SMU Assistant Professor of Law Eugene Tan shared his views about the possibilities of PAP fielding Ong Ye Kung as a candidate in Hougang. He did not think that the possibilities are high. He commented that Hougang is a strong base for the Workers' Party, and at this juncture, it would be difficult for the ruling party to succeed here. If Ong Ye Kung fails a second time round, his political career would come to an end. Additionally, if he is posted to a GRC at the next election, he will also be accused of going the ?GRC back-door'.
