Beyond the number of seats that the PAP and opposition parties obtain, every general election is about electing people with integrity and commitment, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing.

This is so that they can take care of residents at the local level, form a good government at the national level, and represent Singapore at the international level, Mr Chan, who is the PAP's assistant secretary-general, said on April 13.

He was speaking at a media conference to unveil the PAP slate for opposition-held Aljunied GRC at Block 226 Serangoon Avenue 4.

The PAP aims to have a team with a mix of experience and new members to earn Singaporeans' mandate, amid the changing world order and uncertainties, he said.

Mr Chan added: "We aim to build a team that can command the respect and confidence of international partners to take us seriously, especially in times of turbulence, so that people can continue to have faith in Singaporeans and Singapore to put their investments here."
