A petition was created on change.org which is garnering signatures so as to encourage Dr Tan Cheng Bock to reconsider and accept the NCMP role in Parliament.
Here is the full message from the petition.
“Dear Dr. Tan,
Please consider the NCMP seat again.
For selfish reasons, this is the next best thing, a platform to raise national issues in Parliament, issues that will affect the lives of all Singaporean. This will also pave the way for PSP into Parliament as MPs in the next election.

Uncle Tan, we need your experience to ask hard questions and keep the government in check & keep them on their toes. Your presence will also boost and compliment the opposition’s presence.
Please reconsider, for nation, for Singaporeans, we deserve better and the best!!
thank you.”
