The National Solidarity Party (NSP) said it intends to engage itself in a debate with National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan regarding the housing issues in Singapore.
Goh Meng Seng, the Secretary General of NSP said it wants to contest the General Election in Tampines over the policy decision of Mr. Mah, and not over personalities.
Goh Meng Seng, a businessman, said that "as Mr. Mah pointed out correctly, it’s not about Mr. Mah or about me, but his HDB policy, which will affect this, the next and future generations."
The Group Representation Constituency (GRC) of Tampines, which is headed by Mr. Mah, is a multiple-seat constituency in the Parliament that some opposition parties are targeting in the next General Election.
When NSP was asked about their rate of success at the elections, Mr. Goh said, "It’s up to us to convince constituents that Mr. Mah’s decisions are not good. If we fail to do that, we deserve to lose. Nobody owes us anything."
Yaw Shin Leong, the organizing secretary of the Workers’ Party (WP) said no decision has been made yet on whether it will contest Tampines GRC.
