He won't give up, independent candidate Ooi Boon Ewe told reporters outside the Methodist Girls' School nomination centre earlier this morning (June 30).

The 79-year-old, who had been disqualified from elections six times before, said he wants to contest in Bukit Panjang SMC. He also showed the media his cashier's order for the $13,500 deposit.
