Mr Lim was accompanied by around 10 different party members and participants, including SDA secretary-general Abu Mohamed and at least one new mouth , businessman Muhammad Faizal Mohmad.
Asked about people who contested in past elections but have not been manifest at latest events- such as Mr Kelvin Ong- Mr Lim said they were still with the group and that” when the occasion comes… we did arrive up”.
Pulau Ubin, an island in north Singapore, used to be piece of East Coast GRC but has been redrawn into Pasir Ris-Changi GRC for the upcoming elections.
SDA has said it does rely on this previously formed district, which absorbed regions from the now-defunct Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC- which the opposition group had contested repeatedly since 2006.
The rest of the towns in Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC are part of a fresh four-member Punggol GRC, which has also subsumed Punggol West SMC.
At the last poll in 2020, the solitary seat was won by PAP’s Sun Xueling against WP’s Tan Chen Chen.
The WP has no confirmed if it will challenge in Punggol, though its members- including fresh face Sufyan Mikhail Putra Mohd Kamil- have been seen walking the floor that.
Mr Lim was asked if SDA may prevent a three-cornered struggle in Punggol.
” We rarely go into other people’s area… and we are not the one that activates,” said Mr Lim.
” We have been quite consistently- after every vote- been current in that district Pasir Ris-Punggol, and now it’s Pasir Ris-Changi. “
