In his online address to the people of Potong Pasir SMC earlier tonight (July 3), Singapore People’s Party chairman Jose Raymond laid out his plans for the ward should he be elected. 

The 48-year-old former journalist and ex-press secretary to Minister Vivian Balakrishnan is taking on the incumbent People’s Action Party candidate Sitoh Yih Pin this general election after succeeding Lina Chiam, the wife of stalwart opposition politician Chiam See Tong, last November. 

Part of Raymond’s manifesto for Potong Pasir involves the eradication of Meet-the-People Sessions, a concept that he calls “out-of-date”. 

“Today, residents need to have their problems solved quickly. And with technology and communication tools, we must aspire to be more effective in how we can provide service to our residents,” he declared in the Facebook Live video. 

“Having to wait for hours just to have an appeal heard should be a process from the past which we should just move on once and for all.”
