Revamped Rant:
Hey there! Let's dive into the Singaporean political scene, shall we? The Progress Singapore Party (PSP), led by its charismatic chief, Leong Mun Wai, has some pretty sharp insights to share. At their recent rally, Leong dropped a bombshell: the fourth-generation People's Action Party (PAP) has strayed from the path, he claims.
Speaking from his experience of almost five years debating the ruling party in parliament, Leong shared his concerns over thedecline in governance standards, accountability, competence, and ethics in recent years. Yikes! That's some heavy criticism, folks!
Founder and party chairman, Tan Cheng Bock, Leong, and vice-chairperson, Hazel Poa, are part of PSP's line-up for the redrawn West Coast-Jurong West GRC this election. join them this time around are new faces Sani Ismail and Sumarleki Amjah.
In the 2020 election, the team came incredibly close to victories, with the PAP only just retaining West Coast GRC with 51.69% of the vote, and PSP securing two Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) seats for Leong and Poa.
Tan Cheng Bock, the party's founder, has also voiced concerns over the risk of "inbreeding" in PAP's candidate selection, due to many candidates coming from the civil service. This supposedly leads to groupthink and a lack of diversity in policy perspectives.
Moreover, the PSP is emphasizing the importance of a strong opposition in the parliament, as they believe it's crucial to prevent groupthink and ensure a diverse range of viewpoints are represented. They've also been vocal about pressing issues such as cost of living and job security, proposing alternative policy approaches to tackle these concerns.
So there you have it! The Progress Singapore Party is ready to shake things up and bring some fresh ideas to the table. Time will tell if their message resonates with the voters. Stay tuned, folks!
