GE2020: SDP chief Chee Soon Juan and Paul Tambyah react to Bukit Panjang SMC result 

It's really sad to see that Singaporeans repeatedly deny Dr Chee, a man who has fought so hard over the years. I just don't understand. Have we all lost our humanity...

he looks exhausted af

Dr Chee has a beautiful and loving family. He is already a winner !!!

I am sad honestly. Give these two man a shot in the parliament. I am just not sure if they will try again next election. They have come forward after so many years, drained out by now. Still not elected. Getting older. Singaporean really not thinking about the big picture. How many of our current ministers enter the parliament through helicopter by grc. U think they will go through what these two went through all these years and not get elected. Sigh...

Respect to Dr Chee.

so disappointed in the 2 bukits...... these 2 men have been fighting for so long and they’re getting exhausted now...

These two doctors should have just migrated where their expertise and services are appreciated. We singaporeans dont deserve them. Another GE where full mandate will be given to PAP to change the constituitions. They changed last president to be Malay only. Whats next?

SDP, don’t be disheartened because you did pit up a good fight and almost win in bukit Panjang Smc

Dr Chee is only man will ask hot question

don’t forget there are a lot of older residents who are not exposed to social media and carry on with their daily lives oblivious what transpires around them. No other way to put it, but after older generation dies off, the next batch of voters will then have a higher volume and that’s why Dr Chee and team, please don’t give up

Why would u not vote for an international acclaimed infectious disease expert during a pandemic?

Dr Chee and Dr Paul you have fought the good fight! Take heart that many young singaporeans would have voted for you had they been in a position to. Have a good rest. So proud of those like you willing to make sacrifices for a better Singapore! 🇸🇬

Thank you Dr Chee and Dr Paul. You put up a tough fight. Respect.. But seriously Bukit Panjang, you guys screwed Dr Paul. He was the perfect man to lead us through this Pandemic and now its all down the drain..

feel so sorry for Prof thambyah and dr chee....cant believe they didnt win ....we are the losers I think ...! not them. they could have brought so much new energy and ideas and fight in parliament ....Now we go back to the usual grind. SIGH: ( Dr Chee , Dr Thambyah...give yourself three cheers and a pat on your backs. YOU DID GREAT. I WONT FORGET YOU BOTH....!

This is a joke how the hell can the opposition lose. Ppl always complain no job so much tax pap pay and pay and still vote for them.

Really sad. I can see the disappointment in their faces.

GG doctors! You put up a good fight. A lot of people are still unwilling a "good" town council for national policies.

those who voted for murali wake up la he part time mp le

Bloody close.46 54

Really can’t believe he lost thought he win,this man has alot of drive and energy and sincerity to really serve tirelessly,this man should be in together with tcb

Dr Chee I happy pls take up the ncmp post.. I want to see you in parliament .. Round 2 with Vivian balakrisnan and shamugamwill be pissing to see you in parliament

Good fight SDP! U may hav lost but u hav made good progress. Keep it up!

He sounded weary, disappointed and exhausted AF. I think Singapore lost 2 very good MP. Cannot fathom what happened at all. So many disruption, blunders, and even rats infestation, yet still voted for more blunders. Stockholm's syndrome?

U ran a good fight! 40over percent... Jiayou next time round.

PLEASE DR CHEE! I HOPE YOU WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PEOPLE! AND STAY STRONG! FIGHT FOR US THE NEXT GE25

Singapore doesn't deserve Dr Paul Tambyah and Dr Chee. Pity them...

Dr chee,hope to see you next GE.support u all the way.

Singapore lost two outstanding public servants. Singaporeans will pay a high price for giving PAP a blank Cheque. By the next election both Temasek and GIC will be bankrupt under PAP, Gst hike will continue, more foreigners will take your jobs and your children will pay a heavy price. We all lost.

Blessings to you Sir 🥰 keep fighting the good fight. Truth prevails - perseverance is key. As long as you continue on your righteous path, God will ensure you prevail. You have so many people/lives depending on you. The responsibility is great 🥰

I think Dr Chee must’ve been in shock and fatigue. He must’ve been so disappointed... couldn’t even speak properly. Poor thing.

Lose the seat but won our hearts.

This really breaks my heart. I really hope Dr Chee and Dr Paul do not give up!!!!! It’s really so upsetting to see how their votes were JUST SO CLOSE💔😭 I suspect that the two of them were actually leading the votes at 8pm. Nevertheless, really disappointed at the residents at the two Bukits, but I guess everyone has their reasons.

