"In the previous elections, in 2020, the ruling party won 61 percent of the popular vote, among its worst showings, and the Worker’s Party took 10 seats, the most ever for an opposition party. Those results made clear that a growing number of Singaporeans want change. The underlying public concerns that contributed to the 2020 outcome have only intensified since then.
Singaporeans deserve open and accountable government and more say in the policies that affect them. Genuine democracy also will help make Singapore more resilient in withstanding the challenges of a fracturing world. Even my father predicted a day “must come” when the People’s Action Party would no longer be in power."
