    THE two contenders for the vacant Bukit Batok seat - Murali Pillai of the People's Action Party (PAP) and Chee Soon Juan of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) - wasted no time getting their respective by-election campaigns off the ground on Wednesday.

    The Elections Department had given both men the green light to contest the single-member constituency, after they successfully navigated their way through the Nomination Day proceedings without fuss.
