With Opposition politician Chee Soon Juan biting at his heels, Murali Pillai’s headache just got worse.
The People’s Action Party (PAP) man just appeared in a 54-second video to talk about an online post about his son. It was painful to watch.
With both hands on his chest, the lawyer said: “Yes, I am not a perfect father. Yes, families have issues. But no, these things should not be brought into politics. I am terribly affected by this. But I will fight on.”
A father’s anguish was clearly displayed on his face. Murali’s body language showed the angst of a father going into GE2020 trying to defend his single seat of Bukit Batok, which he won with a 67.6 per cent vote share in the 2016 by-election.
Not a mean feat as Murali had fought in a town with a high Chinese majority, most of them belonging to the older generation. They even had a problem pronouncing his name — so Murali’s minders told the residents to call him Ah Mu.
This time round, the Chee-Murali contest could just turn out to be a closer one.
