SINGAPORE - Jobs and businesses were the hot topics for East Coast GRC on Saturday night , as both parties contesting the five-member constituency made their pitch to voters through televised broadcasts.

"While the PAP is committed to create more job opportunities, traineeships and learning courses, there is no one size that fits all," said one-term Fengshan MP Cheryl Chan, whose single seat has been absorbed into East Coast GRC."I think we all need to have that resilient, adaptive mindset and to continue developing each of our own."

He called on the Government to reduce rentals for SMEs, consider employment allowances to encourage employers to keep on workers, and pay out cash grants to Singaporeans who have lost their jobs. In their Mandarin speeches, Mr Foo made three proposals to help seniors cope with the rising cost of living, while Mr Ng addressed voters' concerns over his team's ability to manage the town council, should they win.

The PAP team also highlighted infrastructure developments in the GRC, such as the upcoming Thomson-East Coast line and residential developments in Bayshore.
