The People's Action Party (PAP) is adopting a business-as-usual approach in Sengkang GRC, keeping up efforts on the ground it ceded to the Workers' Party (WP) at the last polls. At the same time, it is taking care not to exploit the turbulence generated by a lying scandal involving the opposition party's former MP Raeesah Khan.
PAP Sengkang insiders told The Straits Times that the party wants to avoid being perceived as taking pleasure in the incumbent WP team's misfortunes, which have spiralled from Ms Khan resigning her Sengkang seat to top WP leaders now potentially facing criminal charges.
