SINGAPORE: As Singapore’s next election looms, some Singaporeans have expressed excitement over older folks wanting to support the opposition, given the perception that these voters typically align with the ruling party., when people were asked about their preferences for the upcoming General Election, a number of them expressed dissatisfaction with the ruling People’s Action Party.
One woman in the video said she had only seen her PAP MP once during the campaign period for the last GE and then never again, adding that she hopes that the opposition Progress Singapore Party will win “so they can represent us” as there is “not enough opposition party.”An older man, meanwhile, said that now the PAP is “not very good.” He was unhappy that Singapore is now more crowded and more expensive and added that during founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew’s time, prices only went up once.
The caption to the Lianhe Zaobao video says that it was taken at West Coast and East Coast GRCs, which are expected to be hotly contested in the next election. “With elevated inflation, albeit steady, public housing prices running amok, wholesale immigration, hopefully, we get to see upsets in some constituencies. Would be beautiful to see popular votes dipping under 60%, oppos picking up east and west coast GRCs,” wrote one, adding that opposition parties should concentrate on getting the votes from senior citizens.
