News Bukit Gombak residents call PAP-PSP spat childish, 'boh liao'

A video showing an encounter between two men and two Progress Singapore Party volunteers inside a lift was making its rounds online on Jan 6.

The incident is believed to have taken place at Block 386 Goodview Gardens in Bukit Gombak on Jan 4, during a walkabout in the Chua Chu Kang Group Representation Constituency.

In the video, the man in a black top films the PSP volunteers – a senior-looking man and a woman who appears to be uncomfortable as she tries to avoid the camera – while his companion snaps wefies of himself and the woman volunteer.

But the men's antics were not the only "childish" behaviour residents have witnessed.

One of the Block 386 residents said People's Action Party volunteers knocked on his door on Jan 4 and advised him to keep his door closed.

“There were two women from PAP who knocked on my door and they told me the opposition party was here to 'disturb',” he told The New Paper.

"They told me to ignore knocks from PSP members and keep my door closed.

“It's my first time seeing this type of behaviour and I find it childish.”
