Chee Hong Tat hopes to follow in Dr Ng Eng Hen's footsteps in Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC, where he wants to serve residents until he retires. The Minister for Transport and incumbent MP for the GRC was speaking at the People's Action Party's (PAP) rally for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC on Wednesday (April 30). Chee began his speech at Bishan Stadium by thanking Dr Ng, who served as MP in the Toa Payoh Central division from 2001 to 2025. Dr Ng had also recently announced his retirement from politics. «I am very grateful to Dr Ng for his mentorship since I joined politics 10 years ago in 2015,» Chee said, adding that he was honoured to take over as the anchor minister for the GRC.

Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan has upped the ante following Health Minister Ong Ye Kung's criticism of the party's policies, suggesting it is the People's Action Party's (PAP) «favourite playbook». «Four words —criticise first, copy later,» said Dr Chee at a rally in Sembawang on Wednesday (April 30). «During elections, the PAP will slam the opposition for its alternative proposals, for our ideas. »But after elections, it will adopt our ideas, but it won't give any credit.« Dr Chee, who is standing in the new Sembawang West SMC, cited several examples to prove his point. The first was SDP's proposal on an unemployment insurance scheme which provide retrenched workers with financial assistance and support for re-employment. »But in the 2016 Bukit Batok by-election, Mr Tharman, who was Deputy Prime Minister, accused the SDP of pushing for populist policies whose idea would be costly,« said Dr Chee. »Eight years later, Mr Lawrence Wong announced the PAP would implement such a scheme and called it SkillsFuture Jobseeker Support scheme. Same thing, different name, that's all."
