SDA to contest Pasir Ris-Changi GRC even if it faces 3-way fight
The Straits Times
|April 21, 2025
The Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) has reaffirmed its decision to fight in Pasir Ris-Changi GRC this general election, even if it faces a three-cornered contest.
Party chairman Desmond Lim told reporters after a walkabout on Pulau Ubin on April 20 that SDA intends to continue serving the residents there. In 2020, SDA had gone up against the incumbent PAP and another opposition party, Peoples Voice (PV), in the then Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC.
Pasir Ris-Changi GRC combines most of the Pasir Ris estate and the Changi portion from what had been Pasir Ris-Punggol and East Coast GRCs, respectively. Pulau Ubin has been subsumed under the new boundaries of Pasir Ris-Changi GRC.
