This morning during rush hour, our Nee Soon team hit the ground bright and early to meet residents and ask for their support.

Despite the hustle, many took a moment to greet us, share a kind word, or shout a cheerful “Jiayou!” as they headed to the MRT. Your encouragement keeps us going.

Later, we met a resident from Springleaf Estate who shared a concern voiced by many in the area—the lack of last-mile public transport connectivity. It’s a real challenge, especially for the elderly, families with young children, and those commuting in poor weather.

We’ve heard you, and we’re committed to working with residents to raise these issues and push for real solutions.
Because every neighbourhood matters—and every voice counts.

His rally speech at yishun stadium just now was pretty impressive. He didn't stand behind the lectern reading from a script. He was pacing about the stage speaking impromptu, giving lots of facts and figures off the top of his head.

hence he is a Senior Counsel for a reason

Weaker PAP and stronger opposition could be better for Singapore: RDU chief
https://www.straitstimes.com/live-singapore-election-nomination-day-2025

A weaker PAP with more opposition members in Parliament might be advantageous for Singapore, suggested Red Dot United (RDU) secretary-general Ravi Philemon on the final day of hustings at Block 925 Yishun Central 1.

Responding to recent comments from PAP leaders such as Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and Health Minister Ong Ye Kung that voting for the opposition will weaken the Government in these challenging times, Mr Philemon said: “If PAP becomes weaker, will Singapore become stronger?

“The PAP is not going to lose its power any time soon. It’s still going to have a majority in Parliament. Let’s not forget, they have a walkover in (Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC), so they already have five people in the House.”

Mr Philemon, who is helming a five-member team in Nee Soon GRC against a PAP slate led by Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam, called on his opponent to clarify what political appointments could be on the cards for two members of the PAP slate.

Mr Shanmugam had said at a rally last night that two new members of the team – Ms Goh Hanyan and Dr Syed Harun Alhabsyi – could be potential political office-holders.

Mr Philemon said that the kind of political appointment matters, and questioned what they would do if appointed as mayors, parliamentary secretaries or senior parliamentary secretaries.

“We have seen that the PAP has a bloated Cabinet and bloated government, and we want to cut the fat at the top,” he said.

He added that he is confident of RDU’s chances in securing Nee Soon GRC because he has seen “subtle shifts” on the ground in terms of support for his team.

“It doesn’t add up”: RDU calls on PAP to account for Nee Soon MPs
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/ge2025-campaigning-day-9-general-election-5085676

It's the final day of hustings and Red Dot United's Nee Soon GRC team is hitting the streets in Yishun in its final push for votes.

Party chief Ravi Philemon told journalists the PAP should account for why it had "removed" its previous MPs for the constituency.

Among the incumbents, only Law Minister K Shanmugam is contesting the GRC this election, leading four new faces.

Mr Derrick Goh, Ms Carrie Tan and Mr Louis Ng are not running this time and Associate Professor Faishal Ibrahim has moved to Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC.

Describing Mr Ng as the "most hardworking MP in parliament" based on "statistics", Mr Philemon said: "Everybody should have the right to retire when they want to," but "I think Mr Shanmugam could have convinced him to stay on."

He also questioned Mr Ng’s promise to continue offering his help and support to new MPs, saying: "Why stay on … when you resigned? It doesn’t add up.”

In contrast, he said RDU’s candidate Ms Sharon Lin has been a Nee Soon resident her whole life and hence knows residents' concerns, adding he is also not unknown in the area.

Mr Philemon said he has yet to see Mr Shanmugam on the ground, musing that the law minister must be avoiding RDU on the campaign trail.

However, he said PAP volunteers frequently turned up at areas where RDU was campaigning to give out flyers.

"It’s comical," said Mr Philemon. "That seems to be the strategy of the PAP — to see where we are on the ground. They have eyes and ears on the ground."

As for RDU, he said the party’s only strategy is hard work.

Mr Philemon recalled a hawker in Chong Pang who whispered "I'm voting for you" to him while PAP volunteers milled nearby, saying such interactions give the team confidence that "the ground is shifting".

Whether they win or lose on May 3, the RDU chief said the party is committed to continue walking the ground and would make an effort to visit every block and every resident before the next GE.

He added: “That's our promise to Nee Soon voters because Nee Soon matters.”

Likening his team to a "David" versus PAP’s "Goliath", Mr Philemon said that while their opponent is "formidable", RDU has always "punched above our weight".
