the sore loser?

So is the best loser in the 2001 GE really going to quit politics? He has lost again in this election and said that he will only make a comeback when there is enough people who are angry with the ruling party.

It took Mr. Chiam See Tong 4 rejections (He first contested in 1972 and that makes 12 years of fighting against all odds) before he succeeded in Potong Pasir in 1984. Not only that, he went on to be the elected MP for potong pasir for 22 more years, seeing off 6 fierce contests. He is now 71 years old but he is still fighting strong to deny the ruling party a clean sweep in the government, just as he has first rallied for when he contested in 1984.


So Mr. Chia, do you see the reality of being the Opposition Party in Singapore? You are only half-way there.
