Kenneth Jeyaretnam opens fire at both PAP and WP at first rally last night

SMU Assistant Professor of Law Eugene Tan commented that if both the PAP and WP candidates were equally capable, voters might be inclined to vote for the female candidate.

In fact, WP should be discerning in its use of the gender card, or voters might feel that Lee Lilian has nothing else to offer voters.
