Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan said on Saturday night that his party’s proposal to conduct a joint campaign with the Workers’ Party (WP) had been interpreted wrongly by the public.
Asked why he thought it had received negative feedback, particularly from netizens, he said: “I think it was misinterpreted.”
He said that when SDP suggested fielding a candidate who would push SDP’s policies in Parliament while WP ran the town council, it also meant to say it could be the other way round as well.
Said Dr Chee: “That part on ‘vice versa’ was not put out prominently enough. People must understand that we want to make sure that we avoid a three-cornered fight any way we can.” Full story
