The Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) kicked off its second day on the campaign trail by visiting coffee shops and housing estates within
Pasir Ris-Changi GRC from 10am.
Party chair Desmond Lim, accompanied by two volunteers, visited blocks along Pasir Ris Street 12 in the afternoon, where he spoke to residents at their gates and handed them party pamphlets and flags.
The party is contesting just this single constituency for GE2025, with a team comprising Mr Lim, secretary-general Abu Mohamed, communications lead Haminderpal Singh and
new face Chia Yun Kai.
Mr Chia was a surprise reveal during nomination proceedings yesterday. After the polls were called, the 32-year-old had introduced himself as part of a new party called Most Valuable Party.
Mr Lim told CNA that Mr Chia's age and willingness to speak up were the main reasons for the party taking him in. SDA members are on average aged over 40.
"It is good to have people at different ages," he said. "He will express what the younger generation is feeling."
Mr Chia also champions the same values as the SDA: sincerity, honesty, compassion, fairness and justice, said Mr Lim.
His party is going up against a People's Action Party's slate led by
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Indranee Rajah, Senior Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Desmond Tan, Mr Sharael Taha and new face Valerie Lee.
