MacPherson and Mountbatten are located next to Kembangan-Chai Chee, Joo Chiat, Marine Parade, Geylang Serai, and Braddell Heights, respectively, in the Marine Parade Town Council.
Nevertheless, a few people stated that they would have to evaluate the performance of other individuals in Marine Parade and their plans for the GRC.
After past Parliamentarian Speaker Tan Chuan-Jin resigned in July 2023, the current PAP team includes Manpower Minister Tan See Leng, Mr. Seah Kian Peng, Mr. Fahmi Aliman, and Mr. With his recent ward, Mr. Tong, who is MP for the Joo Chiat division, might relocate to East Coast GRC.
Ms. Wan Salwa, 62, who resides in MacPherson’s Circuit Road neighborhood, said she will wait to see who the last individuals are in terms of popularity.
We need to see who will take the place of the Members and grass, and who will be serving you, she said.
Some people, however, had the impression that the change might have been caused by political factors rather than simply demographic adjustments.
Mr. Ng, a 23-year-old scholar, claimed that despite being not quite politically involved, it is more difficult for the opposition to challenge in a GRC. He said,” Hopefully, that’s not the reason ( for the change ).”
The 66-year-old retiree Mr. Kua Kok Wah summed up his opinion in the Hokkien phrase” Bo bian ( no choice ).” Marine Parade must be saved, please.
When asked why Marine Parade GRC needs to be” saved,” he responded in Mandarin that Ms Tin’s vote share in MacPherson is high and will help to boost the GRC’s vote share.
