PAP SLATE
The PAP’s slate comprises four newcomers, following the departure of former MPs Louis Ng, Carrie Tan and Derrick Goh from politics. Another former Nee Soon MP Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim is now at the newly formed Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC.
Speaking at Tuesday’s rally, Dr Syed Harun assured residents that the PAP team will take care of those who are struggling with rising costs, and for all residents young or old.
“Just as we build covered walkways to shield you from the rain, from the lightning and the heat, we also want to build paths of life that offer shelter, protection, and hope. We want to be your shelter,” he said.
“In Yishun, the PAP reassures you that no one will be left exposed to the storm and none of you will walk alone.”
Ms Goh, who has three young children, said that she understands the concerns of Singaporeans who have to straddle multiple roles and responsibilities.
She shared that she believes in a society built on kindness, and families and caregivers should not journey alone.
“To all those who are juggling multiple responsibilities in life, we are here with you,” said Ms Goh.
Mr Shanmugam, Mr Lam and Ms Lee, both long-time volunteers in Nee Soon, also spoke about facilities and developments in Nee Soon GRC.
Nee Soon GRC, which has 151,634 voters, is one of five GRCs left unchanged from the last election.
The PAP team faces a Red Dot United team comprising secretary-general Ravi Philemon, 56, party chairman David Foo, 60, company director Pang Heng Chuan, 56, senior consultant in the IT sector Sharon Lin, 40, and teacher and theoretical physicist Syed Alwi Ahmad, 57.
