SMU Assistant Professor of Law and Nominated MP Eugene Tan commented on Poh's expulsion and said that the opposition party's move "will not come as a surprise... as Poh's actions, just prior to Nomination Day, had been detrimental to the WP in that it did not put the party in good light... it was [also] something the party could do without at that time". He also dismissed talks that the party's move will reflect negatively on them. "Public opinion is with the WP... Whether the party had expelled Poh or not, the WP would come out favourably," he said.
