SMU Assistant Professor of Law Eugene Tan commented on the Hougang by-elections results. ?The WP is seemingly caught unaware by the by-election date, projecting an unprepared front. They have employed a largely similar campaign strategy from last year's elections. However, Low Thia Kiang is a veteran politician who understands the emotions of the voters, which is apparent from the results,? he said. Quoting Potong Pasir as an example, he also commented that it is not advisable for WP to critique the PAP government at every election. That PM Lee was the first to come to Hougang to lend support to Desmond Choo is significant.
