Foreword

My Fellow Singaporeans,

We have been fighting COVID-19 since the beginning of this year. It has been a hard fight, with all hands on deck. We have taken strong measures to prevent transmission and save lives, including the circuit breaker.

Now, families and friends are meeting again, shops and restaurants are progressively reopening, and businesses are resuming work, all with precautions.

Our economy has been severely disrupted. We have implemented four successive Budgets, injecting almost $100 billion, drawing on our past reserves. Our goal is to help companies, workers and households through this very difficult period.

But the crisis is far from over. We are in the most severe global recession in a century. Some companies will not survive. Retrenchments and unemployment will go up sharply. A vaccine is at least a year away, and probably longer.

As we sustain our fight against COVID-19, our top priority is jobs. We have mounted a national effort to keep people in work, to help those out of work find replacement jobs, and to create new jobs and traineeships both in the public and private sectors.

Post-COVID-19, the world will be very different. We must build on what we have been doing, to emerge stronger.

We have been preparing for the Future Economy and upgrading Singaporeans through SkillsFuture. We are improving our city and our homes. Whatever your starting point, we will make sure you have access to good education, healthcare and housing, and full opportunities to do well. We will always take care of the vulnerable in our society, leaving no one behind. Through Singapore Together, we are engaging the ideas and energies of our people to make Singapore better.

In the coming months and years, we will face many tough situations and difficult decisions. To see ourselves through safely, we need a capable and committed leadership team, working closely with a resolute and united people, enjoying full trust and confidence in one another.

The Government needs a fresh mandate and a full term ahead of it, to act decisively on your behalf, to partner you in solving our problems, and to fulfil our aspirations too.

This is why I have called the general election now.

The PAP has always worked with you to improve our lives, keep everyone safe, and take Singapore forward.

Now more than ever, our lives, our jobs, our future are all at stake.

Please vote for me and my PAP team. Together, we will overcome COVID-19 and secure a brighter future for ourselves and our children.

Yours Sincerely

PAP Secretary-General
