“One lady resident who has lived in Potong Pasir for 40 years was so infuriated when we informed her that her MP was a big proponent of the GST hike that she said she was going to see him at the Meet-the-People session to give him an earful!” he wrote
SINGAPORE — Although Potong Pasir SMC has been popularly associated with opposition figure and former member of parliament Chiam See Tong in the past, it has been held by the People’s Action Party’s Sitoh Yih Pin since he won the constituency in the 2011 Singapore General Election. Attempts by the Singapore People’s Party to wrestle it back in subsequent elections proved futile as Sitoh successfully defended his seat in 2015 and 2020 against Lina Chiam and Jose Raymond, respectively.
“One lady resident who has lived in Potong Pasir for 40 years was so infuriated when we informed her that her MP was a big proponent of the GST hike that she said she was going to see him at the Meet-the-People session to give him an earful!” posted Lim on his Facebook after they visited Potong Pasir SMC.
The PV’s leader also shared that many residents are currently facing financial difficulties due to the high cost of living, which are expected to persist for the foreseeable future despite the government’s claims of a strong economy. Lim Tean also mentioned that, during these challenging times, it is the government’s responsibility to manage the cost increases and, if necessary, to take strong actions to eradicate predatory commercial practices, which only exacerbate the citizens’ suffering.
