The “Refresh PAP” exercise, which took place over the past six months, culminated in Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s promise at“The preparation to win the hearts and minds of Singaporeans, to persuade them of the many things that we need to do under Forward Singapore, persuading them about the trade-offs that we need to address in order to put Singapore in a sustainable, forward-looking posture, are things that are done the very day after the last GE,” he told reporters at the Marina Bay Sands...
Externally, the party is also looking to better meet the concerns of Singaporeans, and a major move to this end is the formation of two new groups within the party focused on mental health and climate action. Senior Minister of State for Communications and Information and for Health Janil Puthucheary, who will chair the Mental Health Group said the group is looking to bring together all those in different domains, whether it is the health, social, or community space, and to consult widely with those with expertise so that “what we push for is informed by good science”.
