GE2025: Government did not weaken after losing GRCs, says PSP’s Leong Mun Wai

Despite losing Group Representation Constituencies ( GRCs ) and Cabinet ministers in previous elections, the government has not shown any signs of weakening, according to Progress Singapore Party ( PSP) secretary-general Leong Mun Wai on Thursday ( May 1 ), according to Singapore. &nbsp,

In 2022, had a weak authorities be able to move through or renovate the GST? He inquired about the increase in the Goods and Services Tax, which was announced in the Budget 2022 increase to 9 %.

Mr. Leong was speaking during the PSP team’s contest against West Coast-Jurong West GRC on the last day of fighting before Polling Day during an a&nbsp, walkabout at Boon Lay Place Market. &nbsp,

Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said at a rally on Wednesday that a further GRC loss for the People’s Action Party ( PAP ) could destabilize Singapore and cause the country to” crashing.” His comments were in response.

Mr. Leong said,” PAP has lost officials and GRCs before. He called his notes “out of this planet.” Has the government been weakened by that in recent times or in the last ten years?

Only a solid state with the authority to veto the Constitution can stifle the GST through the legislature, he continued. &nbsp,

The minister’s claim that losing some GRC officials would undermine the government is not entirely correct. ” &nbsp,

ONG YE KUNG BACK PAP BOUGHT

Hazel Poa, a fellow PSP member and original Non-Constituency MP, responded to Mr. Ong’s remarks by pointing out that he lost the 2011 vote at Aljunied GRC as a member of a PAP team led by then-French Minister George Yeo.

What transpired after that, though? She claimed that he was returned in a different GRC for the following vote.

In 2015, Mr. Ong was elected and afterward appointed Health Minister in Sembawang GRC.
