Singapore GE2020: wpsg and PAPSingapore East Coast teams meet at walkabout in Bedok singaporevotes

SINGAPORE - There is a need to reach out to less tech-savvy elderly residents amid the e-rallies and other election events taking place online due to the Covid-19 pandemic, said Workers' Party East Coast GRC candidate Dylan Ng.

Said Mr Ng:"In terms of reaching out to the elderly, we really have to do our groundwork. There's no short cut, or an easy way out. The other two members - Mr Terence Tan, 49, and Mr Abdul Shariff Aboo Kassim, 54 - did not appear to be present at the walkabout. Mr Heng has left his Tampines stronghold to beef up the East Coast GRC team, replacing the retiring Mr Lim Swee Say as the constituency's anchor minister. His move is seen as a tactical move aimed at ensuring that PAP strengthens its support in the GRC, which is being contested by the WP for the fourth time.

Elaborating on her comments, Mr Foo said on Friday:" are in a dilemma because they are caught between electing us and electing the future Prime Minister... They are concerned about the future and the democracy of Singapore. The system that we have - is it a balanced system? We would like voters to think about it and make a decision."

"It's really a very difficult position for swing voters, especially if they have seen the value that WP has added, even with NCMP status in Parliament."
