Dr Ng Eng Hen indicated that the new potential candidates for the PAP in the next general election are all already working the ground and are active in the constituencies.
He explained that they are already doing various work such as being active in grassroots organisations and volunteering with meet-the-people sessions.
Dr Ng, who is the PAP's organising secretary, said that the PAP likes people who have been active in grassroots as these people have clearly shown that they are dedicated to the residents.
He also said that it's important that the PAP selects new candidates who are active on the ground from early on as this was one of the common themes that arose out of feedback in the last GE.
This way, the candidates will understand the residents better and be able to know their needs.
Dr Ng did not indicate which constituencies the new potential candidates were in nor did he say how many they had. However, he said that they have plenty of candidates to ensure that they can pick good quality candidates.
The next general election must be held before January of 2017.
