I have ran the race of a gentleman : SDA's Desmond Lim

Singapore Democratic Alliance candidate for the Punggol East by-election Desmond Lim says he has run the campaign race as a gentleman. 

Speaking to reporters on the final day of campaigning, Mr Lim said he has not resorted to any personal attacks and has always respected his opponents. 

Mr Lim hopes residents will see the merit in appointing a gentleman. 

The Secretary-General of SDA also described the nine days of hustings as a 'real campaign' as compared to the general election in 2011 when Mr Lim also contested in the ward.

Mr Lim explained that in this by-election he has the support of professionals for logistics, operations, finance and the media. 

This has allowed him to completely focus on reaching out to the voters. 

Mr Lim is expected to upload more videos of his online rally today. 

He hopes the significant number of views of his clips can be translated into votes on polling day. 

Mr Lim said he will be spending time with his wife and son on cooling-off day tomorrow. 

"The reason why I need to spend time with them is that I have been spending most of my time outside for the last one over week, and I really miss them. I hope that tomorrow I will have a good time with them and catch up on the time lost. I will cook breakfast, lunch and dinner, I will cook for them and maybe if we still have time in between we may go out for a walk."
