Workers' Party (WP) candidate for Punggol GRC Alexis Dang, who has been the subject of online comments focusing on her appearance, responded to a question on the issue. Speaking alongside her team at a walkabout in Punggol Central on Thursday (May 1), the 39-year-old said the candidates welcomed scrutiny and public attention as a group, because voters should understand who they are and what they stand for.
WP candidate Harpreet Singh also issued a stern warning for "the men out there", saying: "Those types of comments are unacceptable, and they must stop. We must respect women. They're absolutely, absolutely bright. We must, first and foremost see them as individuals." Get the latest #GE2025 updates: https://cna.asia/ge2025
they forgot to mention that they do not bully others in parliament.WP rally: ‘We do not fight, shout or name-call in Parliament,’ says Gerald Giam
In his speech, Mr Gerald Giam, incumbent MP for Aljunied GRC, addressed three fallacies he said voters may have heard during the election period: The first, that having a stronger opposition would weaken the Government. The second, that more opposition representation would mean more fighting in Parliament. And the third, that the opposition is "only talk".
On the first, he noted that the WP is contesting just 26 seats, and even if they won them all, PAP would still have a supermajority.
On the second, he said that the WP debates responsibly in parliament.
"We do not fight, shout or name-call in Parliament, we debate with facts and logic. Yes, debates may last longer, but that's how ministers are held accountable and how policies are improved," he said, adding that even with a stronger WP presence, PAP will be able to pass any law or constitutional amendment.
"What a stronger Workers Party gives you is better scrutiny and a more responsive government."
On the third point, Mr Giam said that WP MPs have punched above their weight in the last five years, with more than 2,300 parliamentary questions asked, 45 bills and motions debated, and clarifications sought on 34 ministerial statements.
“This is what you get when you elect a serious, responsible opposition. Now we are ready to do more.”
