UPCOMING GENERAL Poll
This year also marks a century since the formation of the Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC in 2015, noted Mr Wong. Mr Yam, Mr Zaqy and himself remain from the original group, while Ms Soh joined the hospital in 2020.
” Over the last 10 times, we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know some people around. We’ve watched your kids grow up, from little child and primary school kids receiving Edusave Honors, to then many of them in school or even working”, said Mr Wong.
” We’ve yet seen, for some of the older people, your children being born and becoming part of our Marsiling-Yew Tee home. We’re all glad of how this area has become a home for every citizen, young and old”.
In the last general election in 2020, the PAP team retained the GRC with 63.18 per cent of the votes against a Singapore Democratic Party ( SDP ) line-up. The SDP has once declared its intention to challenge the clinic in this year’s competition.
Speaking to the media after the event, Mr Yam said the PAP group welcomes the SDP problem as it is “healthy for our democracy”.
” The SDP has been in Marsiling-Yew Tee for the last two common elections. So them staying, I don’t believe it’s a big surprise”, said Mr Yam.
” We look forward to hearing them declare who their team members are, because they’ve undergone quite a number of changes over the years as well”.
