[SINGAPORE] A three-cornered fight is brewing at Bukit Batok Single Member Constituency, with independent candidate Samir Salim Neji, a managing director of software firm Anaplan Asia, joining the fight between PAP incumbent David Ong and Singapore Democratic Party candidate Sadasivam Veriyah, reported Channel News Asia.
A managing director of a publishing firm, Mr Ong was elected an MP for the Bukit Batok single seat ward in 2011, when it came under the Jurong Group Representation Constituency (GRC). It has now been carved out as a single seat under the new electoral boundaries revealed last month.
