SINGAPORE : The opposition Socialist Front will not
be contesting in the upcoming General Election.
The party's Secretary General, 37-year-old lawyer Chia Ti Lik, said
there are too many multi-cornered fights this time round and the
party does not want to split the opposition vote.
He added that the party also does not endorse the Non-Constituency
Member of Parliament (NCMP) scheme.
He said the party feels the scheme will be used as an excuse by the
ruling party to convince the electorate that there is no pressing
need to vote in opposition candidates.
