The Workers’ Party (WP) may need to seek an alternative site to locate its town council office in Punggol East. This is because the existing town council office in the constituency will continue to be used by the People’s Action Party (PAP)-run Pasir Ris-Punggol Town Council for at least another six months while the ruling party looks for another site of its own. SMU Assistant Professor of Law and NMP Eugene Tan said: “Pasir Ris-Punggol Town Council will have to be careful not to take on unnecessary bad publicity as they could be seen as stonewalling the WP. They have had enough bad press over the AIM (Action Information Management) issue and the PAP can do without another issue that can generate as much bad press”.
