SDP's Chee Siok Chin wants High Court to void GE results
Defeated Singapore Democratic Party candidate for Sembawang GRC, Ms Chee Siok Chin, has filed a summons in the High Court asking it to declare the results of the 2006 General Election null and void.
In her affidavit, Ms Chee said the PAP government had used the HDB upgrading scheme and given out shares and cash to induce voters to vote for it and secure electoral victory.
She also wants the High Court to declare the ban on podcasting during the general election as unconstitutional.
Ms Chee's claims were filed by the SDP's lawyer, M Ravi, and addressed to the Attorney General of Singapore. - CNA/ir
