SINGAPORE – The PAP’s manifesto for the upcoming polls on July 10 will be launched by its secretary-general, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, on Saturday (June 27).
The ruling party will also progressively introduce its line-up of candidates for the GRCs and SMCs in the next few days, said PAP second assistant secretary-general Chan Chun Sing on Friday (June 26).
He made the announcement at a virtual press conference to introduce the last eight of 27 new faces who will contest the election.
Unveiled over three days, the newcomers are a varied lot: 15 are from the private sector, including such fields as law, banking and business, while the remaining dozen are from the public service, the social and non-profit sector, and the military.
Asked if any of the new faces are of ministerial calibre, Mr Chan said it is “premature to do any such comparisons”.
“Even for the 2011 and 2015 batches, I think it is premature for us to try to claim credit or success,” he added, referring to the new PAP faces in the last two general elections.
