The Workers' Party has turned down an invitation from the SDP to meet to discuss the opposition's participation in the by-election in Punggol East.
The SDP first wrote to WP on 8 January 2013 (before Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced the by-election on 9 January) to meet for talks. We proposed the date of 12 January.
When the by-elections was announced yesterday, we sent another email asking for the meeting to be brought forward to 11 January, Friday.
However, we received a reply from Ms Sylvia Lim that gave no indication of WP accepting our invitation. Full story
