In the 2001 elections, the government wiped out the seat from the electoral map. In the 2001 General Elections, he challenged PAP's Ong Ah Heng in Nee Soon Central but only got 21.5% of the votes, compared to Ong's 78.5%. He is perhaps also remembered for his "Don't talk cock!" - a Singapore slang for "talking rubbish" - rant to Chiam See Tong in the Parliament when Chiam criticised some of Dr Chee Soon Juan's actions.
