Progress Singapore Party (PSP) founder Tan Cheng Bock has called for calm after a boisterous cheering contest broke out between PSP and People's Action Party (PAP) supporters who crossed paths during a walkabout at Block 964 Jurong West Street 91 on Wednesday (April 30) morning. Supporters from both parties were heard chanting while pumping their fists in the air, trying to outdo each other as they rallied behind their respective candidates at a hawker centre. The PSP team, led by party chief Leong Mun Wai, began chanting «PSP» as the rival PAP team, headed by incumbent PAP MP Ang Wei Neng, passed by. In response, some PAP team members enthusiastically chanted their own party's name. Urging restraint after the encounter, Dr Tan said: «I think we should avoid all that. Honestly, we have gone beyond that. We should up ourselves [and] not be so rowdy.»

Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong hopes to draw on his two decades of experience in politics to improve the lives of Punggol residents — for as long as he can. The 66-year-old, who is contesting in his sixth general election, said while the decision on whether he stays beyond one term — if elected — lies with the Prime Minister, he wants to continue «building» Punggol in any capacity. «Even if I am asked to step down, I will continue working with residents, serving the community in whichever way I can,» Gan told AsiaOne on Tuesday (April 29) after a walkabout at One Punggol.  And if it were up to him? The People's Action Party (PAP) veteran said he would “continue for as long as [he] can.” Gan previously served as MP for Chua Chu Kang GRC for 14 years, holding key portfolios such as Manpower and Health, and now Minister for Trade and Industry. «This is not a job, a vocation. It's a sense of mission… to serve people. That will continue to drive me on.»
