SDP walks ground in five constituencies, unveils young faces
The Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) has announced five constituencies that it plans to contest at the next General Election, but its chief Chee Soon Juan believes a crucial battleground lies in winning the youth vote.

This is where I think it's going to be an important battleground... and that's winning the hearts and minds of the younger generation," Dr Chee told the media on Sunday (Aug 4) during a walkabout, where it unveiled several young faces.
