GE2025: PAP manifesto 'loaded with motherhood statements', Pritam Singh says at WP rally
The People's Action Party's (PAP) manifesto for this year's General Election is «loaded with motherhood statements», Workers' Party (WP) secretary-general Pritam Singh argued at his party's rally on Saturday (April 26).
Singh attended the event alongside party chair Sylvia Lim, as well as Tampines GRC candidates Faisal Manap, Jimmy Tan, Eileen Chong, Dr Ong Lue Ping and Michael Thng at Temasek Junior College.
Also present were Tampines Changkat SMC candidate Kenneth Foo and Gerald Giam, Fadli Fawzi, Kenneth Tiong, Jasper Kuan, Paris V Parameswari, Yee Jenn Jong, Sufyan Mikhail Putra and Nathaniel Koh.
Singh prefaced his statement by pointing out that many voters have made comparisons between the two parties' manifestos.
However, «the result is clear,» said Singh. «The PAP manifesto is short on substance and specifics.»
He said the Singapore population has increased from under two million in 1965 to over six million today, that «Singapore is a far more complex society, and it will always need fresh thinking».
