In his party’s political broadcast ahead of the May 3 General Election, the opposition People’s Power Party ( PPP ) candidate Vere Nathan Shen Li on Friday ( Apr 25 ) urged Singaporeans to choose leaders “willing to face the tough issues head on.”
Mr. Nathan, 26, argued that Singaporeans should elect leaders who may “fight for the interests of the people over any selfish or short-term get” and who will “lead by case.”  ,
We as a country must ensure that we elect the leaders who will provide the light of truth into every branch of government in order to promote transparency, accountability, and competence.  ,
Without which, no amount of trust may be built, he said.  ,
The PPP  first introduced Mr. Nathan during a walkabout in mid-March, making him the businesses executive at a landscaping business. He then stated to reporters that he had just joined the party in recent months.  ,
In a four-cornered struggle for the Tampines GRC, he is a member of a PPP team that includes party chief Goh Meng Seng, president Derrick Sim, Mr. Peter Soh, and Ms. Arbaah Haroun.
Mr. Nathan stated in his four-minute talk that Singapore was at “another junction” as it approached its 60th anniversary and that the country was “old enough” to go through what he called a” first real change of safeguard.”  ,
