By-election at Hougang

There's been a lot of debate going on as to whether the by-election at Hougang should be called ASAP, or it should be left hanging indefinitely. My opinion is that, it may work in WP's favour the longer it is delayed. It is said that time heals all wounds. Over time, those people who felt angry, their anger will subside. It may even turn to sympathy.

When people reflect on the actions of WP leadership, even though they had taken a long time to come to a decision, people will make comparisons. WP does not have the machinery to carry out investigations against the allegations. People will compare to the government, needing months, to implicate the heads of SCDF and CNP in misconduct; and that they took about one month to make public. So, why we expect WP to make hasty announcements?

So, my feeling is that WP may win by bigger margin the longer the by-election is delayed.

Good luck!
