POTONG PASIR A” Lighthouse OF HOPE” ,
Addressing SPP’s ideas for the same district, Mr Lim said:” I will be the first to recognize the historical relevance of Potong Pasir SMC, and what a great reputation Mr Chiam See Tong left the criticism”.
Mr Chiam held his couch in Potong Pasir for 27 years, first as part of the Singapore Democratic Party from 1984, and then under the Genus symbol from 1997 to 2011.
His partner, Mrs Lina Chiam, contested in the district during the 2011 and 2015 public votes, but lost to PAP’s Sitoh Yih Pin both times. In 2020, Mr Sitoh beat SPP’s Jose Raymond.
” Potong Pasir was the beacon of hope for the opposition”, Mr Lim said.
” Our events may have our thoughts about contesting Potong Pasir, but as I have said earlier, the important thing is for us in this GE to get up Potong Pasir SMC. And it is feasible, it is extremely doable”.
He added that he agreed with opposition supporters who say there is” no point” in dividing the opposition vote.  ,
” But I ask for unity… letting the best criticism prospect take on the PAP in Potong Pasir, and I think the chances of us winning that again is very, very good”, he reiterated.  ,
Mr Lim also said he was sure he would have discussions with SPP’s Mr Chia, pointing to their past as fellow members of the National Solidarity Party ( NSP).
” I do know him pretty effectively. We have never had any problems in speaking with each other”, Mr Lim said, adding that he managed to talk to Mr Chia about Potong Pasir next year.
” I’m confident in the coming days, we are going to talk more about it”.
