GE2025: West Coast-Jurong West GRC sees rematch between PAP and PSP, Singapore News
West Coast GRC saw the narrowest of vote difference at General Election 2020, with PAP claiming 51.68 per cent of the share.
The new five-member West Coast-Jurong West GRC, which was formed mainly with parts of West Coast GRC, will be contested by PAP's anchor minister Desmond Lee, Shawn Huang, Ang Wei Neng, new faces Cassandra Lee and Dr Hamid Razak, and PSP's Dr Tan Cheng Bock, Leong Mun Wai, Hazel Poa, Sumarleki Amjah and Sani Ismail.
National Development Minister Lee thanked residents for giving him the privilege to serve during the previous term.
"During this time, we've visited you and we've met you at events and walkabouts. We've served you at meet the people sessions. We are here to serve you and we seek your support over the next five years, so we can look after our estate and continue to serve you for five years and onwards," he said.
West Coast-Jurong West now includes Taman Jurong, a ward held by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam for more than 20 years before he resigned in 2023 to contest the presidential election.
It also no longer includes areas of Dover, Telok Blangah, HarbourFront and Sentosa, based on the new electoral boundaries released on March 11.
Nan Hua High School is also the nomination centre for Jurong East-Bukit Batok GRC, Jurong Central SMC and Pioneer SMC.

'Our role is to make ourselves obsolete': First-time WP candidates reflect on GE2025 and whether they'll run again, Singapore News
Workers' Party (WP) candidates said that their decision to contest in Singapore's next general election will not depend on personal choice, but on whether the party attracts more qualified candidates. WP candidates Siti Alia Abdul Rahim Mattar and Sufyan Mikhail Putra sat down with fellow party members and hosts of This Side of the House, Eileen Chong and Andre Low. In a 42-minute-long debut episode uploaded to the party's social media channels on Monday (Aug 11), the first-time candidates reflected on GE2025 and their personal experiences stepping into Singapore's political arena as newbies. When asked about their plans to run again at the next election in five years, Siti Alia said that it would depend on what is best for the party. "It's always a question of if there are better candidates, more experienced candidates, more trained candidates — people that the party feels would be a better fit," she said. Siti Alia said it may not be necessary to field the same candidates, but that it might be more important for the party to continue contesting in the same constituencies. "I feel like when people say 'don't give up', I think they're telling the party: 'Don't give up on our constituency'," she said, giving the example of Punggol GRC where she contested. Chong agreed, adding that the decision to contest again would be reliant on what the party believes the Singapore electorate is looking for. She also recalled being teary-eyed on the team's perambulating vehicle the day after election results were out, where residents ran up to thank her for contesting and asked her to try again in five years. "It's hard to turn your back on what we're all building together," said Chong, who said she felt encouraged by the support shown throughout the nine days of campaigning. Low also agreed with Siti Alia's perspective, reflecting that the longer term goal as an opposition party is to "to make ourselves obsolete". "I hadn't thought about it that way, but if we zoom out a little bit, our role as opposition politicians is really to make ourselves obsolete. "We want to push and forward the opposition cause in Singapore to a point where there are so many qualified people who feel like they should step up and contribute," he explained, adding that there will be no guarantee that the four of them will still contest in the next election, should there be more qualified people for the job. "The moment we become replaceable, that's actually brilliant for Singapore," he said. Chiming in, Sufyan said that WP has had various people joining their outreach efforts in all the constituencies after GE2025, and that "the talent that [they've] seen is very encouraging". Singapore's 15th parliament to open on Sept 5 Siti Alia was part of the four-person team that contested in Punggol GRC. The team received 44.83 per cent of votes, losing to the People's Action Party (PAP) team led by Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong. Sufyan contested in the five-member East Coast GRC team led by Yee Jenn Jong. The team received 41.24 per cent of votes and ceded defeat to the incumbent PAP team led by current Minister for Law, Edwin Tong. Low contested in Jalan Kayu SMC and received the highest percentage of votes (48.53 per cent) among the unelected opposition candidates, and was chosen as the first Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) following the conclusion of GE2025. Chong had contested Tampines GRC alongside Faisal Manap, Michael Thng, Ong Lue Ping and Jimmy Tan in a four-way fight, losing to a People's Action Party (PAP) team led by Masagos Zulkifli. Chong's team received the second highest percentage of votes (47.37 per cent) among the unelected opposition candidates, and Chong was subsequently elected NCMP. The first session of Singapore's 15th parliament will open next month on Sept 5, with Low and Chong to appear alongside WP's 10 MPs from Aljunied GRC, Sengkang GRC and Hougang SMC. [[nid:720962]]

