Dear Mr Goh, I do not agree that WP is the most ambitious party, nor should they be held responsible for any three-corner fights. WP has been very careful in expanding their numbers and have largely confined to the Eastern part of Singapore.

1. In the last election, NSP fielded the most numbers of candidates among all the opposition parties, more than WP.

2. In the last election, NSP geographical coverage ranged from Pioneer/Choa Chu Kang/Jurong in the far west to Marine Parade/Tampines at the other end. There was a saying that NSP stands for North-South-East-West Party.

3. In the last Presidential Election, different NSP candidates fanned out to support different presidential candidates, participating in multi-corner fights among themselves, while this was not seen from the WP ranks.

There is no point harping about NSP's stance since Goh has left NSP.

You are right that he participated in the PE by helping Tan Kin Lian. As we know, TKL came in 4th and the votes he took could have led to a Tan Cheng Bock victory if added to TCB's votes. In other words, TKL was a vote-splitter.

There is nothing wrong with helping anyone anywhere but when Goh brings out how unhealthy 3-corner fights are, there is a mismatch of words with his deeds and the issue of his integrity arises. I know I am touching a raw nerve here, but laying out the facts as they are. He needs to pay attention to these double talks if he want to run for GE again.
