SINGAPORE - As General Election fever heats up, two Desmonds - People's Action Party's (PAP) Desmond Choo as well as Singapore Democratic Alliance's (SDA) Desmond Lim - worked the ground yesterday in the respective constituencies that they are eyeing.
Hosting a block party for Hougang residents, PAP's Mr Choo said about three to four of every 10 households invited him into their homes for a chat.
"The feeling that I get is a very warm one," said Mr Choo, 32, who is second adviser to Hougang grassroots organisations.
"They are very open to sharing their issues with us and some even invited me over for dinner, so I think that is a very good sign."
Meanwhile, the SDA's Desmond Lim - who has expressed interest in contesting Punggol East - met residents at Rivervale Crescent.
Besides distributing pamphlets, Mr Lim also went on house visits.
