SMU Assistant Professor of Law and NMP Eugene Tan commented on the convincing win that voters handed WP in Hougang and said that while the PAP ran a good campaign, it ?did not seem to have moved the Hougang voter?. Professor Tan said: ?Much as we may not want to look at the results as reflecting national sentiment, it may be necessary for the ruling party to rethink policies... It seems there is the sense that perhaps the policy tweaks are not good enough.?
