At the young guns forum organised by the National University of Singapore's Political Association, 4 young party members from Singapore's political parties were asked how they rated their parties' performance since GE2011.
MP Baey Yam Keng went to the forum to speak for PAP and he responded that since 2011, he would give the PAP a 6 out of10.
He reasoned that at the last election, PAP won about 60% of the votes and since then there are still several problems in the way that the PAP runs the country.
He felt that the PAP has done well in some areas and improved in many aspects and he believes that the people are aware of the improvements.
However, given their huge majority in parliament there is actually a lot more that the PAP can do.
The biggest point of improvement that Baey Yam Keng identified was that the PAP needs to work on its relationship with the people.
He said that even with good intentions and good policy outcomes, the PAP needs be able to communicate and connect with the public.
The other members at the forum were:
- WP – MP Pritam Singh
- SDP – Ms Chee Siok Chin
- NSP – Mr Syafarin Sarif
