Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has promised that he and his team would focus on what matters the most, such as solving problems, improving lives and taking Singapore forward. In the final People's Action Party's (PAP) rally at Yusof Ishak Secondary School on Thursday (May 1) for Punggol GRC, PM Wong, who is also the secretary-general of the party, asked Singaporeans if they want «more politics» or «real solutions». «Do we want a country where everything is turned into a fight, divided by anger, or do we want a country where we can find common ground, lift each other up and move forward as one? »I say, let's choose unity over division. Let's choose integrity over half truths. Let's choose action over posturing. Let's choose Singapore and build our future together.«  He advised Singaporeans to »calm down« and consider their options. »If you truly believe that the PAP is still the best party for Singapore in these uncertain times, then stand with us,« he said. »Support me and my team. Vote for the PAP."

The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) disagreed with the notion that losing some cabinet ministers would weaken the government, stating that voters need not worry for the People's Action Party (PAP) and should «worry about ordinary Singaporeans instead». At the party's final rally this general election on Thursday (May 1), PSP vice-chair Hazel Poa said: «PAP also says that if you vote for opposition, they could lose ministers. »But look at Minister Ong Ye Kung. He lost in GE2011 in Aljunied GRC, but he was brought back in the next election through a different GRC. «So do not worry for PAP. Let’s worry about ordinary Singaporeans instead,» she added. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Ong were some of the PAP candidates who made similar statements during the election period. These came as the focus was sharpened on the battleground ward of Punggol, where PAP had deployed Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong to fend off Workers' Party's advances. PSP secretary-general Leong Mun Wai also chimed in on the topic during the rally held at Jurong West Stadium.

In his nearly 30-minute speech to a packed crowd in Hougang on Thursday (May 1), Workers' Party secretary-general Pritam Singh made several counterpoints to what the People's Action Party (PAP) had said throughout the nine days of campaigning this General Election. Notably among them was Pritam's rebuttal to PAP's warning that losing ministers would weaken Singapore, reiterating his earlier remarks that Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong, who made a surprise move from Chua Chu Kang GRC to contest Punggol GRC this GE, was not «indispensable». «If Gan is not re-elected, Singaporeans need not feel guilty — after all, you did not put him at risk, the PAP did,» said the party chief, adding that DPM Gan and other ministers can continue serving Singapore even if they lose in an election. Further refuting PM Wong's caution that a weakened mandate would make it harder for the PAP to represent Singaporean's interests internationally, Pritam also said that the PAP will still have a «very big» majority in Parliament even if all 26 WP candidates were elected.
