The ruling People’s Action Party ( PAP ) has also yet to reveal its lineups for some potential key battlegrounds with the WP, including East Coast and Punggol GRCs.
Asked about this common caution from both parties, Mr Singh said the WP was “very mindful” about the impulses it sends.
” It is very well known that we are a very tiny group, and so we have to be cautious how we employ our plan,” said Mr Singh.
” We don’t want to get to far ahead of ourselves as well, because ultimately, the goal is to really put forward a good stone of persons … for the citizens in these districts to look seriously at the ideas that these individuals bring forward.
“ I may say things will become clearer in the next few weeks and I look forward to a great struggle put up by our prospects. ”
WP’S “VALUE PROPOSITION”
WP leaders were also asked on Sunday about land improving and masterplans rolled out by the PAP in many constituencies, and how it would make its candidates to listen.
Party head Sylvia Lim pointed out that community governments in WP-held districts have also announced their five-year masterplans.
For areas it would be contesting and where it is certainly the former, Ms Lim said voters understand that the party ’s benefit statement lies very much in what it can take to parliament.
“They understand the need for there to be a political check on what the state is doing, ” she said. “They understand why it is not good for the land to have a parliament that is dominated by one group, and over time, we have seen that the citizens value this. ”
Ms Lim added that the group has built up “some experience ” in city government administration and would be able to communicate this knowledge with just elected Members of Parliament, if it manages to win new districts.
“If we are lucky enough to get new sections, we will find working from morning one. ”
That said, it would be “jumping the gun” to expect opposition prospects to come up with five-year masterplans for the districts they are contesting, as that would include understanding how government companies operate in approving programs and what kinds of money are attainable, among other problems, said Ms Lim.
“So, this is the lay of the land but it doesn’t stop us from contesting and fighting seriously in all the wars that we are contesting. ”
