Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat stresses the importance of the People’s Action Party (PAP) continuing to represent all Singaporeans, emphasizing the need to strengthen national cohesion and connect with a new generation of voters.
SINGAPORE – The People’s Action Party ( PAP ) must continue to represent all Singapore ans, even as it deepens its connection with a new generation of voters, said Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat .
While the party has continued to make good progress in uplifting Singaporeans and advancing the nation’s interests, the challenges ahead mean it needs to strengthen the country’s cohesion and bring all Singaporeans together, said DPM Heng on Nov 23, the opening evening of the two-day biennial PAP Awards and Conference. DPM Heng, who is PAP chairman, also urged party members to rally the people’s support in order to earn a strong mandate in the coming general election, due by November 2025. Speaking to more than 3,000 party activists and guests gathered at Singapore Expo, DPM Heng said the PAP is proud to celebrate its 70th anniversary this year. “Against the odds facing a small, fledging nation, we secured water, food, jobs, housing and quality education for our people,” he said. “In the crucible of nation-building, we forged a deep trust with fellow Singaporeans.”Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s contributions include leading Singapore’s development into a smart nation and a global city that connects Asia with the rest of the world, said DPM Heng.

The PAP has responded with an exercise to refresh itself, led by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong with input from over 2,300 activists and partners. “The message is clear: The PAP must continue to represent all Singaporeans – even as we deepen our connection with the new generation of voters,” he sai
