People's Action Party Punggol GRC rally May 1 | Highlights Transcription

• 00:00 - 00:30 Nine days ago, my coming to Pongo took many by surprise. When Prime Minister approached me with this task, I readily accepted the challenge. Why? Why? because I fully supported his intentions to have someone senior to take senior Minister Tio's place when he retires so that we can continue to take into account the voices of the people of
• 00:30 - 01:00 [Applause] Bongo. Over the last nine days, I've seen for myself how amazing Pong is. Pongo is now one of the most sought after residential areas. [Music] [Applause] You have one of the most enviable
• 01:00 - 01:30 networks of green spaces and parks where families can gather and play. Corny Island just a stone throw away. [Applause] Hong Waterway Park has become a national icon with amenities such as the picnic areas, gardens, and waterways winding through the HTB
• 01:30 - 02:00 estates. Nowhere else in Singapore can proud homeowners enjoy this kind of waterfront living. [Applause] The Pongo Digital District, the PDD, has created over 28,000 jobs and continues to be a test bed for new and emerging technologies. It is where students, businesses, and the community come
• 02:00 - 02:30 together to learn to work, live and play. And this all this did not happen by accident. It was the product of 15 to 20 years of hard work by the PAP government. At the end of the day, I believe the best way to help those in need is to secure secure for them good [Applause] jobs. Wing has been actively championing
• 02:30 - 03:00 workers issues in parliament and bringing job fairs to Pongo residents. Nationally, we are also doing all we can to help Singaporeans. As Minister of Trade and Industry for the past four years, I'm driving the efforts to grow our economy, help our businesses, and provide better jobs for Singaporeans. [Applause] [Music] It has not been easy surviving the coid9
• 03:00 - 03:30 pandemic weathering a period of high inflation and global supply chain disruptions and now the most recent US tariffs. We have set up the Singapore Economic Resilience Task Force to help our businesses adjust and adapt quickly and prepare our workers for jobs of the future. We will double down on reskilling and upskilling initiatives and give the
• 03:30 - 04:00 vulnerable more support to bounce back [Applause] quickly. We want to do more to support our Pongo families. Some of you worry because you have elderly parents to take care of. This is a concern that many Singaporeans have, especially among our younger families. We know this and you are not [Applause]
• 04:00 - 04:30 alone. We will work with you and we want to strengthen more support for our caregivers. This may take some time to implement, but if elected, I promise to further explore how we can give our seniors and caregivers greater support and greater peace of mind. [Applause] Let me let me end on a personal note. I
• 04:30 - 05:00 know some have been whispering on the ground, Gan Kimyong already 66 and he's DPM and task force man. He has to look after our economy and trade. So where got time for Pongo residents? Let me say this. I've been in politics for almost 25 years
• 05:00 - 05:30 now. Since I started in 2001, my first priority has always been my residence. [Applause] [Music] I can only be a minister if I am an [Applause]
• 05:30 - 06:00 MP. So being your MP is my first [Applause] priority. Yes, I'm task force man. I have many tasks but none more important than the task of looking after you. I am task force man for Bongo. The workers party has been making a big
• 06:00 - 06:30 hoo-ha about how in parliament once they voted in favor of a constitutional amendment to make up the numbers. You know, for that constitutional amendment, it was straightforward. There was no reason for them not to have voted against it. It was not controversial and they had every reason to vote in favor of it. But but there is another amendment. There's another amendment
• 06:30 - 07:00 that they didn't tell you about and I want to tell you about that today. These are or these two amendments were the repeal of section 377A and the constitutional amendment to introduce a new article 156 to protect the definition of marriage as a union between man and women against legal challenge. Now let me just give you a bit of background on this so that you
• 07:00 - 07:30 understand the issue and why it's important. For section 377A, there was a time that we did not repeal it, but many requests were made and eventually it was decided that now enough people have felt that the acts which under that section should not be a crime. Whether religiously, morally, you you agree with them is a different thing, but it need not be a crime. But the other more significant thing was this. there was a risk that
• 07:30 - 08:00 the court would strike down 377A in the future. And there was a then recent court of appeal judgment which hinted that in the event of a future constitutional challenge section 377A could be struck down. Now, if that were to happen, it would open up the definition of marriage as a union between man and woman to challenge, which could also have a knock-on effect
• 08:00 - 08:30 on our social policies. So, the government moved to do two things. one, to repeal section 377A, but two, to make a constitutional amendment to introduce a new article to protect the current definition of marriage as a union between man and woman against a legal challenge. But we also left open the door to allow future governments to amend the definition of
• 08:30 - 09:00 marriage by simple majority so as not to unduly restrict or prevent future generations and a future government from deciding this issue. Now, when it came to voting, the PAP did not lift the whip and as a result, the repeal and the amendments to the constitution were carried. The workers party on the other hand made a big deal of the fact that
• 09:00 - 09:30 they were lifting their whip and they voted their voting was all over the place. On section 377A repeal, five supported, two opposed, one was absent, but he was he said he was ill. Then on the constitutional amendment, six supported, two abstained, and they had one that was absent. Now you need to understand the impact of this.
