Yahoo! News Singapore, 24 May 2012

People's Action Party (PAP) candidate Desmond Choo made a tearful appeal on Thursday evening for Hougang voters to give him a chance to forge a new future for them.
Speaking in English, Mandarin, Malay and Teochew at the Hougang stadium during the party’s last rally for the Hougang by-election, Choo said that he had continued his work in the single member constituency despite losing in last May's General Election (GE) because "I care and I want to serve you".
Urging voters to give him the mandate to serve them, Choo pledged, "I will defend your interests and make sure that the Government hears you. I will speak up to get the Government to take action. I will stand up for you. This is my promise to Hougang." Full story
