After going public with its correspondence with the Workers' Party (WP) , which showed the WP continually ignoring its overtures to come to the negotiating table , Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) Secretary-General Chee Soon Juan said on Monday that the party "knew all along" that its proposal to WP would be rebuffed.
By introducing its candidate on Monday afternoon, the WP formally rebuffed the SDP's proposal.
"We knew that all along, we are going to just have to do it, do whatever we have decided and go on," said Dr Chee. He was speaking to reporters last night, after a two-and-a-half hour meeting at the SDP headquarters to select the party's candidate for the coming polls.
Dr Chee said that choosing a candidate was a "difficult decision", but he declined to elaborate. Details would be revealed at a press conference on Tuesday, he said. Full story
