This morning I advised the President to issue the Writ of Election for Punggol East constituency. Nomination Day will be 16 January, and Polling Day 26 January.
We have a busy national agenda this year. Immediate issues are the Population White Paper, Budget 2013, and Our Singapore Conversation. A continuing priority is economic growth and workers’ incomes, especially in a weak global economy. I have decided to hold a by-election in Punggol East to give the residents their own MP in Parliament, before we focus back on these national issues.
I hope Punggol East residents will vote wisely for the candidate who can best represent them in Parliament, solve their problems and improve their lives. – LHL
