Hope so .. East Coast still waiting for the reply to East Coast plan.

While the plan caught on during GE2020, no concrete "East Coast Plan" was made public immediately after the election.
The actual, structured version of the East Coast Plan was officially unveiled in April 2025, nearly five years after its initial conception. It was launched through a dedicated website.

China's President Xi Jinping earns a fraction of the humongous wages of SG's Ministers, but the Chinese people have unwavering support for their govt because they see genuine progress, real ownership and the building of national strength from within the country itself. What are the highest paid politicians in the world here in S'pore able to offer the people in terms of lowering the cost of living? CDC vouchers; what the fuck?

Empty promises as usual from PAP.

The PAP introduces new candidates, but no new ideas to make our lives better. While the people keep facing old problems, our leaders keep buying new GCBs.

I agree.
If Nicole is contesting this time, the WP chances would improve
