Congratz is in order for PAP's Dr Chia Shi Lu, a surgeon.
Before 10am on Nomination Day, no one knew who he was. By 12 noon, it was "Meet your new MP, residents of Tanjong Pagar!" and he was $16,000 a month richer.
Like tiobehpio, man.
Dr Chia was brought in last minute to replace Baey Yam Keng in Tanjong Pagar GRC (the only walkover), and Baey was sent to Tampines GRC to replace unionist Steve Tan, who pulled out last minute for personal reasons.
So drama.
