After Nomination Day proceedings ended on Wednesday ( Apr 23 ), it is common for potential candidates for the People’s Action Party ( PAP ) to “quietly” visit and observe the work done in various constituencies “without an entourage.”
During a press conference officially introducing the constituency’s stone alongside prospects for Queenstown and Radin Mas SMCs, the outlet minister for Tanjong Pagar GRC was responding to questions about the ostensibly unexpected walk earlier in the day when gathering fresh experience Foo Cexiang was revealed to be contesting Tanjong Pagar GRC.
In the previous few weeks, Mr. Foo had been essentially spotted attending events in the former Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, and he was expected to be fielded in the local districts.  ,
Prospective candidates go to several locations “because we want to expose them to residents from diverse backgrounds,” according to Mr. Chan, adding that this is “better for their deployment.”  ,
As potential individuals pick up their experiences, it also provides us with information on the demographics they can relate to the most.
They also gain knowledge about the various ways that each electorate operates.  ,
The PAP field applicants “across the whole island, unlike other parties,” according to Mr. Chan, once they have this exposure, there will be “different factors” influencing their implementation.  ,
” We have to make sure that the candidates ‘ portfolios across the various pieces of Singapore can best serve the people and address their needs in various parts of Singapore.”
In this way, the party considers how a potential team can complement one another in addition to a possible candidate’s unique strengths. They will be taken into account for their unique background, experience, and viewpoints, he added.
