Mr. Low TK's FULL response to MM Lee KY was not published in total.
Apart from the "challenge" to draw Hougang and Potong Pasir into one GRC, Low has questioned the "advice" of MM Lee. Low said that according to what he knows, MM Lee has "squatted" in Tanjong Pagar ever since he won the seat back in the 1950s. i.e. MM Lee did not "walk out" of his own constituency to lead a GRC but rather, Anson and those areas around Tanjong Pagar had been "absorbed" into TP to form the present Tanjong Pagar GRC.
Secondly, Mr. Low said that if he was to be MM Lee, he will advise the PM to field all NEW PAP candidates in SMC since the concerns is that new candidates in PAP's rank may lack the experience in fighting electoral battles. Furthermore, those NEW PAP candidates with potentials to be ministers should lead a team with all new candidates to contest in GRC. This is to test whether such highly regarded NEW candidates could hold the ground or not.

Not a surprise that a full Low TK's response was not reported.
I always read ST's news with a huge bucket of salt, esp news about singapore's economy and politics.
