Singaporeans cannot be passive citizens and must be active participants in the country's democracy, said Workers' Party secretary-general Pritam Singh on Thursday (April 24) at his first rally in this General Election. The 48-year-old took the boisterous crowd at a field along Anchorvale Crescent on a trip down memory lane — by using the «fighters» of Hougang as an example to make his point. «They did not become fighters by choice,» said Singh about the constituency that has been held by Singapore's largest opposition party since 1991. «They had the iron in their spine to vote for the Workers' Party.» «They cast for a vote in favour for a more balanced political system when Parliament was practically all white. And then what happened? The PAP took away their wet market, their bus routes… put them last in the queue for lift upgrading. »The PAP even dangled upgrading carrots worth millions of dollars in front of them… But they have shown even more iron and continued to vote for the Workers' Party.

Addressing the crowd, which consisted of residents of Marymount and Kebun Baru SMCs as well as party supporters, Leong said: «I'd like to tell you what I've learned from my...almost five years in Parliament. »My time in Parliament has convinced me that the 4G PAP has really lost its way. The more I debate the Government...the more I realise that it is not the 'Grade A' government that we used to know."

The Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) took aim at how the government manages cost of living, especially with regards to the Goods and Services Tax (GST), in its first rally of the 2025 general election. Party chief Chee Soon Juan, chairman Paul Tambyah and other members spoke on stage at Choa Chu Kang Stadium on Thursday (April 24) evening. Dr Chee took issue with the practice of handing out cost-of-living vouchers while simultaneously raising the GST rate. He likened the situation to «an arsonist setting your house on fire and giving you a cup of water to put it out». He also questioned PM Lawrence Wong's attribution of the hike to «global trends». Dr Chee listed the essentials that he said have gone up in price, such as water, transport, petrol, electricity, Electronic Road Pricing charges and university hostel fees. He then compared the rising costs to how the People's Action Party government spends money, arguing that the ruling party is no longer as «prudent and frugal» as it once was.
