He’s got a blog too, and has also disabled comments for the time being.
Still, much, much better than engaging young and stupid volunteers who think they’re ingterneck experts. Fake Facebook accounts? WTF were you guys thinking?
Update:
From Selena : on the phone, mr ng and mr nazem informed me that it was due to a last minute change in a nominator. whatever the case, mr ng has reiterated to me that he will return everything that was transferred to Ms noraine and himself yesterday. please help to pass the message on. thanks

FUNDS NEEDED URGENTLY FOR INDEPENDENT TANJONG PAGAR GRC
As you have read in today’s ST, the independent opposition team that was to run for Tanjong Pagar GRC had to pull out for lack of funds. If you’d like to donate, please give what you can by transferring funds to POSB SAVINGS ACCT 104280293 NOW
Apparently you can do so by tonight, and you can call 81721071 to verify.
Please note that only Singaporeans can donate.
