to the Workers’ Party , Mr Lee said the overall result “reflects broad-based support for the PAP”.
“The results reflect the pain and uncertainty that Singaporeans feel in this crisis, the loss of income, the anxiety about jobs, the disruption caused by the circuit breaker and the safe distancing restrictions,” he said.
“Whether it works out … and whether it's seen as a strengthening of Singapore will depend not only on what the PAP does, but also on what the Opposition does because the Opposition now has 10 MPs elected from constituencies,” said Mr Lee. He hoped that new generations of Singaporeans “look critically, but with an open mind” at what previous generations have done, “examine what's relevant and what continues to make sense to them in a new environment" and “learn from these experiences hard won by their parents and grandparents".
He added that he had spoken to Mr Ng and his team to thank them and encourage them to continue serving the party and Singapore in different ways. The People's Action Party team contesting in Sengkang GRC led by Ng Chee Meng, arrive at St Anthony's Canossian School on Jun 30, 2020.
