But who will Bukit Batok residents vote for?
Here's a comparison of the two candidates that have step forward so far.

Residents of Bukit Batok, who will you choose?
A hard working candidate who has been serving you for the past 16 years OR
a jobless bum who has been going around badmouthing Singapore?
We've all seen in AHPETC what happens to a Town Council in less than one term when there is super-duper cock-ups in managing public monies less than stellar performance by the elected WP MPs.
(And please don't believe that bullshit that PAP is out fixing WP/AHPETC. Remember, Chiam See Tong managed Potong Pasir from 1984 to 2011 without any problems. And don't just take our word for it, ask any Accountant worth their salt what they think of the AHPETC case.)
This By-Election is not as straightforward or simplistic as some may want BB residents to think.
Some have said online "It doesn't matter who wins 'cos PAP is already the govt. So just vote Chee lor. More opposition better mah".
And that was what Chiam said of Chee in 1995.
Fast-forward to 2015, we have Jermery Chen, a former SDP Party member who drafted policy proposals for SDP, stating this on his blog.
Two eerily similar accounts of Chee's character, separated by 20 years and given by persons who were close to Chee / SDP. That really says a lot about Chee's true nature.
Guess the time during GE2015 when Chee Soon Juan said "Reputation is temporary, CHARACTER IS PERMANENT", he was really, really telling the truth.
And whether it is politically correct to say so or not, here is the harsh reality - BB residents will live with the consequences of their choice, for better or for worse. (Ask the residents under AHPETC if they are happy with how their monies are being managed by AHPETC.)
Yes, more diverse voices in Parliament, bringing in different viewpoints and viable alternatives is good for Singapore as a whole.
BUT the question here is "Is Chee Soon Juan the kind of person that should be in Parliament?"
Will Chee do more damage than good, not just to Singapore as a nation, but to Bukit Batok residents in their daily lives?
Don't forget, Chee Soon Juan / SDP were so desperate to get into Parliament that they are willing to sacrifice sell-out their voters' welfare in exchange for a seat in Parliament.
"In the spirit of compromise and cooperation, we would like to propose that our two parties run a joint campaign and field one candidate from the SDP.
If victorious, the SDP candidate will enter Parliament and the WP will run the Punggol East Town Council."
Press statement by SDP, 11 Jan 2013 (Punggol East By-Election 2013)
Amazing bullshit logic right? Chee Soon Juan / SDP expects WP to do all the Town Council sai-kang (hardwork) and SDP will take the "glory" from a Parliament seat. Even a primary school kid will recognize this as a very unfair arrangement.
In fact Chee is so bad that even his one-time mentor, Chiam See Tong, condemns does not support him anymore.
And that was what Chiam said of Chee in 1995.

For Bukit Batok residents, much of their daily lives can be adversely affected. Much is at stake in this By-Election.
There's no such thing as a inconsequential election result. Every vote counts.

As Morpheus from the Matrix puts it, "... After this, there is no turning back."
(well, at least until the next General Elections, or if the MP resigns....again... LOL )

Think carefully.
Examine each candidate's history and character as if you were hiring a Manager or Director for your business. Do you dare trust this person?
Chose wisely.
