GE not about 'who speaks loudest' but real progress, says Poh Li San

With Singapore facing economic uncertainty in a rapidly changing world, this is "not the time for rhetoric or reinvention" but steady and trusted leadership, said Ms Poh Li San of the PAP.

She said: "This election is not about who speaks the loudest. It is not about personalities. It is about people, it is about purpose, and it is about progress — real, visible, meaningful progress."

Ms Poh, 49, who is facing off against Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan, 62, in Sembawang West SMC, was speaking at a rally at Evergreen Primary School on April 30.

A first-term MP for Sembawang West when it was previously under Sembawang GRC, Ms Poh said she had met and helped 10,000 residents, and held more than 500 community events and 140 active ageing gatherings over the last five years.

Ms Poh, a senior vice-president at Changi Airport Group, said she understood the pressures that residents face on bread-and-butter issues.

Asking for support from voters, she said she will continue to speak up in Parliament for residents, especially on securing jobs in a more challenging economic environment.
