuan Yew's team at Tanjong Pagar GRC, together with members from
the Singapore Democratic Alliance.
Opposition parties have said that they want to contest all 27
constituencies at the coming polls.
If that happens, it will be the first time all seats in a General
Election are contested since Singapore's Independence.
