Dr Tan has a strong record in the west of Singapore, including in Taman Jurong and Jurong Spring, which are now part of West Coast-Jurong West GRC, said Mr Leong, adding the party intends to do its best to engage every resident leading up to the election.
When asked about where the party plans to contest in the upcoming election, including West Coast-Jurong GRC, Dr Tan declined to reveal their strategy, but confirmed that the team has been decided and that it would be keeping its options open.
PSP will also be meeting with other opposition parties to coordinate their approach soon, said Mr Leong.
The party will try to avoid three-cornered fights, which is very important, Dr Tan added.
Dr Tan started his clinic in Jurong East, as well as started and chaired the Jurong East Town Council, he shared on Sunday. He was also chairman of South West CDC.
“When my friend saw the changes, they expressed sadness for me … (They) said, ‘You are going to a new area. You fought so hard in West Coast now you’ve got to fight again in Jurong’,” said Dr Tan on Sunday.
“Where we go, we fight. Because we’re all fighting for the country, for Singapore, and that’s most important.”
