At the upcoming polls, the People’s Action Party ( PAP ) team led by Minister for Digital Development and Information, Josephine Teo, will face off against the People’s Alliance for Reform ( PAR ) in Jalan Besar GRC.
The four-member stone, which included Mrs Teo, 56, Ms Denise Phua, 66, Dr Wan Rizal, 46, and Mr. Shawn Loh, 38, a former top civil servant and a newcomer to politics, was unaffected by the ruling party’s candidate entry before in April.
Mr. Chiu Shin Kong, a 51-year-old personal tutor and a stranger to politics, is on the opposition list. Mohamad Hamim Aliyas, 62, and Sarina Abu Hassan, 53, are among his four members, along with Ms. Vigneswari V. Ramachandran, a 42-year-old school tutor.
On the day of the nomination, Mrs. Teo’s team made an early arrival at the Kong Hwa School’s nomination center on Wednesday ( April 23 ) at around 10am.
Mrs. Teo, who has been Jalan Besar GRC’s outlet minister since the last election, addressed a enthralling throng after her group’s stone was announced, saying:” The PAP staff have served you and worked hard all these years.
We appreciate your interest and assistance. We now have a solid track record, and we have presented our plans to make our village your best house. You may trust us to be trustworthy and diligent, said Mrs. Teo.
Heng Chee How, the MP for the Whampoa department since 2001, takes Mr. Loh’s place as Senior Minister of State for Defense.
Thank you inhabitants of Jalan Besar, Ms. Sarina from PAR said in a statement to the crowd following the PAP staff. The Line has been speaking with you, but now we want to work with you, walk with you, and offer you in Jalan Besar GRC.
When asked what her group’s opinion of the PAP Jalan Besar lineup was on the side of the press, Ms. Vigneswari responded,” We dare to stand out and bring up some issues that some other parties don’t want to raise, such as immigration and job security for Singaporeans.”
She continued,” We want policy changes and that is to benefit the residents of Singapore, and our crew respects that.”
A potential three-cornered fight was already being considered by both the People’s Alliance for Reform and the National Solidarity Party ( NSP) earlier this year.
However, the NSP eventually made a decision to leave, “in keeping with our long-standing dedication to responsible commitment and significant opposition assistance.”  ,
The Peoples Voice ( PV), the Reform Party ( RP ), and the Democratic Progressive Party ( DPP ) are all a three-party alliance known as the PAR.
The PAP squad won 65.36 % of the vote in the previous General Election in 2020, beating a PV group. Mr. Lim Tean, Mr. Leong Sze Hian, Mr. Nor Azlan Sulaiman, and Dr. Michael Fang made up the PV granite.
In the most recent political limit review, there are 106, 102 voters in the GRC.
