The opposition Singapore Democratic Party is unlikely to field a team in Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, despite having contested there the past three elections. SDP secretary-general Chee Soon Juan said: “We are still seeing what we can do, but it looks unlikely at this stage... because we want to be able to afford to consolidate our resources.” He was speaking to the media at the launch of SDP’s campaign slogan, ‘Thrive, Not Just Survive’, on April 19. SDP has so far confirmed that it will be fielding candidates in four constituencies - the five-member Sembawang GRC, the four-member Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC, as well as the Bukit Panjang and Sembawang West single seats. “There’s no point in us just trying to just put up one or two posters, and then they see us, but then they don’t see us,” said Dr Chee, who is set to contest the newly carved out Sembawang West SMC. He added that SDP will instead focus on quality of candidates, not quantity. In Sembawang GRC, the SDP will be fielding its deputy head of policy James Gomez, party vice-chairman Bryan Lim, party treasurer Surayah Akbar, and party members Alfred Tan and Damanhuri Abas.
