The Reform Party's candidate for Punggol East, Mr Kenneth Jeyaretnam, says he's happy with the progress of his by-election campaign - in terms of feedback and reach.

As the campaign passes the halfway mark, Mr Jeyaretnam told reporters after his house visits this morning - that he's satisfied with the party's first rally yesterday.

He said he has received a lot of positive feedback.

On the ground, he has distributed leaflets to all the flats and has covered 25 blocks during his house-to-house visits.

"We are quite happy with how things are going at the moment. The press has tried to categorised this as a two-horse race but you should watch out for the thoroughbred that comes out from the inside."

The Reform Party is expected to hold its second and final rally - either on Wednesday or Thursday.

Mr Jeyaretnam said he'll focus on plans for the constituency in his speeches.
