ACCOMPANIED by his wife, opposition veteran Chiam See Tong on
Sunday appeared fit and ready to do battle in Bishan-Toa Payoh
GRC.
He went on a four-hour walkabout in the constituency, visiting
five coffee shops and a market, and even walking up a flight of 30
steps without help.
The 76-year-old Potong Pasir MP, who suffered a stroke in 2008,
clearly felt he had a point to prove on the walkabout - his first
in the area since the Feb 24 electoral boundaries report.
When asked about his health midway through the visit, he said to
The Straits Times: 'You can see for yourself. I'm able to climb up
a flight of steps unassisted. That should speak a lot for
itself.'
Mr Chiam also addressed for the first time talk that he might
not be able to muster enough candidates to contest a GRC.
'If I don't have a team, why should I waste my time walking
here?' he said.
