Reform Party candidate Jesse Loo said 'vote for Workers' Party'

This is the second Freudian slip in three days for Reform Party.

Reform Party candidate Jesse Loo was out campaigning at Ang Mo Kio MRT station on Sept. 2.

He was heckled by a pro-PAP supporter speaking to him in Mandarin.

In his moment of exasperation, he said, "Vote for Workers' Party", before looking at the flier he was giving out to confirm he is in Reform Party.

This Freudian slip is the second time the RP has urged voters to vote for a party that is not their own.

M Ravi, who leads RP’s Ang Mo Kio GRC team, gave a rousing speech at the Raffles Institution nomination centre on Nomination Day on Sept. 1.

The human-rights lawyer then ended it off by urging voters to vote for the PAP.

Here are two videos showing RP's Jesse Loo's slip-up:

Loo also said that 90 per cent of the Singaporeans disagreed with her statement that "Lee Hsien Loong has contributed much to Singapore".