Leong Mun Wai says PSP push ‘paid off' as Chee Hong Tat announces review of BTO age limit for singles
On 11 August 2025, Leong Mun Wai, Secretary-General of the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) and former Non-Constituency Member of Parliament, said the party's advocacy has 'paid off' after the government announced a review of Build-to-Order (BTO) eligibility rules for singles. Leong's comments came a day after National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat, in his first in-depth media interview since taking office in May, revealed that the government is studying potential changes to two public housing policies. Chee said the review covers the age at which singles can apply for BTO flats — currently 35 years — and the income ceiling for BTO applicants, presently set at S$14,000 for families. He added that any adjustments would be made 'at an appropriate time' and would depend on whether housing supply could meet potential increases in demand. According to Chee, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) has already recovered from COVID-19 construction delays and surpassed its earlier target of 100,000 new flats from 2021 to 2025, launching 102,300 units in that period. To meet strong demand, the government will launch around 55,000 BTO flats between 2025 and 2027, a 10 per cent increase from the earlier projection of 50,000 units over three years. Chee cautions that lowering singles' age limit could drive surge in housing demand Chee said lowering the singles' age limit or raising the income ceiling would make more people eligible for public housing, inevitably increasing demand. 'It's important for us to create the right conditions to be able to make these policy moves at the appropriate time,' he noted. In his Facebook post, Leong said that he and fellow former NCMP Hazel Poa have repeatedly called in Parliament for singles to be allowed to buy BTO flats from the age of 28, with eligibility for three-room units. These proposals, he said, were central to the PSP's General Election manifesto, aimed at promoting fairness for younger Singaporeans seeking independence. Leong urged the government to implement the change promptly, describing it as 'a significant step forward'. Currently, single citizens aged 35 and older can only apply for 2-room Flexi BTO flats, though they may receive up to S$60,000 in Enhanced CPF Housing Grant. Alternatively, they may buy resale flats from the open market. Leong urges quick release of VERS details Leong also welcomed Chee's announcement that the government will work out details of the Voluntary Early Redevelopment Scheme (VERS) within the current term, saying this has been another long-standing PSP concern. He warned that the absence of a clear plan for lease expiry disadvantages low-income homeowners and pressed for quick release of VERS details to provide certainty and compensation. Chee explained that VERS, unlike the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS), will be voluntary and offered to precincts when flats reach about 70 years old. Residents will vote on whether to proceed, similar to the Home Improvement Programme (HIP). Compensation terms are likely to be less generous than SERS because the flats will be older. VERS was first announced in 2018 by then-Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, with the aim of redeveloping older HDB towns over 20–30 years. Chee reiterated this week that the scheme would be staged progressively to avoid mass relocation in the 2070s and 2080s when many 99-year leases would otherwise expire. The government aims to identify pilot VERS sites before September 2030, with implementation likely from the first half of the next decade. Chee confirmed there are currently no plans for new SERS projects, with resources focused on VERS. The last SERS project was in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3, announced in April 2022. Supporting residents outside VERS Chee said residents who choose not to take up VERS will still be able to remain in their flats until leases expire. They will be supported by programmes such as the Silver Upgrading Programme and HIP II, which offers all flats a second upgrade at 60–70 years of age. HIP II will include more extensive works than the original programme, with corrosion-resistant repairs for spalling concrete and microwave scanning to detect hidden damage or water seepage. These technologies have been tested in complex cases and are intended to make flats durable until the end of their leases.

S'pore Govt asks inactive political parties including Barisan Sosialis for proof of existence
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Barisan Sosialis, registered in August 1961, was formed by thirteen former PAP assemblymen following their expulsion. SINGAPORE - A total of 14 dormant political parties, including Barisan Sosialis - once Singapore's largest opposition party - have been asked for proof of their existence by the authorities. In a notice published in the Government Gazette on Aug 7, assistant registrar of societies Ravinder Kaur asked for the information, 'having reason to believe that the ceased to exist'. The political parties have three months to furnish proof of their continued existence, failing which the Registrar can then publish another notice in the gazette to declare them as defunct under the Societies Act. Barisan Sosialis, registered in August 1961, was formed by thirteen former PAP assemblymen following their expulsion for abstaining from a Legislative Assembly vote on the confidence of the government. Several of its members, including party leader Lim Chin Siong, were among the more than 100 people arrested in Operation Coldstore - a security swoop against leftists and pro-communists on Feb 2, 1963. At the 1963 general election, the Barisan won 13 of the 46 seats it contested. Following Singapore's separation from Malaysia in 1965, its MPs boycotted Parliament as they deemed the Republic's independence as 'phoney'. The Barisan returned to fight the 1972 general election, but failed to win any seats. It was last represented at an election in 1984, and merged with the Workers' Party in 1988. Top stories Swipe.

As with the Barisan, the UPP fielded 46 candidates in the 1963 general election. It won one seat - Hong Lim, where Mr Ong was the incumbent. He left politics in 1965. The only party on the list registered post 2000s was the People's Liberal Democratic Party. The party was registered by former independent candidate Ooi Boon Ewe on May 2, 2006, but the application to set up the party was approved too late for him to run in the election held that year. Dormant political parties here have been revived in the past. At the 2015 general election, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) - which had been inactive for over a decade - formed a joint team with the Singapore People's Party to contest Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC. The PAP won with 73.59 per cent of the vote. The other political parties mentioned in the gazette notice were: Alliance Party Singapura, National Party of Singapore, Partai Rakyat, Singapore State Division, Parti Kesatuan Ra'ayat (United Democratic Party), People's Front, People's Republican Party Persatuan Melayu Singapura, Singapore Chinese Party, Singapore Indian Congress, United National Front and United People's Front. The Straits Times has contacted the Ministry of Home Affairs, which the Registry of Societies comes under, for more information about the Gazette notice, such as the criteria used to judge if a society is defunct.
