The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) was forced to take down 50 of its West Coast GRC campaign posters by the Town Council.

In a Facebook post on Thursday night (2 July), the party wrote, “Hours of hard work went down the drain. It was puzzling because the PAP posters were left untouched.”

“We appreciate the support and concern of passers-by who said they would post photos and videos of the incident online.”

The party said it is hoping to clarify the matter and provide an update.

In an update at 11.17 pm, the party wrote that it is still checking the situation and urged the public to “please keep the conversation civil”, and reassured them that they will provide an update when they have the “full facts”.

Another update at 8.14 am on 3 July noted that the party is in touch with the Elections Department and “will provide a time line of events shortly”.

The Facebook post included a short video showing one of the posters being taken down.

选区划分检讨委会成立 毕丹星处之泰然

随着选举局在昨日宣布,总理已召开选区检讨委员会,朝野政党打起十二分精神,坊间也奔走相告。工人党秘书长毕丹星表示,自己昨晚还没开始访问居民,就一直收到居民和支持者转告此消息。 毕丹星昨晚分享一则脸书贴文,打着“冷静,继续前行”的标题,似乎体现自己对选举局的公布不感到惊讶,尽管这意味着选举蛩音近,惟他仍继续做好服务选民的工作。 他在帖文中不忘揶揄,有趣的是选举局似乎也没有说明,上述委会是在八月的什么时候召开? 事实上,毕丹星此前已经两次在国会询问委员会是否已成立?第一次是在今年3月1日,第二次在今年7月。 他曾质问,为何不在上述委会成立后政府自行作出宣布,但贸工部长陈振声则代总理回答,惯例是让委会专业地进行工作,不受不必要媒体关注或公共压力影响。 在2006年和2011年,选区范围检讨委会用了四个月时间提交报告。但在2015年,从委会公布新的选区地图,到9月1日的提名日,只有39天。 帖文中毕丹星也描绘和选民之间的情谊,有84虽但心态年轻、人见人爱的朱女士;有一家聚餐从不看手机诚意交谈的家庭;也有服役34年的退休警察,在1981年安顺补选期间,驻扎在皇后镇,回忆那个时候的热烈情况。相信他也见证了反对党强人暨工人党前秘书长惹耶勒南当选。 毕丹星说,自己拜访选区时,自己的妻女都在耐心等候,“就像我拜访的那些家庭一样,来自我家人的爱,促使我继续前行–管他选举是在今年还是来年!”
