3-cornered fight in Mountbatten

Taken from The Straits Times GE website

OMG! Who is that Indian at the right of the above picture? Well, he is private school Stansfield College's chariman, Kannappan Chettiar, and he wants to stand as an independent candidate in the Mountbatten SMC.

Now where did this guy pop out from? Accordingly to The Straits Times, he said that it was a difficult decision to make because he respects Jeanette Chong-Aruldoss, the National Solidarity Party's candidate in the SMC.

If this Indian man really respects NSP's Jeanette, he should not "stick a leg" into this constituency. By doing so, he is only reducing the chances of a non-PAP candidate winning at the elections. PAP will still have the last laugh at the end of the day.

He said that if he is elected, he will speak up about issues on property prices and the elderly. Alamak, NSP which is led by Goh Meng Seng, is already well-known for using housing as a main topic for campaigning.

Mr Chettiar can be assured that if Jeanette is elected as an MP, the same issues, if not more, will be tackled by her and her party. So I say, please be gracious and take a step back for overall good.

Dear Kannappan aka MP-wannabe, you can use the $16000 needed for your election deposit for many other meaningful purposes. Manage your law school well and maybe produce some graduates who can be good potential candidates in the future.