• 09:30 - 10:00 If the PAP had taken the same approach because under the WP approach it was anybody can vote as they like. There was no leadership. There was no party position. It was a political calculation to be all things to all people. They certainly had many alternative voices but no party position and they had the luxury of
• 10:00 - 10:30 voting this way only because the PAP had not lifted the whip and we carried the motions. Now, if the PAP had taken a similar approach and we had lifted the whip and if the repeal and or the amendments were not carried, this is what would have happened or could have happened. Section 377A could have been struck down and the current definition of marriage as a
• 10:30 - 11:00 union between a man and a woman would have been at risk, open to legal challenge with the possibility that it could be struck down. It would have led to polarization and a clash between the different groups because this was an issue on which people have strong feelings and strong views. Some from a moral viewpoint, some from a religious viewpoint, whatever it is, but they had very strong views. And if we had not been able to carry these motions, you would have had that
• 11:00 - 11:30 polarization. That would have been an adversarial process and a social issue which should be decided by the people and parliament would have ended up being decided by the courts instead and that would have been very very stressful and put a lot of strains on our society. The PAP's approach kept things in balance. It achieved a new equilibrium and it took into account the views from both sides. It provided
• 11:30 - 12:00 leadership but most of all it took courage. It took courage because there was a lot of pressure at that time from many sides. But we had to steer that course and it would have been so easy to go the WP route. But we did not because we believe in preserving our society in having unity, taking into account everybody's considerations but trying to
• 12:00 - 12:30 create that space where we can all live together and have some accommodation. So I would ask those to whom these issues matter to reflect on this. When it came to the crunch on a delicate and potentially very contentious matter, WP
• 12:30 - 13:00 bailed. Political leadership requires courage not expedience. Besides besides serving in your constituency, the people you select will also serve as leaders. It's not just to represent you in your constituency, but they will also serve as leaders in parliament and in government. And and here residents have to choose carefully. Then I know there is some tension in the minds of some Singaporeans because on the one hand
• 13:00 - 13:30 some Singaporeans say they would like to have more alternative voices in parliament to serve as a check and balance on the PAP. Yeah. Now I understand why some people would feel that way but in fact you can be assured that there will be alternative voices in parliament. After all the workers party, one of its candidates himself said that the workers party now has safe
• 13:30 - 14:00 seats. So they with their safe seats, there will be workers party presence in parliament. Furthermore, in this election, we have multiple hotly contested seats, GRC's and singles, not just here in Bongul, but in other places too, in other parts of Singapore. Some may well make a breakthrough. I don't know. But if they do, they will add to the opposition presence in the next parliament. So that's for those who
• 14:00 - 14:30 who think that they would like to have more alternative voices in parliament. On the other hand, the GRC's are helmed by experienced ministers and they include new PAP candidates who could be your future leaders. Why is this important? Let me explain. If you look at my team today already four experienced members, I'm talking about the senior ministers have
• 14:30 - 15:00 stepped down already. One is Tman, President Tman. He stepped down earlier in the term and now Tioshi Henikhan. There are others of course, but I'm talking about the more experienced and senior ministers. That's four. I have made a great effort to bring in new blood in this election to refresh and rejuvenate the team. But the new faces will take time to develop and grow before they can take on leadership
• 15:00 - 15:30 positions. This is the same for all of us. When I came in in 2011, I had to take time before I took on ministerial roles. Now, what happens if we were to lose a few ministers in this election? And we're not just talking one or two, but possibly three or four. Remember, I said four had already stepped down. If I lose another four in this election, that's eight ministers.
