SINGAPORE – Fiery speeches and calls for change galvanised crowds at election rallies during the hustings, with opposition parties and their supporters eager for a breakthrough in the 2025 General Election.

SINGAPORE - The PAP team in Holland-Bukit Timah defended their seats with 79.29 per cent of the votes against new challenger Red Dot United (RDU). This is up from 66.36 per cent in the 2020 election, when the same team led by Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, 64, contended with a slate from the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP). It is also historically the best performance for the four-member group representation constituency, apart from a walkover in 2006 when the GRC was first created.

SINGAPORE - Distributing vouchers to help Singaporeans cope with the rising cost of living is not enough to tackle such concerns, said the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) on April 24. Instead, a greater opposition presence in Parliament could help to keep rising costs in check, with MPs scrutinising Government expenditure and speaking out against policies that could impact people’s pockets. This was a key message from the party’s first rally at Choa Chu Kang stadium.
