  Reform Party has been weakened significantly with the exodus of at least 20 members.

  Do they still have sufficient capable candidates other than its secretary general KJ ?

   

• trout

  27 Feb 11, 11:18

  Ang Mo Kio and Tanjong Pagar GRC should be contested as well...

  Most Singaporeans are sick and tired of Lee Kuan Yew asinine remarks on the media and Hsien Loong daft policy enriching his own family and friends.

  Singaporeans should think wisely and look at the long term scenario for the future of their own and their children .....VOTE OPPOSITION!

  GE: Kenneth Jeyaretnam eyeing Radin Mas SMC?
  By Satish Cheney | Posted: 27 February 2011 1852 hrs

  SINGAPORE: The Reform Party's secretary-general Kenneth Jeyaretnam said he may contest in a Single Member Constituency (SMC).
  
  A party member and observers said it could be Radin Mas.
  
  The Radin Mas ward is currently under the People's Action Party's Sam Tan, who is also Senior Parliamentary Secretary of Ministry of Trade and Industry & Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts.
  
  The Radin Mas area includes some parts of the former Anson constituency, which was won by the late opposition MP, J B Jeyaretnam in 1981.
  
  His son, Kenneth Jeyaretnam of The Reform Party, is keen to tap on his father's association with the area.
  
  The party was rocked recently by resignations and is in the mid of reorganising its Central Executive Committee.
  
  "I'm getting a lot of requests from people who want to be members and people who would like to stand as candidates, so actually I've got more than I can deal with at the moment," Mr Jeyaretnam said.
  
  The opposition parties are also in talks to avoid three-cornered fights.
  
  "We hope that everyone will see sense and we'll be able reach an amicable agreement," Mr Jeyaretnam said.
  
  He added that his party will field 13 candidates in two Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs) - West Coast and Chua Chu Kang, and three SMCs - Hong Kah North, Radin Mas and Pioneer.
  
  Members of The Reform Party were out on walkabouts at some of the wards on Sunday.
  
  Among them was 47-year-old Lim Tung Hee who previously contested as a Singapore Democratic Party member in 2001 and under the National Solidarity Party banner in 2006.
  
  Mr Lim said he joined The Reform Party a few months ago.
  
  The Reform Party was also joined by members of the Singapore People's Party, although its leader Chiam See Tong was not present. Party members said he was preparing for Monday's Budget Debate.
  
  There is still speculation on the ground that the Singapore People's Party and The Reform Party may come together to contest a GRC in the upcoming elections.
  
  However, as of now, there's been no clear indication from both sides.

  Ang Mo Kio has eventually targetted by WP once and eventually twice,man!!!But PM Lee will be likely to enjoy a walkover sooner with 6 men still in.....Whereas Sembawang has been witnessing the best fight between the PAP and the SDP team....Then WP has been targetting it and eventually SDP again...Right now,NONE at all in both!!!!!
  Marine Parade GRC has once met up by the NSP and also SDA....Then finally,DPP which we had never seen at all last time has finally resurged,targetting both it and also Tanjong Pagar GRC which has been earlier targetted by Reform.....
  Likewise,focusing on GRCs,Bishan-Toa Payoh is likely to be the next Aljunied,proving that the votes had been improving in the latter with a new division up,whilst Holland-Bukit Timah,Marine Parade and Tanjong Pagar wins much larger over the SDP and the two over 2 DPP teams.......

  Singapore GE: Opposition parties to contest all seats
  By S Ramesh/Evelyn Choo | Posted: 05 March 2011 1847 hrs

  SINGAPORE: Singapore's major opposition parties have come to an agreement to contest all 27 constituencies in the next General Election (GE), which is due before February 2012.
  
  At Saturday's meeting, they also agreed to avoid three-cornered fights in Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs), meaning most of the GRCs are likely to see a straight fight.
  
  However, in the case of the 12 Single-Member Constituencies (SMCs), the party leaders said discussions are ongoing.
  
  If the opposition parties keep to their declaration, the next GE is likely to see a situation where the PAP will not be returned to power on Nomination Day.
  
  Going into the details of where they stand to contest, Workers' Party (WP) chairman Sylvia Lim said her party will be in the Aljunied and East Coast GRCs.
  
  She said the WP is also interested in the newly-carved out Moulmein-Kallang GRC as well as Nee Soon GRC.
  
  As for the SMCs, she said her party is keen on five. These are Hougang, Joo Chiat, Punggol East, Sengkang West and Whampoa.
  
  When asked if the WP will contest the Ang Mo Kio GRC, Ms Lim said the party will not be doing so as it has to balance its resources according to its strategy.
  
  But Channel NewsAsia understands that other parties may decide to take on Ang Mo Kio GRC.
  
  The Reform Party's Mr Kenneth Jeyaretnam said his party will be contesting in the West Coast and Chua Chu Kang GRCs and also the single seats of Radin Mas, Pioneer and Hong Kah North.
  
  Meanwhile the Democratic Progressive Party's Seow Khee Leng said it will take on the Tanjong Pagar and Marine Parade GRCs.
  
  The National Solidarity Party intends to contest Tampines and Jurong GRCs.
  
  As for the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA), it plans to contest the Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC and also the single-MP seats of Punggol East and Radin Mas.
  
  Sengkang West is also under consideration, it said.
  
  Potong Pasir's MP, Mr Chiam See Tong, said he wants to contest Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC and his Singapore People's Party (SPP) also wants to run in Potong Pasir and Hong Kah North single-member constituencies.
  
  The Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) meanwhile said it would go for Holland-Bukit Timah GRC and the Bukit Panjang single-member ward.
  
  Saturday's meeting was the opposition parties' second in a week and the last to decide on the seat allocation for the coming General Election. However some of the individual parties will continue to meet on a one-on-one basis to come to a bilateral agreement, especially for the single-member constituencies, to avoid three-cornered fights.
  
  Independent candidate Andrew Kuan, who is eyeing the Joo Chiat seat, was also at Saturday's meeting. But he left the venue when organisers told him the discussion was not for independent candidates but opposition parties.
