In the previous election, which saw the PAP largely win the district with 51.69 per share of the ballot, he was recently fielded as part of PSP’s West Coast GRC group.
Ms. Gan stated to supporters after receiving her election that she is “deeply touched” by the community’s support for her as MP in the 2020 election.
” Since therefore, I’ve made it my duty not just to talk, but to take action and to offer with like.” She cited improvements in the community as examples of how my staff and I have combined ideas with you.
” I know the neighborhood, I know the floor. Majulah PAP, Majulah Singapura, etc.
PSP applicant Jeffrey Khoo stated in a statement following confirmation of his candidacy that the nation needs to “put Singaporeans first in these difficult times” and have more choice voices in congress for better outcomes.
” I will walk with you and talk for you, not only talk to you.” Let me be your servant. One man, one choice, one vote, and that is how shift happens, he said.  ,
” The moment is right now. Voting for change, support progress for all, and support PSP.
With 55.04 percent of the vote, Ms. Gan defeated then-PSP member Ang Yong Guan to win the seat in the previous vote.  ,
