 In December 1958, Lim Koon Teck, former leader of the Liberal Socialists, took his seat on the benches of the Singapore People's Alliance in the Legislative Assembly.Taking up his new seat he showed that his position, however, had not changed, when he made a call, in the Legislative Assembly, for the Government to help lower income groups in need of housing, proposing that Government start a 'revolving fund' of $1,000,000 to buy land and sell cheaply as building sites, the proceeds of which could be recycled indefinitely.He was unable, under law, to contest in the 30 May 1959 election resulting from the objection to his nomination by an assistant returning officer.
