A video circulating online shows an encounter between two men and two Progress Singapore Party volunteers inside a lift at a residential block in Bukit Gombak. The incident, believed to have occurred during a walkabout on January 4th, sparked debate about alleged harassment and vote-catching tactics by both parties. While some residents reported PAP volunteers urging them to keep their doors closed during the PSP visit, others recalled only interacting with PSP volunteers.
A video showing an encounter between two men and two Progress Singapore Party volunteers inside a lift was making its rounds online on Jan 6.
“There were two women from PAP who knocked on my door and they told me the opposition party was here to 'disturb',” he told The New Paper.“It's my first time seeing this type of behaviour and I find it childish.” “I saw PAP members knocking on every door on my floor and I even had a chat with Ms Low Yen Ling,” he said.The race to win over voters in the area might stem from the past General Election results in which PAP beat PSP in the Chua Chu Kang GRC by a slim margin – PAP's 58.64 per cent to PSP's 41.36 per cent.Chua Chu Kang GRC MP Low Yen Ling on Jan 8 wrote on Facebook that PSP volunteers were the ones who started the altercation.
He wrote:"Am sure Dr Tan would agree that PSP volunteers should not be involved in conduct that involves restraining, assaulting and insulting others – though he says nothing about this."On Jan 4, PSP member and former candidate S. Nallakaruppan wrote on Facebook that PAP volunteers had stalked his team during PSP’s block visits at Goodview Gardens.
