THE People's Action Party's election manifesto is likely to be
unveiled on Sunday, when Young PAP celebrates its 25th
anniversary.
The widely-anticipated document is said to focus on 'the future
Singaporeans want,' and will likely be the topic of Prime Minister
Lee Hsien Loong's speech at the event.
Although the content of the manifesto is tightly-guarded, party
sources say that it will contain election promises on 'keeping
Singaporeans together'.
Hot-button issues like the influx of foreigners over the last
few years and the income gap are also expected to feature.
It was written by a committee of PAP MPs spearheaded by Finance
Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, and its launch flags off the
ruling party's campaign for the upcoming elections.
