GMS made AMK Great Again for MIW.

No opposition will defeat PAP in AMK unless Lee is no longer running as an MP. Even the best opposition team WP tried but also defeated, let alone GMS.

People’s Power Party to contest in Ang Mo Kio GRC, introduces 24-year-old as potential GE2025 candidate​

The party's election manifesto is "Make Singapore Home Again".

The People’s Power Party (PPP) announced that they would contest in Ang Mo Kio GRC for the upcoming General Election during a morning walkabout at Chong Boon Market & Food Centre in Ang Mo Kio on Apr. 5, 2025.

The team would be led by party treasurer William Lim Lian Chin, PPP secretary-general Goh Meng Seng said.

Goh also introduced several new faces who may potentially stand as candidates, including their youngest prospective candidate to date — 24-year-old Heng Cheng Dao.

PPP also used the occasion to officially release election manifesto, "Make Singapore Home Again".

Potential candidates​

Heng said he was stepping forward to represent Singaporeans who have faced hardships growing up — something he knows firsthand.

His parents were divorced, and he started working part-time from 14, doing F&B, retail, and driving.

“In secondary school, I had to rely on food coupons to survive,” Heng shared.

Now, he wants to bring transparency and accountability back to government by being the voice of the people, he said.

PPP said Heng’s lived experience makes him a compelling representative for youth issues.

Thaddeus Thomas, 43, who works in the construction industry, called for “someone relatable” in Parliament. “I’m a common man, just like you,” he said.

He shared that he joined PPP because he sees firsthand the growing inequality on the ground — especially in sectors like his, where wage disparity has widened.

Samuel Lee, 33, is an IT executive between jobs. He spoke candidly about job security, citing long working hours and the pressures facing younger working professionals.

Cost of living & overpopulation​

Speaking to the media at 11am, Goh said the party’s manifesto focuses heavily on population and governance issues, pointing to what he described as "past 20 years of mismanagement" that affects Singaporeans' quality of life.

Goh also gave his hot take on low fertility rates in Singapore.

“The fundamental problem of low fertility rate is cost of living and overpopulation,” he said.

Clarifying that the party is not xenophobic, Goh said citizenship should be given to those who can integrate into our society.

Other key political stance​

In terms of governance, Goh reiterated the party's stance toward the "LGBTQ agenda".

He added that the agenda, alongside the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) movement should not be pushed at this juncture, as it is “detrimental to our social construct as an Asian population".

"Even Trump doesn't agree with it," he said.

He also shared that PPP is against adopting nuclear energy, arguing that if the country "cannot even manage MRT breakdowns", it should not be handling a nuclear plant.

Goh also shared that the party is against mandatory medical interventions on the grounds of human rights.

“This is about informed consent. You cannot send people to jail or fine them for deciding not to take a jab,” he said.

Winning odds​

"I think we have (a) pretty good chance," Goh said when he was asked about the party's odds at winning the Ang Mo Kio GRC.

He added that Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong's good showing in the last election could be attributed to Singaporeans being rational voters during the Covid-19 period.

However, Goh said "it is about time he takes his real report card from his people" now that SM Lee has stepped down.

He went on to address the potential "three-cornered fight" with the People's Action Party (PAP) and Singapore United Party (SUP).

Goh shared that he has "made some offers" to SUP's secretary-general Andy Zhu as he hopes to avoid a three-cornered fight but has yet to hear back from Zhu.

[tanbrave]

Looking at them I have zero confidence they can do it. Sorry if I'm too judgemental

Too judgemental can be wrong.Look at Trump.Wrong can be righted over time.Look at Wong. Time change,situation change,would you vote Trump again if give choice ? Hell no right !

All these parties dunno hide information here and there for what.

Especially woker party.

Now it's social media era liao, for so long.

Good or bad is not going to counted on paper or press release. Else PAP should win hands down with paper qualification. But they have failed.

Can articulate and present themselves well in tiktok, Instagram etc are the main key.

It’s usually the bigger opposition parties that tend to keep things under wrap until nearing nomination day to keep the element of surprise over pap. They are being stretched with the resources they have, hence there is no point to show hand so early to allow pap to counter their moves.

For instance during 2011 GE, ltk showed up at the nomination centre for Aljunied grc to the surprise of the pap, hence it was then they had the momentum over the course of the campaigning and the rest is history.
