The choice to not announce NSP’s intentions to dispel/confirm the rumours created by Goh Meng Seng is an action by itself.
As seen from the public reaction, these rumours have affected the image of the NSP. By not actively refuting Goh (if there are no intentions to contest), this lingering doubt festers and further erode the NSP’s credibility to opposition supporters.
Inaction by itself is an action. And as of all actions there is always a price to pay.
The comments are awaiting moderation after 2 days. Maybe non-supportive comments are not welcome to NSP.
*Edit* The Hougang By election came and went. WP won, and NSP did not participate as a spoiler.
