SINGAPORE - Mr Liang Eng Hwa, the People's Action Party candidate standing in the single seat of Bukit Panjang, has promised to focus on manpower issues and help review Singapore's reliance on foreign labour if elected.
Mr Liang made these promises in his manifesto to the voters of Bukit Panjang and has suggested to them during his walkabouts that they keep the manifesto for the next five years so they can check if he makes good on his word. He said:"If he wants to make those claims, he better be answerable for them. I will not presume to tell him what to do and will leave it to him.
Mr Liang said there is much he wishes to do on behalf of his residents, which he has been meeting every day, as the coronavirus has led to greater concerns about cost of living."If we move our goods better and make sure our local supply chain is more efficient, there is potential to lower business costs. Right now, it's a bit inefficient because goods go around Singapore before they end up where they need to," said Mr Liang.
With the contest heating up in Bukit Panjang, both Mr Liang and Prof Tambyah have brought in additional support from other constituencies for extra firepower. On Tuesday, Progress Singapore Party chief Tan Cheng Bock accompanied Prof Tambyah in Bukit Panjang. Both have refuted Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's remarks at his Fullerton rally on Monday that the opposition did not have plans to deal with the coronavirus.
