What kind of Opposition and what kind of politics do you want, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong asked residents who attended the People's Action Party's rally on the last day of campaigning of the Punggol East by-election.
Dr Koh Poh Koon, who is Punggol-born and bred, wasn’t even a People’s Action Party (PAP) member when Parliament Speaker Michael Palmer resigned last month over an extramarital affair.
