SMU Assistant Professor of Law Eugene Tan said that the Workers’ Party (WP) will try to show how different Lee Li Lian’s contribution would be if she is elected. “Others might say, ‘do you want the same voice?’ since the Workers’ Party already has eight voices in Parliament. If it’s a three-cornered or multi-cornered fight, the party may want to show how Lee has a different voice perhaps,” he said. He also predicted that the fight at Punggol East will be a two-horse race between the WP and the People’s Action Party, even if others join in the battle. “The others run the danger of faring very badly or even losing their deposits… Even if SDP sends their candidate, the opposition supporters are likely to stand behind just one candidate and that’s likely to be Lee,” he warned.
