Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has announced that the by-election in Punggol East would be held on 26 January, a Saturday.
Nomination Day is set for next Wednesday, 16 January.
After much anticipation about the by-election, the date is finally announced. During the last year general election, i did not vote because i happened to be in overseas during that period. But this time i is another chance to vote again.. Well it is not all about the chance/right voting, its about who to vote.. Punggol-East are filled with more younger Singaporeans, we need someone who can understand and take care of our needs.. First is the Rivervale Plaza thingy.. I hope it can complete by due date.. and also more affordable eateries in Punggol-East area.. The very important, more childcare centers, there are lots of young parents and newly wed in Punggol-East.. Finally improvement on the LRT system, its too crowded during morning rush hours..
Well its sad to see Michael Palmer to resign in such a way.. During my stay in Punggol-East, i have cross path with him twice.. Once bummed into him while he is doing his pre-election walk-about, he came forward to shake my hand (well election walk-about mah, you know what mean?). Second time, i cycle pass him in the morning at the park connector and was greeted a loud and lively "Good Morning" by him.. I return with a salute gesture.. and he gave a sunshine smile back.. Both times he leaves a friendly impression on me..
Well let see how this by-election goes..
