Desmond Lim of SDA, Singpo to contest

SDA (Singapore Democratic Alliance) will field Desmond Lim Bak Chuan to contest in the Punggol East By-Election. Desmond Lim was the candidate to forfeit his $16,000 deposit when he garnered only around 4.45% of the votes in Punggol East ward in the General Election 2011.


Desmond's slogan is 'Dedicated Local, Determined Leader' and SDA said Desmond has a "Never Say Die" attitude.

While I salute Desmond Lim's attitude, I would like to say that it will already be an achievement for Desmond Lim if his deposit is not forfeited this time round or if he can outperform his 4.45% votes he obtained in the General Election 2011. I believe Desmond will not be happy if this time round, he were to just get 3% or lower of his votes.

I still remember Singpo, the ant character Desmond Lim introduced to Punggol East residents in General Election 2011. Desmond also sold some of the Singpo soft toys at his rally then. I managed to find a video clip related to Singpo in Youtube:


I believe Desmond Lim is sincere and hardworking. Let us see how Desmond Lim and Singpo will fare in the coming Punggol East By-Election!
