Six months after an election that marked a shift in Singapore's political landscape, the People's Action Party (PAP) has laid out the ways in which it will change in response to new political realities.
It will correct policy shortcomings, like in housing, and do more in taking care of not just the elderly and the needy, but the middle-income too.
It will overhaul its outreach strategy, and consult Singaporeans more actively.
Its decision-making will be more decentralised. Activists and MPs will be more empowered to reflect people's views, while ministers must work harder to build political support for tough policies.
