Before a walkabout at their next stop, Boon Lay Food Village, Mr. Lee addressed the media and said it was “very humbling” that residents had had such a large support before five years. &nbsp,

In what was the most competitive elections of the year, albeit in the now-defunct West Coast GRC, the PSP in 2020 came within a few percent factors of success. &nbsp,

With 51.68 % of the vote, the PAP retained West Coast GRC in 2020, while the PSP won two Non-Constituency MP (NCMP ) seats as the losing team with the best-performing record.

My coworkers and I have worked for them in legislature, spoken to them about issues that subject, and responded to questions that inhabitants are concerned about. Through Meet-The-People Classes, household visits, and numerous initiatives we’ve done to proceed to interact with residents, Mr. Lee said. &nbsp,

There is a strong sense of responsibility to continue helping the locals who gave us their help yesterday.

Mr. Lee explained how it has collaborated with the Employment and Employability Institute (e2i ) of the&nbsp, National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and other organizations to better support both middle-aged and older workers in the west of Singapore, as well as the team’s efforts to help people with problems like the cost of living and job security. &nbsp,

We are seeing more people living here worry about job security, but we strengthen our work, working with e2i, finding work, and other similar organizations, to better support the various groups of Singaporeans who reside in West Coast and Jurong West, he said. &nbsp,

There are also numerous estates in the district that will be undergoing enhancement and improvement projects with the help of citizens ‘ suggestions to make sure the amenities are “meaningful to them,” he continued. &nbsp,

When asked how the team will celebrate their victory before the start of the new week, Mr. Lee responded,” I wouldn’t say observe because it’s letting it soak into us the magnitude of this duty and the incredible believe that inhabitants have given to us.”

Vernetta Lopez, Emmanuel Bungaro, and Glenn Ong, participants Vernetta Lopez, Emmanuel Bungaro, and Vincenzo Olivio, first introduced the group in 1995 through a song show on Mediacorp’s Channel Five. &nbsp,

” They continued to play the Morning Glory broadcast business,” the spokesperson said. on movement, which is Oasis ‘ following song, and that’s when I first heard it,” she said. &nbsp,

” I saw Liam and said, Who is that wonderful person singing?” “,” Oliveiro chuckled as he laughed. The song took over, and then it went beyond that.

When she met and even had a conversation with the Gallagher boys when she traveled to Australia for their musical three years later, in 1998, chance was on her part. &nbsp,

Noel and I met each other after we flew to Perth and reserved a room in Fremantle. They were singing Oasis music upstairs, so I could hear a lot of cheering, she explained. &nbsp,

” So I went upstairs, and I looked round, and he was there, walking up and down the street, and I was the only one who was bothering him,” she said. ” Noel, what are you doing these?,” I said to him as I came up to him. He continued,” I’m just walking up and down to know this place.” I then took a photo with him and asked him to mark the cassettes and tour schedule.

Oliveiro said,” And then I’ll never forget this  he said, hey, couldn’t drink so many,” adding that that confused her. &nbsp,

A man who at the moment drank so much and was constantly drinking beer said, “hey, don’t ingest so much,” she quipped. &nbsp,

WP” Brand” ADDED TO STRONG SHOWING

Eugene Tan, a political scientist and former elected MP, identified three factors that contributed to WP’s fairly robust performance at Tampines GRC:” The party brand, a fairly strong slate, and a controversy stirred voters.”

Given the racial makeup of the electorate it, as well as the encounter between Mr. Masagos and Mr. Faisal, who had formerly clashed in congress over Malay-Muslim community issues, the interact professor of law at Singapore Management University said that Tampines GRC was a “battleground district.”

Mr. Wong, who is also the group’s secretary-general, acknowledged the phenomenon of “negative politicians” in terms of calls to cast ballots along racial or religious lines during the fighting period at PAP’s press conference following the election results ‘ announcement.

Because this was such a crucial issue, I had to visit it out in the middle of the plan.

After that, the situation did increase, but there were still website views and comments, some of which were very crude. He said they would continue to travel, though less frequently than before the press event I attended. &nbsp,

When asked about the support the Malay-Muslim community gave PAP in light of this situation, Mr. Wong responded,” At this point, we haven’t done heavy analyses or in-depth analysis on which organizations, which sections, voted for us, and what were the factors.