Thank you Dr chee and keep fighting

Dr Chee and Prof Paul, pls do not give up! SDP did very well! I am so happy that your votes have improved so much! Very hopeful that you guys will win in the next election! Singaporeans who did not vote for SDP are making the wrong choice. PAP will do worst, as they have no empathy towards the low and average income earners and families! PAP only cares for the rich and powerful. So pls make a glorious comeback after 5 years!

You guys have made the government make a big U-turn from the 10-million population ambition. What a great achievement! Without the presence of SDP, this election campaign would have been a very dull one. And, you have helped to reduce the popular vote of PAP to some degree, which will humble them. You show to the world how incredible our opposition can be. Thank you very much indeed. Sincerely with all good wishes

Dr Chee did well. Take heart.

What Dr Chee need is charisma. A very good candidate, liken to the chinese medicine. Effective but bitter to take in. Some sugar coating perhaps to win..next time. Jamus win..if I am right. He’s very charismatic, a good speaker and put his idea across effectively.

Please come back stronger, and more optimistic - we need you and your team, Dr Chee and Prof. Tambyah. See you back in 2025. Many best wishes.

Good work Dr Chee, do have a good rest

I m Sooooo. SAD......😞 😪😪😪😪 v heavy heart 😏

Bukit Buttock residents: Why?

Why people voted for Murali rather than someone who has a heart in the right place?

Batokians, you all have failed this man. You have lost such a great asset. Please vote better next time.

I guess BB prefer part time mp

Thank you Dr Chee and Dr Paul for leading your great team. Please push and press in. U have always contested based on policies, continue and perseveres standing in for us. Thank you. 🙏

Sad day for Singapore....

Hope both can go parliment as ncmp. Dun need to serve the ungrateful Singaporeans full time . Singaporean prefer their hdb value over their children future

Batokians what's happening? New citizens or you sabo yourselves?

Watch this live the other day,although lost,Dr Chee soon juan speech made me respect him. Salute Sir.

SDP, Dr Chee and team , continune to fight for good cause you believe. The people will feel your sincerity and more willing to give you a chance to serve in parliament. Peace be with you. Stay safe and good health.

both of you have won the hearts of your supporters /voters that's what really matters! God bless you both for shining His Light ! Luke 21 v 28 When these things begin to take place Stand up and Lift up your heads Because your Redemption is Drawing Near!

Dr, Chee , u n your team , great ppl. Journey is hard . U been treat unfairly somehow. We all know. Many still believe in u. I m always proud of u , a man who take so much pain n never give up. U are fighter as always. Pls be strong as always. Thank u again

Thank you for everything! It’s not the end, it’s just the beginning!!! Woo hoo!! Thank you thank you thank you !!!

Have a real good rest, jiayou!!!

Cheers for Dr Chee You are brave and never give up You are almost there, Bukit Batok and Bukit Panjang different is less than 10% Get more good candidates like Dr Pual Tambyah Well done Dr Chee, Well done SDP!

You did not lose. You lost because of lack of understanding from those people, especially those from Pioneer & Merdeka generations who do not understand how deep and complex the lake is when all they see is still peaceful water on its surface.

If only those 18 yrs old and above were able to vote, things might have turned out differently. Next election once these people have come of age, we'll see the real changes there.

Thank you Dr Chee for all the hard work that you've had put in over the past few decades and the recent years as you have the drive to press on and never give up everytime when things dont go your way as when met with failure,you learn from it and get stronger. I sincerely believe in the next election you would win bukit batok support in 2025,Dr Chee jia you

You have put up a brave fight. Bravo to you and your team. My family and I will still continue to support you in the next election. 👍👍👍👍

😥😥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

SDP.......u fought a good battle. Dr Chee, u brought up a really good issue about ultimate population numbers. PAP can deny but many ppl are with u. To keep going for so Long is admirable. I am happy the percentage has moved closer to victory. For now, take a rest and God bless u and Paul.

Man... Bukit panjang..

Good efforts! Our hearts are with you.

We are not giving up

What was done within the 2 hours extended time? Rigged votes?

BB residents voted to have a PT mp instead of a FT mp...what a disappointment. SDP has been working hard all these years.Let them be a voice in parliament.

I am surprised and disappointed too that these two doctors lost by a neck of a race as both of this man can represent a strong voices for the people in parliament. Please do not give up.

Dr Chee, Dr Paul Tambyah, don’t give up Stay strong 💪💪💪💪💪, for our next generation.

Thank you Dr Chee and Tambyah, you and your team fought well. We don't deserve you guys.

If PAP really hv voters support , y r we not hearing voters celebrating in the constituency PAP won?

