SMU Assistant Professor of Law and NMP Eugene Tan commented on the impending multi-corner fight between political parties at the Punggol East by-election. He said, “There is, possibly, envy over WP’s political ascent. There is (also) the desire to challenge WP on their contested turf in Punggol East and clip their wings (before) the next General Election. The move reflects a larger desire to take on the WP and prevent them growing from strength to strength.”
