PPP raises concerns over rising cost of living, job insecurities in rally
The Straits Times
|April 27, 2025
The rising cost of living, affordability of healthcare and job insecurities were among the concerns that candidates of the People's Power Party (PPP) raised during its second rally on April 26.
Kicking off the 2½-hour rally, party secretary-general Goh Meng Seng urged people to stand up against what he termed the politics of fear, which he said has made it difficult for the PPP to rope in volunteers.
The PPP is contesting Ang Mo Kio and Tampines GRCs in the upcoming election. Its 10 candidates took the stage, criticising the PAP government on topics ranging from the national Covid-19 vaccination drive to Singapore's immigration policy.
"It is not that we are xenophobic... But if we do not give our children, our youngsters the opportunity to have a meaningful job to train, to upgrade and access experiences, how are they going to be the top in the world?
"I see so many youngsters are so demoralised because they can't see a future in their job," said Mr Goh, 55.
