Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC Jobs and municipal issues were at the forefront of the constituency political broadcasts last evening by both the People's Action Party and Singapore Democratic Party teams contesting in Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC.
He added that his team will help those whose jobs and incomes have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic to find new jobs and training places. Families of affected residents will also get additional help, he promised. If elected, she will also help divorced parents and unwed single parents."I will do more to help all of you - providing more pre-school and childcare spaces, promoting greater inter-generational bonding, and supporting all of you in your aspirations for your children," said Ms Soh.Business development strategist Benjamin Pwee, 53, said they have heard many complaints from residents, especially on maintenance of public housing facilities.
Education consultant Damanhuri Abas, 49, speaking in Malay, said that while the Malay community has made great strides in education and other areas in the past two decades, there is a lack of leadership. The career woman with elderly parents and three children believes she can also draw on her experience gained in the SAF - especially in leading and taking care of people - to serve Marymount residents well.
Drawing on his experience as a psychiatrist, the former army colonel added, he would be able to scrutinise existing and future policies that have direct psychological impact on people's lives. He has been out and about meeting and interacting with residents at community events and food centres and during house visits, and walking around the estate on his own as he believes engagement and outreach is a big part of an MP's role.
Having analysed the people's plight with his fellow party members, he said they have found that there are areas that need to be"seriously addressed". Mr Shanmugam, 61, who spoke in English and Tamil, called Yishun the"healthcare hub" of the north of Singapore, with two major hospitals, a large polyclinic - with another on the way - and the Wellness Kampungs, a network of wellness centres and adjacent eldercare facilities in the area.
He added that he plans to continue speaking up in Parliament about tackling inequality and climate change, among other issues. "Many Singaporeans have fallen through the cracks and are having great difficulties putting food on the table," he noted, suggesting that ComCare benefits be doubled from $500 to $1,000.
Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean, anchor minister for the PAP team, highlighted programmes both at the national and local levels to support Singaporean families, businesses and the self-employed. The other team members are three new faces - Mr Mohamed Sharael Taha, 39; Ms Yeo Wan Ling, 44; and Mr Desmond Tan Kok Ming, 50.
