SINGAPORE: The Bukit Batok by-election will be held on May 7, after President Tony Tan Keng Yam issued the writ of election on Wednesday (Apr 20). 

Nomination day will be on Apr 27 and the nomination centre will be Keming Primary School. 

The Bukit Batok single seat was vacated when People’s Action Party (PAP) representative David Ong resigned last month, citing a "personal indiscretion". He later sent residents a letter of apology. 

Mr Ong won the seat in the September 2015 general election with 73.02 per cent of the valid vote, while Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) candidate Sadasivam Veriyah and independent candidate Samir Salim Neji had 26.38 per cent and 0.6 per cent, respectively. There were 27,077 electors in the constituency at the time, according to the Elections Department (ELD).

Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Dr Chee Soon Juan has said he will contest the by-election, while the ruling party has put forward lawyer Murali Pillai as its candidate.

In preparation for the by-election, ELD announced that it would update the names of electors in its registers on Apr 14. 

Polling Day for the by-election is not a public holiday. Under the law, every employer has to allow every elector in his employ a reasonable period of time for voting.

Upcoming plans for Bukit Batok include assistance for needy families, "because we have rental flats; the poorest of the poor live here", says Mr Murali Pillai.

This assistance - specific to Bukit Batok residents only, I presume - is the $$$ coming from national tax coffers?

 

Surely no one would think of attempting to buy votes with tax money, right? That sort of thing simply doesn't happen here, right?

The risk of retrenchment are real especially for middle age PMET Sporean.  The thought of losing job are daunting especially if you have car loans, housing loan to pay and various bills to pay monthly. Young kids and elderly to support. This can drive a person insane.

 

"Dr Chee said he felt good about the ground campaign. Together with his team, Dr Chee outlined plans to continue engaging residents on SDP's proposals to tackle issues like the rising cost of living and elderly care. He will also be pushing for a retrenchment insurance scheme, which he said some experts had agreed with."
