SINGAPORE: People's Action Party (PAP) candidate for Punggol East, Dr Koh Poh Koon, said he is fighting his own race in the by-election.
Dr Koh also stressed that the lack of PAP leaders' presence in his walkabout does not signify that the party places less emphasis on this by-election.
Dr Koh said he prefers to offer a personal touch by interacting directly with residents and believes constituents would also prefer to see and meet the person they will be electing into Parliament.
He said that it is important to address the needs of residents.
Tackling community concerns, he said, will bring immediate reprieve for residents.
Dr Koh was speaking to reporters after his walkabout in the estate.
He ran into the Reform Party's Kenneth Jeyaretnam when he went to the Rivervale Mall for lunch.
The two exchanged pleasantries.
