President Tharman Shanmugaratnam on Wednesday (Mar 19) approved the government's spending plans for the coming financial year.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday (Mar 19), Mr Tharman warned that Singapore must never lose its habit of "looking far ahead". (Mean planning ahead...) 
"So even as we deal with today’s problems like the cost of living, we also protect ourselves against future problems – and build opportunities for Singaporeans to do well, come what may," he said.

Sembawang West, which is helmed by MP Poh Li San, will be carved out as a single-member constituency at the general election. It is unclear who the PAP will field in the new single seat at the polls.
Mr Ong had said in February that he expects at least one new member to be added to the People’s Action Party team in the group representation constituency, as part of the party’s renewal process in every election cycle. The current MPs for Sembawang GRC: Mr Ong (Sembawang Central), Dr Lim Wee Kiak (Canberra), Mr Vikram Nair (Admiralty), Ms Mariam Jaafar (Woodlands)& Ms Poh.

Dr Lim was first elected in 2006, followed by Mr Nair in 2011 and Mr Ong in 2015. Both Ms Mariam and Ms Poh became MPs in 2020.
In the 2020 General Election, the PAP beat the National Solidarity Party (NSP) with 67.29 per cent of the vote. NSP has said it will run in Sembawang GRC in the coming general election. The Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) has since also thrown its hat into the ring, with party chief Chee Soon Juan announcing on March 23 that he will contest Sembawang West SMC. He had previously garnered 45.2 per cent of the vote in Bukit Batok SMC, which will be absorbed into the new Jurong East-Bukit Batok GRC.

When asked for her reaction to Dr Chee’s plan to run in Sembawang West, Ms Poh told The Straits Times that she would comment at another time. Later that evening, she posted on her Facebook page that she welcomed Dr Chee’s presence in Sembawang West SMC as it would give residents a choice.
She said: “I’ve spent the past five years knocking on doors, visiting shops, listening to concerns, working to improve the estate, and working towards the many exciting developments in our town “In an SMC, personal connections and consistent hard work matter, and I remain committed to serving residents.”

If not for him – his erstwhile mentor Chiam See Tong & late Workers’ Party leader Jeyaretnam and later Low Thia Khiang, S'pore would not have much opposition politics to talk.
Whereas Chiam was less confrontationist, but Dr Chee was always pushing for political envelope. He has lately displayed a more approachable persona. (I think is good, if he better managing his business opening his own restaurant is better for him..lehh).
Do we need a Dr Chee in Parliament?.
The live GE2020 TV debate eg: showed public could not be expected to hear only one-sided debates. A views of Workers’ Party’s for eg: Jamus Lim who then made debate for viewers thoroughly engaged & seriously. do we need a alternative views that hope can capture public’s imagination or to add life do we all need another fresher views? or a another drama to add to another drama’s sake...Rotfl

Throw a kitchen sink at him, and he’ll keep coming back like a scene from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator. Instead of licking his wounds after the boundaries in Bukit Batok were redrawn, Dr Chee said that the ward he previously contested in was unfairly “yanked away” from him. But there is nothing stopping him now. Chee has found a new stomping ground for his upcoming campaign in 2025. Dubbed as SDP’s Northern Strategy, SDP eyes the Northern districts of Singapore.
The Independent Singapore has followed him on his campaign trail and saw him firsthand doing house visits and greeting residents in Woodlands. Sembawang West, the newly minted single-member constituency, is a familiar ground for SDP, and the ground team has been covering this constituency since 2011.

A clip taken during his walkabout of Marine Parade last Saturday (March 22) has been taken out of context, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong said on Sunday, Minister Tong, who is also an MP for Marine Parade GRC, was at a walkabout where he interacted with residents at a coffee shop in Marine Terrace, part of the new Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC.
Facebook user Kent Lau later posted an edited video of Tong's interactions, wherein he appears to be speaking animatedly to a group of elderly men. However, one of them raises a hand, purportedly pointing his middle finger as video is slowed down. The video then cuts to a volunteer speaking to Minister Tong, where the former can be seen pointing at the camera with a serious look on his face.
Speaking with the media on Sunday, Tong said that the reception he received at the walkabout was warm and that the video was being used by some sites to place him in a negative light. "I think it is obvious (that it was) to push an agenda, I think, quite clearly for a political objective," said Tong. He also pointed out that Lau, who uploaded the original video, had clarified that his content had been taken out of context.
