GE: SDP unveils lineup for Sembawang GRC

The Singapore Democratic Party is fielding James Gomez, John Tan, Jarrod Luo, Mohd Isa Abdul Aziz and Sadasivam Veriyah in Sembawang GRC.

Dr Gomez said the team fielded in Sembawang is not an "A" team but a "people's" team.

He said the party selected candidates whom they felt can talk to and connect with residents in Sembawang.

Mr Sadasivam and Mr Luo said they are residents in the Sembawang GRC and so are able to understand the concerns of
those living here.

The candidates questioned why Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan who is also anchor minister for the PAP's Sembawang team, unveiled the S$500 million renewal plan for the constituency only now, days ahead of Nomination Day.

If elected, the SDP said they would raise not only municipal issues like transport but also national issues like the ones outlined in the 10 SDP promises.

Among them, the SDP will contribute half of its MP allowance to the party, and to seed an endowment fund for the needy, if elected. It also wants to ensure Singaporeans get priority in employment and to reduce GST and medical fees.

On Mr Khaw's response on his religion on Saturday, Dr Gomez said that the issue is on affordability of healthcare for Singaporeans, not Mr Khaw's religion. The team also challenged Mr Khaw to an open debate like the one they issued to Minister Vivian Balakhrishnan earlier.
