Mr Leong called on voters to assess National Development Minister Desmond Lee – who is also contesting West Coast-Jurong West – on whether he has delivered solutions to key housing challenges such as rising prices, long BTO wait times and lease decay.
He also took aim at Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, noting that as the National Development Minister in 2018, Mr Wong had said the government would study the Voluntary Early Redevelopment Scheme (VERS).
“But until today, there is still no sound, no picture,” Mr Leong said.
PSP vice-chairperson Hazel Poa repeated the party’s request for the results of the police investigation into an alleged altercation between PAP and PSP volunteers at Bukit Gombak in January.
It is “only fair” for the results to be released before Polling Day, said Ms Poa. “PSP has nothing to hide. Does PAP?”
She also addressed reports of alleged plans to disrupt a PSP walkabout in Taman Jurong, reportedly discussed in a WhatsApp group linked to grassroots volunteers supporting PAP candidate Shawn Huang.
Mr Huang should clarify whether the plans existed and if they were executed, Ms Poa said.
PSP founder and chairman Tan Cheng Bock closed the rally with a personal message to supporters, saying the rally was likely his last.
The 85-year-old thanked voters for their support in 2020. “We may not have won, but you have given us an opportunity to go to parliament by way of Hazel and Mun Wai. They have shown you what the PSP can do in future,” said Dr Tan.
“So trust us, and tonight, I ask you to stand with me. Stand with us. Stand with PSP.”
