It's not about voting more opposition in Parliament: Education Minister Heng

Education Minister Heng Swee Keat hit back swiftly at opposition Workers' Party claims that residents of Punggol East should vote for them to make the PAP "work hard". He also took pains to remind voters of Punggol East that it's "not about voting more opposition into Parliament". Analysts speculated on whether voters would be impacted by the Prime Minister’s comments that Koh Poh Koon will be appointed to a political office if he wins. SMU Assistant Professor of Law Eugene Tan said that the People’s Action Party might be announcing their potential plans for Koh Poh Koon in public so as to let Punggol East voters know they are not being short-changed, considering their previous PAP MP Michael Palmer was Speaker of Parliament.