Did it affect the outcome of the election? Possibly some, some. How little? I’m not sure, because we’ll need to conduct a more in-depth examination after today.

Mr. Masagos, who spoke in Malay, stated at the press conference that he would adopt a different strategy going ahead and reach out to the Malay-Muslim group to better understand their problems and assure that the problems they raise may be addressed.

However, I also urge the community to join and create their communities together after the General Election because so much is possible to accomplish together.

Assoc Prof Tan from SMU told CNA that the effectiveness of other opposition parties in Tampines GRC demonstrates how voters are selective and won’t cut their votes if they want to support the opposition.

With both PPP and NSP losing their reserves, he added, “it also indicates that some opposition parties are becoming less and less relevant in the social environment.”

Independent social observer Felix Tan, who will be giving one of WP’s Tampines GRC staff members the seat, made the comment that Mr. Thng would probably win it, citing his ability to convey his group’s guidelines to the market during a televised roundtable discussion.

” But of course, the policies come from the party itself, not just from him,” Dr. Felix Tan said in a special program airing on CNA for the election day.” I think he’s able to consolidate and collate the ideas more coherently and… able to present them to the voters, as well,” he said.

And I believe he would do just fine as an NCMP in parliament.

Former Chief of Army David Neo was previously identified by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong as a candidate with the potential to hold political office at PAP’s Tampines GRC team.

Dr. Mustafa Izzuddin, a senior international affairs analyst with policy and business consultancy&nbsp, Solaris Strategies Singapore, was asked on the CNA program whether this would have mattered to the voters. He said that the candidate’s own performance on the ground determines the outcome of the vote.

A” GOOD” SHOWING FOR WP OR A “SLO W PROGRESS”?

Social observers CNA spoke to were divided on whether there were any positive lessons to be learned from Singapore’s primary criticism party’s election efficiency.

Associate Professor Chong noted that the WP had resisted the general pattern of a federal jump toward the PAP and opposition parties by retaining and increasing its voting share in the districts it was defending.

They would have liked to do better, he said,” It’s in some ways a good election, I’m sure.” They “have momentum going into the next legislative session and the following poll.”

Dr. Teo noted that the Singapore Democratic Party, whose general Chee Quickly Juan managed 46.81 percent of the vote in Sembawang SMC, had won over 40 percent of the votes in all of the new constituencies it contested.

She said,” It does demonstrate that the WP has significantly expanded its product among voters.”

But, Mr. Singh, a former PAP MP, claimed that the WP” should be seen as making to slow a improvement.” &nbsp,

” I’m confident that winning another GRC will offer them more credibility than simply getting a few more votes overall,” he said.

He claimed that when they should have focused on one” sure-win” GRC and SMC, the WP had spread its stronger individuals too lightly across their districts.

With DPM Gan’s shift to Punggol,” PAP even outsmarted WP,” Mr. Singh said, referring to Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong’s last-minute change from Chua Chu Kang GRC to Punggol GRC, where senior lawyers Harpreet Singh was assigned. &nbsp,

In a constituency some had anticipated would be tightly contested, the PAP team won with 55.17 percent of the ballot to the WP’s 44.83 percent.

Chong Ja Ian, an associate professor of social science at NUS, told CNA that there were numerous factors that could have affected the PAP group’s success. &nbsp,

The addition of Mr. Gan and the fact that the WP are fairly new to the area, making them less well-known, were two examples.

Given the national temperament, he said,” There’s a lot going for the PAP, and that combination made the difference.”

In a three-cornered contest pitting the Singapore Democratic Alliance and Peoples Voice parties in 2020, a PAP team made up of Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean, Dr. Puthucheary, Mr. Sharael Taha, Mr. Desmond Tan, and Ms. Yeo won 64.16 % of the vote.

In the previous General Election, Ms. Sun received 60.98 % of the votes in favor of Punggol West SMC, beating Tan Chen Chen of the WP.

Assoc Prof. Chong claimed that despite being surprised by the WP player’s performance this year, they had withstanded” the national swing against criticism functions and swing for the PAP.”

What it means is that WP is gaining speed and is no longer seen as just another opposition group, according to Assoc Prof. Chong. ” WP is standing head and shoulders above the other criticism parties.”
