The opposition Progress Singapore Party has been hard at work to prepare for the 2025 General Election despite the redrawn boundaries and the short time to engage new residents, said party chief Leong Mun Wai on April 15.

PSP says it has been hard at work and is ready to engage voters

"Hazel and I have worked hard in Parliament over the past five years, having filed over 700 parliamentary questions, eight private member's full motions, six adjournment motions and one private member's Bill, the only one to have been filed by an opposition MP," said Mr Leong in a statement after the Writ of Election was issued, paving the way for a May 3 ballot.

He was referring to Ms Hazel Poa, the party's first vice-chairperson. Both Mr Leong and Ms Poa are incumbent Non-Constituency MPs (NCMPs).

"PSP stands on our track record, and we are ready to engage the voters to buy into our vision of 'Progress For All' for Singapore," he said. "Progress For All" is the party's new campaign slogan.

At roughly 8pm on April 15, PSP members, including leaders and potential candidates, streamed into the party headquarters in Upper Bukit Timah Road for a meeting to discuss plans following the confirmation of the election timeline.
