Poll Planning IS A” Job IN PROGRESS”

Although Mr. Wong said preparation for the General Election are often a work in progress, he said there are no guarantees about when the election will be held.

The day after the previous poll,” the preparation work begins.” We must follow their instructions, take care of the requirements of the people, and work hard to win their hearts and minds,” he said.  

If all branches of the People’s Action Party ( PAP ) do that, then there is no need to anticipate or second guess when the elections would be called, he said. ” Because whenever the button is pressed, we will be ready for the battle. “

According to Mr. Wong, the remainder of this word of government has a complete agenda. That includes dealing with issues around the market, work and cost of living, as well as providing assurance to seniors, people and vulnerable parties.

” We will have to begin work, not only dealing with instant problems, but taking practical steps towards our shared dreams, anything that we had set out to do through the Forward Singapore practice,” he said.

The deputy prime minister thanked his staff members for choosing him to lead the team and for believing in him.

Mr Wong was named president of PAP’s fourth-generation group in April 2022. In June of that year, he took on the role of Deputy Prime Minister.

One giant stands out among the others, and that’s Mr. Lee Hsien Loong, in specific. He has done so much for Singapore, especially in the past 20 years of leading our state,” he said.

Under Mr. Lee’s authority, Singapore has withstanded many problems and seen improvements in the standard of living, according to Mr. Wong.

He added:” On behalf of all Singaporeans, I thank Mr Lee Hsien Loong for his noble service to our state and lasting efforts to Singapore. “
