GE2020: In Holland-Bukit Timah broadcast, PAP highlights jobs and SMEs, SDP focuses on handling of COVID-19, encouraging innovation

SINGAPORE: The People’s Action Party and the Singapore Democratic Party delivered their constituency political broadcast for the Holland-Bukit Timah GRC on Saturday .

“This is a manifestation of our commitment to leave no Singaporean behind. But I am confident. I am optimistic that we will emerge from this crisis stronger, more resilient, more united than ever before.” In particular, he cited the story of a hawker who gave up his landscape architecture job to set up a seafood soup stall. Since then, the business has expanded, he said.“We understand that our people are our biggest asset and we must care for them. To my fellow SME business owners, I would like to tell you that I understand how difficult this is and I can truly empathise,” he said.“COVID-19 has also caused major job insecurities.

He added: “At the forefront of our minds has been jobs. Redoubling our efforts for job-matching for our residents across the estates, retention of jobs, job opportunities and matching of jobs”.Christopher De Souza of the People's Action Party team contesting Holland-Bukit Timah GRC speaking at the constituency political broadcast on Jul 4, 2020.

Reflecting on the past few months, Ms Sim said it has not only been about loss and sacrifice, but also hope and rediscovery. “There were more who did the same, and I am touched beyond words by our residents’ generosity. To build back better, you will need a team that knows the ground, and knows how to work with you.”“I want to focus on supporting jobseekers in the community because getting a job, or getting back into a job is the most sustainable way forward.”In conclusion, Dr Balakrishnan said: “That extra ingredient is trust.

“They politicised the management of COVID-19 task force by appointing themselves, not medical experts, and promoted themselves in front of the media,” he alleged.“Now they have called for an election to legitimise their own mis-steps. By calling for an election during this time, they have made campaigning difficult,” he said.

“Thus far the PAP has only been giving excuses, saying they did not have hindsight. And making U-turns just during this election period. Their track record is poor. Yet, they are asking you to trust them,” he said.
