GE 2020: The Battleground Nee Soon GRC (PAP Vs PSP)

Having shared the respective parties manifesto for the country, the next part of the segment will turn our focus to the GRC they are contesting in. What are the plans they have for the GRC for the next 5 years? 

PAP

There are more exciting plans for Nee Soon:
  • A polyclinic near Khatib MRT
  • Yishun Link Community Club
  • Upgrading of Yishun Sports Hall and Swimming Complex: 2 covered tennis courts, a new cafeteria, an air-conditioned table tennis area, bigger dance studio and bigger gym
  • Sports parks in Chong Pang and Nee Soon Central
  • Chye Kay Village Heritage Garden in Nee Soon East
  • Upgraded Nee Soon South Community Club
  • New park at Khatib Vale and rejuvenated Nee Soon South N8 park
  • More routes to town with the Thomson-East Coast Line and North-South Corridor
  • Home Improvement Programme for more homes
  • New park at Khatib Bongsu
  • More cycling paths
  • Community farm in the Heartlands

They have actually come out with a manifesto for Nee Soon GRC! If I am to nick pick, amidst the worst recession Singapore has ever faced, some of the upgrading works for the CC should be reviewed, such as upgrading of Nee Soon South CC as the building still look new. While I fully agree that upgrading works for Yishun Sports Hall and Swimming Complex should proceed as the buildings are really old. Do we need so many new parks? I will agree for the new park at Khatib Bongsu to preserve our mangrove reserve, but for Khatib Vale and rejuvenation of Nee Soon South N8 park....I wonder if the money can be better deployed somewhere else?

Total Score: 10.0/12.0 (83% approval)
