Led by the party’s secretary-general Ravi Philemon, and CEC members Fazli Talip and Emily Woo, RDU visited residents at Block 155 Yung Loh Road and the coffeeshop at Block 158.
SINGAPORE — Opposition party Red Dot United received a healthy dose of feedback from the residents during their community outreach at Jurong GRC recently. Some of the concerns raised by those that they met are the rising cost of living and other financial worries, access to healthcare and transportation service in the area.
The party that contested Jurong GRC in the 2020 Singapore General Election also mentioned that there were several residents that expressed their support for RDU, and they emphasised the need for a ‘responsible opposition’ whose duty is to provide checks and balances on the government. “Many mentioned struggling to find any food below $4, whether it be in the hawker centers or the coffeeshops. Several individuals highlighted their financial uncertainty, particularly one resident who is actively seeking full-time employment while supporting five children,” said the party on their Facebook.
In June 2022, the Ministry of Health announced that a new Taman Jurong Polyclinic will be built by 2028 on the old West Point Hospital site, at 235 Corporation Drive. In a media release, MOH mentioned that as the population ages and chronic disease burden prevalence increases, it is important that Singaporeans continue to have access to affordable primary care in the community.
