Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) politician Bryan Lim Boon Heng received photos of rats roaming around the area of a Woodlands HDB. The photos were taken by a resident at Blk 366 Woodlands Ave 5 in the evening.

The Singapore Democratic Party regrets the Court of Appeal's decision, which dismissed Dr Wong Souk Yee's appeal and thereby showed that there is no need for a by-election when former PAP MP Halimah Yacob vacated her seat for the Presidency. The party urged Singaporeans to support it so that it can come up with better solutions and safeguard everyone's interests.

Today, I, and many other residents under Marsiling division, will become "orphans" as our MP, Halimah Yaacob, will be tendering her position as the MP and Speaker of Parliament to the Prime Minister, so that she can run in the Reserved Presidential Election.

According to PAP's GRC laws and the Singapore Constitution, the GRC scheme was primarily implemented to enshrine minority representation in Parliament. In other words, the key purpose of GRC is to have a minority MP. If Halimah Yacob quits as MP to become president of Singapore, Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC will be short their minority MP and that would be against the law and against Singapore Constitution. A by-election for the GRC must be held to have another minority MP elected into parliament.

The People’s Action Party (PAP) officially announced today its candidates for the newly-formed Marsiling-Yew Tee Group Representation Constituency (GRC) for the upcoming General Elections (GE). The four-member GRC will be made up of current Members of Parliament Lawrence Wong, Mdm Halimah Yacob, Mr Ong Teng Koon and Mr Alex Yam.
