History
During the nomination day for the 1959 general election, Singapore Alliance's candidate, Lim Koon Teck's nomination to contest Aljunied Constituency was rejected by an assistant returning officer.[2] People's Action Party's candidate S. V. Lingam had objected to the nomination of Lim as the serial number of Lim's proposer was not filled in on the duplicate of the nomination forms.[3][4] Lim decided to appeal against the objection with an elections petition.[4] As the electoral petition can only be filed after the elections are held, Lim decided not to file the petition as he did not wish the electorate of the constituency to have a by-election so soon after the general election, if his petition was successful.[5] Lingam won the election.
