GE2020: In Aljunied GRC broadcast, WP highlights role as check and balance, PAP lays out help schemes

SINGAPORE: The Workers’ Party and the People’s Action Party delivered their constituency political broadcasts for the Aljunied Group Representation Constituency on Friday , in the first of a series this General Election.

“If you vote for a PAP team into Aljunied GRC, your new MPs will have to support the agenda of their party, and they may even need to watch what they say in order not to fall out of favour with their party leadership,” he said. Pritam Singh, Sylvia Lim, Leon Perera, Muhd Faisal and Gerald Giam from the Workers' Party contesting Aljunied GRC speak during the Constituency Political Broadcast on Jul 3, 2020.

AHTC’s financial statements were also given a clean and unqualified opinion last year, while the Ministry of National Development graded AHTC’s corporate governance with a “green” banding, Mr Singh added. He said he has been covering the duties of former Aljunied GRC MP Low Thia Khiang for the past few months. “This has allowed me to walk the ground, familiarise myself with the constituency, and get to know many residents, in ways I could not as an NCMP,” he added.

“But by voting for the Workers’ Party you will get constructive, responsible MPs who work hard in Parliament, while on the ground you’ll benefit from our experience in running the town council as well as the support of the , with the losing PAP candidate as grassroots advisor. “Aljunied is yours, not somebody’s political hostage. It should be about your lives, your jobs and our future,” said Mr Lye, as he repeated the team’s rallying call of: “It’s time. Bring us home.”

Mr Lye said his team will start a pocket money fund for disadvantaged children in Aljunied, as well as set up Jobs and Livelihoods Centres across the constituency. “We can harness the power of negotiation as a GRC to get the best prices for our essential goods and services. So we can get the best tutors for the best price so you pay less.”

Mr Chua, who was also part of the PAP’s 2015 team in Aljunied, said the upgrading of neighbourhoods and parks will be completed in the next five years.
