Mr. Lee did not address issues about the rising cost of public housing, contract degradation, and the lack of elevate upgrades for some of the housing issues that were raised, according to Mr. Lee.

In a later declaration, Mr. Lee claimed that the opposition party leader was making “little respect for facts” while urging the public to take the facts into account on both sides. He added that he had addressed cover issues in the nation on “multiple occasions” throughout the canvassing period.

Prior to the elections, the chancellor added, the concerns were also debated in parliament.

Mr. Lee claimed that the minister did not provide any fresh information during the times when he claimed to own responded, and that the problems were also not resolved in political debate.

WHAT DOES PSP’S VOTE SWING Mean?

Political experts told CNA that limit changes played a role in the PAP’s margin of victory.

Inderjit Singh, a political analyst and former PAP MP, said:” I think this can be seen as an expected shift given the votes coming from Jurong, the former stronghold of ( Mr. ) Tharman.”

Chong Ja Ian, a professor of political science at the National University of Singapore, also noted the PAP’s wider, regional swing and how the PSP appeared to have been less active in the GRC.

Assoc Prof. Chong continued, adding that Mr. Leong and Ms. Poa’s accents as NCMPs were a “plus,” but not enough.

” You need to serve your district and have a voice in parliament to succeed in Singapore,” he said.

According to the experts, Dr. Tan’s waning individual attractiveness may have contributed to the outcomes.

Mr. Singh claimed that Dr. Tan was “primarily” responsible for PSP’s strong achievement in 2020, but his reputation has since declined.