Maybe that 2 hrs extended,must be twisted,so on the lose must still be the opposition....no idea....

I think new citizens have turned the table on them in a very difficult time.

Demand recount n scrutiny of each vote and ballot boxes. Check nric against voting ticket issued. Check for inconsistency

Better luck next time to you Sir and your team.

Chee really worked very hard and is now exhausted inside out God is your Strength Grace and Peace be Multiplied to you and Paul

I have high hopes that SDP CHJ or Dr. Tambyah would be able to snatch a seat in the Parliament. But, hey, PAP is going downhill with these 4G leaderships, so keep going, Hope to see you in the next election.

I was a Counting Agent. The ELD must be reformed, like Dr Paul said.

Dr Chee... Haish really breaks my heart to see him lost again even though he got a huge chance to win this year.... Initially as a first time voter I have a bad impression of him as a 'troublemaker' politician... However listening to his speech abt being a full time mp & seeing his posted photos abt how "run down" Bukit Batok is, my perception of him changed and as a Gen Z I am rooting for him now. Dr Chee pls come and contest again next election. Gen Z will support you!!! #GenZrise #DrCheeRise

Our lions 🦁 Dr Chee you and your team are our hero’s 💪👍👏👏.. god bless your team you will come bk

Hazel Poa (Dr Tan Cheng Bock's team member) is my junior college classmate who terminated her bond with MAS. Trust that brilliant people with a heart to serve know what we don't. Give them a chance to make some changes for goodness sake.

45% is great! Continue to fight, Dr Chee. I am sure you will be the next Sitoh who tirelessly fought to win the votes at potong pasir. Don't give up. Press on! We need brave and selfless people like you to stand guard. I don't think our gratitude is enough knowing the hard times (decades) you have been through. We appreciate and love you.

Just to raise some concerns for all to consider. *Disclaimer: I believe so far my concerns are unfounded but remains only as a possibility :* Today the news announced that analysts feels that PAP should allow Pritam Singh to access some data. This move could make the people feel less need for more opposition to enter parliament especially PSP. The risk here is , if there is a I scratch your back and you scratch mine, where only one person pritam is allowed access, if Pritam plays the game, that's it. Why was pritam brought along with pap to attend a foreign event with pap people where pritam said something not typical as opposition leader? I think Gone case. Something is happening. We should have a check on WP. Why should pap be so nice to Pritam Singh? What deal has been struck ? And they intentionally did not attend the Chinese language TV debate citing a reason that was not convincing. As if they already knew what was to happen ? Was it a move to make wp look like it's not a Chinese leader party? I think pritam needs to come Clean . People are not so naive. WP's weakest link can be Pritam Singh or whoever leads WP. They can even strike a deal to form a coalition govt if pap continue to perform less than desired. I hope all my concerns will never turn out to be true. Nevertheless, the risks remain unless someone can debunk me.

Keep the spirit high 💪

Deep down, we knew you and Dr Paul have won the "battle"💪 ..let the "unwise" bury their heads in the sand still and wallow in sorrow for their future...

This video aged well.

Pls work with wp on these issues

The sad face of Dr. Paul Tambyah said it all .. !!! It grieves us but does Bukit Batok and Bukit Panjang residents realize that it to their very own loss. Two of the very best comitted politicians who are deeply passionate and highly caring are not voted in.

Dr Chee and Dr Tambyah, thank you for putting up a good fight. We are not worthy.

Very disappointed. Why BB n BP cannot be proud of their strong opposition candidate and vote for them. Dr chee has been so passionate and resilient. We need such leader esp in tough times to stand strong. Dr chee is a gentleman.

Kindly, come back stronger n contest in AMK GRC. You would do gr8.

Despite all the cock ups and arrogance of PAP, and despite all the sacrifices, efforts and perseverance of Dr Chee, it really baffles me as to why voters still decided to vote PAP. It is quite unbelievable... rejecting a would be full time MP for a part time one, that’s really smart. It’s madness..

Please take up the NCMP role!!! Please stay strong!!

Salute!

😥

They put up a good fight, we all salute and see you soon

Dr Paul shouldn’t be sad, if he understands what he is dealing with. I think every 5 years we will see him once...?

Crisis or not, SDP you were awesome and great. It's a borderline. Believe miracles happens don't doubt it. Believe!!!!! Congrats SDP

Great ... 👏👏👏👍👍👍🙇

Dr Chee you guys did a very good job !!!! and put up a very good fight . You guys should won but too bad some the BB residents has no balls and chicken out last minutes .

These men deserves to be in Parliament. Shame on those who denies and rejects their dedication. They can do so much good to all Singaporeans.
