SINGAPORE – The People’s Action Party (PAP) Aljunied GRC team on Wednesday (July 1) said Aljunied is “not owned by one party”, and that the issues at hand, including the Covid-19 pandemic, are larger than a fight between the PAP and Workers’ Party (WP).

The team was asked to comment about residents adopting a “buy one get one free” mentality, with the PAP team having campaigned for nine years in the opposition-held GRC.

Responding to reporters after a morning walkabout at a hawker centre in Bedok North Street 3, PAP candidate Alex Yeo said the focus remains on the residents.

“(You can) see our track record over the past nine years – even when we couldn’t find any government funds to tap, and even when we don’t run a town council.”

The 41-year-old cited the example of how his team in Paya Lebar privately raised funds to build sheltered walkways for children studying at the Living Sanctuary Brethren Church and En-Naeem mosque kindergartens.
