Benjamin Harrison vs Chee Soon Juan

Harrison, a Republican, won the 1888 presidential election against incumbent Grover Cleveland. He lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College, becoming the 23rd president.

Harrison signed the Sherman Antitrust Act, the first federal law to prohibit monopolistic business practices. The act was initially used sparingly but later became a cornerstone of antitrust enforcement in the United States.

Harrison signed the McKinley Tariff, which raised average tariffs on imported goods to nearly 50%. The tariff was intended to protect American industry but led to higher consumer prices and contributed to the Republican Party's loss in the 1890 midterm elections.

Chee Soon Juan co-founded the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) as a opposition party advocating for democratic reforms and greater political freedoms. The SDP became a prominent opposition voice in Singapore.

Chee was arrested and sentenced to five weeks in prison for speaking at a public rally without a police permit. The incident highlighted restrictions on political assembly in Singapore.

Chee was declared bankrupt by the High Court after failing to pay damages from a defamation suit. The bankruptcy barred him from standing for election for several years.

Chee contested in the 2011 general election as a candidate for the SDP in the Holland-Bukit Timah GRC but lost to the PAP team. The SDP failed to win any seats.
