March Holidays Task 1: An article a day - PM Lee says he will call by-election in Hougang 12.3.2012

Dear all,

In this holiday, there will be 5 simple tasks for you to complete.

This is task 1.

Read this article.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Friday he would call a by-election in Hougang, but had not decided on when it would be held.

Noting that the single-seat constituency is vacant after former MP Yaw Shin Leong was expelled by the Workers' Party (WP), PM Lee said: 'I intend to call a by-election in Hougang to fill this vacancy. However, I have not yet decided on the timing of the by-election.'

In deciding on the timing, he said he would take into account all relevant factors. These include Hougang residents' well-being, issues on the national agenda, and the international backdrop that 'affects our prosperity and security'.

PM Lee was responding in Parliament to Mr Christopher de Souza (Holland-Bukit Timah GRC), who had asked if the PM was considering holding a by-election in Hougang, and if so, when.
