PAP needs to review way it governs: George
Yeo
WHATEVER the results of the general election, the People's
Action Party will have to take a very hard look at itself and
review the way it governs, said Mr George Yeo.
The Foreign Minister observed that the run-up to Saturday's
polls has surfaced a level of anger and resentment towards the
government and the PAP, which he said cannot be ignored.
And if elected, Mr Yeo, who leads the PAP team in the
fiercely-battled Aljunied GRC, pledged that he and his team-mates
would be 'advocates of reform' within the party, the government and
the Cabinet.
In an
interview with The Straits Times and Chinese-language daily Lianhe
Zaobao on Thursday morning, Mr Yeo, whose team is facing off the
Workers' Party 'A' slate led by Mr Low Thia Khiang, acknowledged
that 'there is considerable resentment against the government and
its policies, and some of them run deep'.
It is this emotional undertone that the WP team in Aljunied GRC
has managed to tap into, he thinks. 'In that regard, the WP
provides a loudspeaker for those who are frustrated, resentful and
angry,' said Mr Yeo.
'This is a struggle for the soul of Singapore.'
