THE tide may be turning in favour of the opposition in Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, said opposition veteran Chiam See Tong, who is leading a team from the Singapore People's Party to contest in the ward.
Speaking to reporters at a walkabout in Bishan on Sunday morning, he said that the 'overwhelming' welcome he has received from residents there has led him to believe he now holds a slight edge over the PAP.
'We are elated and, in fact, we are overwhelmed by the warmth of the people at Bishan-Toa Payoh,' he said.
About a month ago, Mr Chiam, 76, had said that his chances in Bishan-Toa Payoh were 50-50, with the PAP team just ahead.
