Residents in multi corner fight in GRC/SMC should tell those mozzie parties right in their face you will not vote for them during their walkabout, so they will not submit their nomination. Every vote counts.

So that you can actually cast a vote for people whom you think have what it takes to represent you in parliament.

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

Asked by CNA if the materialisation of the plans was contingent on the incumbent People’s Action Party (PAP) members being voted in at the next General Election, Mr Gan reiterated that the plan was developed by the incumbent Chua Chu Kang Town Council team.

"So it depends on who … is in charge of the town," said Mr Gan. "And if there’s a new team, the new team may have different ideas, they have different things that they want to do."

This Jeffery Siow is confirmed minister caliber

And over 200 upgrading projects.

Two new People's Action Party (PAP) faces were introduced at the launch of Jurong-Clementi Town Council's (JCTC) Five-Year Master Plan – David Hoe and Cassandra Lee.

The event was attended by Minister for Sustainability and the Environment and Minister-in-Charge of Trade Relations Grace Fu at the Canopy near J Link Pedestrian Mall in Jurong East on Apr. 5.

Fu was also joined by Ministers of State Rahayu Mahzam and Murali Pillai, who are also MPs in Jurong and Bukit Batok, respectively.

Jurong MPs Xie Yao Quan and Tan Wu Meng were also present.

New faces​

Fu introduced Hoe and Lee as new volunteers in their team who will be assist the town council in managing the Jurong, Clementi and Bukit Batok area.

Hoe was a former teacher who spent several years in the private sector before taking on his current job as the director of philanthropy at The Majurity Trust.

Lee started volunteering in Yuhua 16 years ago and has led a Barrier-Free-Accessibility project for the division, working closely with residents and the town council. She's a lawyer specialising in technology, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity at management consultancy EY.

“They will bring new energy and experience in community bonding and building to the current team,” Fu added.

More than 200 upgrading projects in the next five years​

In her speech at the event, Fu also highlighted that the transition to direct management has enabled the town council to be more responsive and effective at addressing Jurong-Clementi residents' concerns in the past five years.

The Jurong-Clementi Town Council currently oversees 84,685 residential and commercial units across seven divisions: Bukit Batok, Bukit Batok East, Clementi, Jurong Central, Jurong Spring, Taman Jurong, and Yuhua.

Over 80 per cent of residents expressed satisfaction in the latest Municipal Services Survey, Fu said.

The Repairs & Redecoration work has been expedited since the country moved on from Covid-19 and the town council has completed R&R works for over 361 blocks, with 296 blocks currently underway and 243 blocks in the pipeline.

Fu also added that sustainability is at the core of the Jurong town and highlighted the importance of partnership.

At the event, Fu also announced the partnership with Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) & Jurong Community Hospital (JCH) on the safe use of fitness equipment in public spaces.

"Jurong-Clementi Town Council is proud to lead the way as the first Town Council in Singapore with this wellness-focused estate," Fu said.

In the next five years, Jurong residents can look forward to a total of more than 200 upgrading projects, which include nine older estates to be rejuvenated, a new ‘Sports-in-Precinct’ initiative in Yuhua, and more than 40 sheltered linkways.

Jurong residents can also expect the Integrated Transport Hub, more cycling paths, the new Clementi Polyclinic and Jurong Polyclinic, and the new Science Centre in the near future.

Fu also added that the team will work hit the ground to understand new areas such as Hong Kah North better.

"Hong Kah North plan will be our plan, if we get the mandate to manage the town," Fu said.

[StoicGuy]

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.

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.
