The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) and the People's Action Party (PAP) have both accused each other of harassing their volunteers during a walkabout in Bukit Gombak. Both parties have presented conflicting accounts of the events, with PSP alleging stalking and harassment by PAP volunteers, while PAP claims that PSP volunteers obstructed their own.
Both the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) and the People's Action Party (PAP) have accused each other of harassing volunteers during a walkabout in Bukit Gombak. This follows an account by PSP member S Nallakaruppan of how he and other volunteers from his party were allegedly stalked and harassed throughout their walkabout in the area last Saturday (Jan 4). Nallakaruppan wrote that PAP volunteers said it was 'their territory' and they had a right to follow them.
Whenever PSP volunteers reached a resident, PAP volunteers would quickly hand out their own flyers. Nallakaruppan described their behavior as unprofessional but said they didn't want a confrontation. Nallakaruppan, a candidate for PSP in the Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in the 2020 elections, also posted video footage, allegedly of the incident, where a man can be seen aggressively filming PSP volunteers with his phone, shoving it in their faces. Another man smiles as he takes selfies with a different PSP volunteer before using his phone to cover his own face. Chua Chu Kang GRC member of Parliament Low Yen Ling clarified her party's perspective on Wednesday (Jan 8) in a Facebook post. After speaking with her volunteers, Low said PSP had twisted the truth and given an untrue picture of what happened. According to her, at around 3pm last Saturday, a team of PAP volunteers began outreach efforts in Bukit Gombak and later encountered PSP volunteers also on a walkabout. When one PAP volunteer attempted to leave a lift to join his team, he was 'held back' by a PSP volunteer, who was quickly joined by another two who stepped into the lift
