In Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, Meet-the-People Sessions are on Tuesday evenings.

So a Writ of Election issued on a Tuesday made barely a ripple among the People’s Action Party (PAP) branches in the GRC yesterday. There was no strategy meeting, logistics planning or party pep talk in any of its five divisions.

“The residents come first,” said one activist with a shrug.

… “The PAP is probably holding back because they want to be sure who the candidates for the WP are in these areas,” noted Associate Professor Alan Chong of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies. “They are taking the opposition very seriously this time around.”
