PJ Thum People’s Choice for NMP in Online Poll

Obbana Rajah In an online poll done earlier this month here at The Independent Singapore, PJ Thum was chosen as the best candidate to be a Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP). Along with PJ, the other contenders were: Drag queen and comedian Kumar, cartoonist Sonny Liew, Sumiko Tan, Blogger Xiaxue, Dipna Lim Prasad and Gurmit Singh. Historian and research associate PJ Thum received 84% out of the 372 people polled. Comedian Kumar came in second with 6% and 24 votes. Netizens chimed in as well, but most of their comments seemed to be in jest.   The poll was conducted in an earlier article: https://theindependent.sg.sg/why-not-pj-thum-for-nmp/