• 15:30 - 16:00 The opposition says, "Don't worry. The Workers Party team can do the same job at a cheaper price. [Applause] But you know that cannot be true." [Applause] The minister would have acred years of policymaking experience, ground engagements as well as building personal
• 16:00 - 16:30 relationships with foreign counterparts, relationships that take time to build, trust that takes times to forge. How would any new backbencher be able to come in immediately and do the work at the same level? It's not [Applause] possible. Or you think about team sports like football. In football, if the members of the starting 11, your first 11, if some
• 16:30 - 17:00 key members are unable to play, what happens? Well, the coach says, "Never mind. I've got some backups. I got substitutes." Yes, you have substitutes. You may even have a super sub. But remember I said four already step down another four. If we were to lose another four that's eight people. How many substitutes can you have? And everyone knows that even if you have substitutes even if if you have good
• 17:00 - 17:30 substitutes the team cannot function at the same level. It's true in football. It's the same in any organization and it will be the same for my team. So to all voters to all voters all over Singapore to voters here in Pongol I would put the issue to you squarely to consider very
• 17:30 - 18:00 seriously because the stakes are high. If you vote for the opposition, sure you will get more alternative voices in parliament, but you will also weaken me and my team. You will weaken our ability to serve you. Ultimately, you will weaken ourselves, Singaporeans, at a time when Singapore is facing a very serious and
• 18:00 - 18:30 growing challenge. But if you vote for the PAP, if you vote for the PAP, you will not get the contrant voice that the opposition will surely make in parliament. Although you can be assured there will still be opposition presence in parliament like I said but you will get a dedicated and experienced team to serve you and your
• 18:30 - 19:00 [Applause] family. This team will speak up for you in parliament. They will represent you and importantly importantly you will have capable leaders in government who will help steer Singapore safely through this
• 19:00 - 19:30 storm and take our country forward. [Music] So that's the key choice that Singaporeans and voters will have to consider each and everyone. I know it's not an easy decision to make, but that's your privilege as a citizen of
• 19:30 - 20:00 Singapore. You decide on the future of our country. That's how democracy works. You decide on the future of Singapore. Some of you may ask how should I consider what what will I what will my considerations be based on? How will I decide? Everyone will have their own perspectives and views. I would suggest you consider carefully the character of the individuals you choose.
• 20:00 - 20:30 Are they honest, truthful, upfront and upright people? Do you trust that they will always put Singapore's interest first above all else? The interest of Singapore and Singaporeans. Do you trust that they will uphold the
• 20:30 - 21:00 fundamental ideals that we all cherish here in Singapore? So ask yourself these questions and consider carefully. I believe a lot comes down to character. Character matters and I can personally vouch for the character of [Applause] Gimyong. [Applause]
• 21:00 - 21:30 [Music] [Applause] Here is a person who has served Singapore all his life. He's a servant leader, steady, sincere, with a heart for our people. And now with a heart for all of you in [Applause]
• 21:30 - 22:00 Pongul. Kimyong is not alone. The others in the Pongol team as all of you know because you have already you are familiar with them. They are people you know, people you trust. They are committed, capable and they are here to serve you. So look at the individuals carefully, consider their character and I say to all voters in Pongul, please give our
• 22:00 - 22:30 PAP team your full support. [Applause] Friends and fellow Singaporeans, over the last 60 years, you have trusted the PAP to build Singapore with you. The PAP has walked this journey
• 22:30 - 23:00 with you. All this while the opposition parties say they don't want to form the government. Whose responsibility is that? It's the PAP. The PAP does the heavy lifting. The PAP's job. It's not mine. They want more seats but not more responsibility. But the PAP has carried this responsibility responsibility and we have walked this journey together
• 23:00 - 23:30 with all of you these last 60 years and more. [Music] And this journey together has been a journey of faith because Singapore began with nothing. We had not enough water, no natural resources, no hinterland. We only had a people with different races, language and
• 23:30 - 24:00 religions, diverse but bound together by a shared conviction. a conviction that we could build something together, that we could build something better if we did it [Applause] together. And so many people said that we couldn't make it, but we did. We made
• 24:00 - 24:30 this happen. [Applause] In one generation, we went from mud flats to metropolis. From struggling from survival to standing tall in the [Applause] world. And look, it's not because we got lucky or somehow we got some we struck lottery.
• 24:30 - 25:00 It's simply because we stood as one people and we never gave [Applause] up. We dare to dream big and we work hard to make our dreams come [Applause] true. And along the way, we forge something special here in Singapore. It's not just a successful country. It's
• 25:00 - 25:30 a harmonious inclusive society and a strong and united [Applause] people. That's the Singapore spirit. That is what got us [Applause] here. Now the world has changed and what we relied on in the past is no longer guaranteed. You can see it around us.
