GE2024 Campaign Launch: Charting a New Path for Singapore’s Future
On 11 May 2024, the SDP held its GE2024 Campaign Launch event at its headquarters in Bukit Batok.
Led by Secretary-General Dr Chee Soon Juan 徐顺全 and Chairman Dr Paul Tambyah, the party outlined key quality of life issues it would focus on as part of its election campaign – cost of living, inequality, productivity, and national identity – and put forth its position on current immigration and manpower policies affecting the former.
In his presentation, Dr Chee also pledged to have the party form a working committee in collaboration with economists and labour policy experts to develop credible proposals with actionable solutions for fellow Singaporeans.
The session concluded with a panel discussion between Vice Chairman Bryan Lim Boon Heng (林文兴), CEC Member Dr James Gomez, and Party Treasurer Surayah Akbar SDP. Moderated by Head of Communications Min Cheong-Subramaniam, the speakers explored topics ranging from the party’s response to the recently-published Forward SG report, voter engagement strategies, the changing socio-political landscape, the impact of social media and new technology, and the cogency of the SDP’s policies.
The event was attended by SDP Members, Changemakers, members of the public, and press representatives.
