Singapore GE2020: Inclusivity and employment in focus on Day 3 of constituency broadcasts

JALAN BESAR GRC Jalan Besar GRC is home to Singapore's oldest areas, but is also an area with great potential for renewal and rejuvenation that they hope to be able to see through if elected, members of the People's Action Party team defending Jalan Besar GRC said last night.

Senior Minister of State Heng Chee How, 58, added that young families are also able to move into the new Build-To-Order Housing Board flats in the area. Meanwhile the Peoples Voice team, led by party chief Lim Tean, focused on immigration policies and the Covid-19 crisis. Mr Lim also criticised Mrs Teo, saying she was"singularly responsible for the great explosion of Covid-19 cases in foreign worker dormitories". He called on Jalan Besar residents to treat this election as a referendum on the minister's competence and leadership.

If elected, his team will continue to be on the ground as they have been for the past several years, added Mr Tharman, 63, who helms the PAP team and who led his slate in 2015 to win 79.3 per cent of the votes in Jurong GRC, the highest vote share nationwide. Mr Huang touched on how Jurong residents can count on initiatives to lift them up from difficult circumstances, while Mr Xie spoke about the team's commitment to helping the unemployed find jobs.

Ms Lee said Mr Tharman is just"one voice in the unchangeable machinery of the PAP" and that he would need to follow the"party line". RDU's Mr Alec Tok, 55, spoke in Mandarin about the party's plans and Ms Liyana Dhamirah, 33, a new face that RDU is fielding, spoke in Malay about how Singaporeans need leaders who prioritise them.

His challenger, Mr Kumaran Pillai, 49, from the Progress Singapore Party, said that local issues are at the top of his agenda, including the need to upgrade infrastructure for the elderly population, and mosquito breeding in the landed estates due to the choked drainage system. MACPHERSON SMC Both candidates gunning for the single seat raised the issue of employment as an area they are seeking to help residents in.

GE2020: PAP candidate for MacPherson SMC speaks in Constituency Political Broadcast, Jul 5 Ms Tin was first elected as part of the Marine Parade GRC team in 2011, and when her ward was hived off as a single seat in 2015, she won a three-cornered fight for MacPherson with 65.6 per cent of the votes.