• 25:30 - 26:00 The major powers are clashing. Tensions are rising. Trade barriers are going up. Global rules are breaking down. So, we cannot stand still. Our next chapter of the Singapore story will not write itself. We must write it together. [Applause] And that's why I step forward to serve
• 26:00 - 26:30 as your prime minister. It's not because I have all the answers, but because I love my country and I want to do my best for you, my fellow Singaporeans. [Applause] I believe that our best chapters lie ahead of us. And if we have the courage
• 26:30 - 27:00 to renew ourselves, the humility to listen and the strength to stay united, we will prevail and we will forge a brighter future. [Applause] [Applause] That's what I've tried so hard to do and worked so hard to do over the past year
• 27:00 - 27:30 to bring Singaporeans together and to chart our new way forward as one people. I've visited you in your neighborhoods. I've engaged our diverse communities, different ethnic groups, communities young and old. I've listened and heard from you in dialogues and in town halls because to me every voice matters. Every Singaporean matters. You
• 27:30 - 28:00 matter. I've just started this work. As you know, it's only been a year since I took on the responsibility as prime minister. just six months as leader of the PAP. I don't do this work alone. I do it with my team. In the course of this campaign, I heard one of the opposition parties said, "Lawrence Wong is nowhere like Lie
• 28:00 - 28:30 Kuwanu. So different standards have dropped." And I kind of laughed because who in Singapore is like Liuanu? There is only one league one you no other. I don't compare myself to him. I am my own person. But remember even Mr. Lee Kwanu had a team to work
• 28:30 - 29:00 with and so so too will I. I need a team to work with, to work with all of you, to work for you, and to take Singapore [Applause] forward. Together, we have sketched out the outlines of our new vision, our shared vision for Singapore. A Singapore that's more caring, more fair, and more just. Where every child has a good
• 29:00 - 29:30 start. Every worker gets a fair shot. Where families feel supported, not stressed. Where our seniors live with dignity and peace of mind. where progress is measured not just in dollars and cents, but in lives uplifted, dreams fulfilled, and a sense of purpose shared by every
• 29:30 - 30:00 Singaporean. These are not just words. You have seen the changes we've made over the past year. In cost of living, we have rolled out comprehensive packages in the budget to help you and the measures will be coming soon, month after month. In education, we have reformed, we've made changes to reduce examination stress, pressure, unnecessary competition and to
• 30:00 - 30:30 focus on what matters and we will continue to do so. In housing, we have ramped up the supply because of COVID disruptions. We have now caught up with demand and in time to come we will be able to stabilize the market and ensure everyone can get even more affordable [Applause] [Music] housing. In healthcare we have increased
• 30:30 - 31:00 subsidies. We have made it more affordable. We made it more affordable for long-term care. We are making it easier for you to stay healthy through healthier SG for our families. We are providing more support for parents, for young children. For families with more children, you will get more support. So these are concrete changes we have made. But with your trust and
• 31:00 - 31:30 with your support, we can go further. We can make our vision real for every Singaporean. But at the same time, I should highlight to everyone that the road ahead will not be easy. The storms that we are facing is already upon us and we must brace ourselves for more turbulence ahead. We cannot avoid these
• 31:30 - 32:00 storms. It's everywhere in the world. We will be impacted by it. But we can choose how we respond to it. We can give in to anger, to cynicism, to division. Or we can choose compassion, solidarity, and strength. [Applause]
• 32:00 - 32:30 We can choose to tear down as some in the opposition might want to do or we can choose to build up. We can choose to pull apart or we can choose to pull together. And Singaporeans would have heard the campaigns, the speeches, the
• 32:30 - 33:00 man, you have read the manifestos of all the different parties. You know what different parties offer. But I say to you what the PAP offers is very clear. We choose to build. We choose to pull together. We choose to unite Singapore. [Music] Look, the PAP is not a perfect party. No
• 33:00 - 33:30 party is perfect. We make mistakes, but we have always been upfront with you. We own up. We learn. We improve. Through it all, every step of the way, we put Singaporeans at the center of everything we do. [Applause] We don't just take the easy
• 33:30 - 34:00 road. We don't just offer sweet and easy promises. We are prepared to take the hard road so long as it is the right and responsible thing to do. We don't promise that we can solve every problem. Some things will be very complex and may take time. But you will have our word that we will always walk
• 34:00 - 34:30 with you, fight for you, and we will never give up on you. [Applause] We will always do right by Singapore and Singaporeans. So if you give me and my team your support and trust, we will serve you with all our hearts. [Applause]
• 34:30 - 35:00 Friends and fellow Singaporeans, this election is not just about who wins more seats. Your vote is a vote of what we believe in, who we want to be, what kind of Singapore we want. Do we want more politics or do we want real solutions?
• 35:00 - 35:30 [Applause] Do we want a country where everything is turn into a fight, divided by anger, or do we want a country where we can find common ground, lift each other up and move forward as one? [Applause] I say let's choose unity over
• 35:30 - 36:00 division. Let's choose integrity over halftruths. Let's choose action over [Applause] posturing. Let's choose Singapore and build our future together. [Applause]
• 36:00 - 36:30 My PAP team and I, every member of my team, every candidate will focus on what matters. We share a collective new resolve to solve your problems, to improve your lives, and take Singapore forward.
