The ruling People's Action Party in Singapore has won the election with an overwhelming majority, and the main issues focused on during this election were the cost of living and the future economic stability of the country. This is the first time Prime Minister Wong Chun Peng has led the election campaign since becoming the party leader last year, and ultimately, the People's Action Party secured 65.6% of the votes, winning an overwhelming majority of seats in the 97-seat parliament. On Saturday, Singaporeans went to vote with concerns over inflation, stagnant wages, and employment prospects. The results of this election were widely seen as a vote of confidence in the People's Action Party as a "safe" choice amid global political turbulence. The center-right People's Action Party has been in continuous power since 1959, making it one of the longest-ruling parties in the world. It enjoys strong support from Singaporeans, particularly from older generations who have witnessed the prosperity of the country under its rule. Commenting on this: The overwhelming victory of the ruling People's Action Party in Singapore's recent election was due to multiple deep-seated reasons. From an economic perspective, Singapore, as a highly trade-dependent economy, saw voters prefer a party with rich experience and stable governance capabilities to ensure national economic stability in the face of global turmoil and increased economic uncertainty. The People's Action Party's long-term governance since 1959, along with its past achievements in leading Singapore to economic success and transforming it into a major financial and trade hub, made voters believe that it was better equipped to handle today’s complex economic challenges, such as potential trade protectionism impacts and maintaining financial stability. Although Singapore currently faces issues like inflation, stagnant wages, and uncertain job prospects, the People's Action Party has previously alleviated public pressure by distributing cash and vouchers worth billions of Singapore dollars to help citizens cope with rising prices. Policies introduced before the election, such as child care subsidies, housing allowances, and living assistance, further enhanced public confidence in the party to some extent. In terms of political stability, the People's Action Party's long-term governance has created a relatively stable domestic political environment, providing a solid foundation for national development. Compared to opposition parties, the People's Action Party has a more complete governance system and extensive governing experience, showcasing stronger execution and decision-making capabilities in handling domestic and international affairs and formulating national policies. In today's complex and ever-changing international landscape, voters do not want policy fluctuations or political instability caused by a change in government, so they view the People's Action Party as a "safe" option. Analyzing leadership factors, Prime Minister Wong Chun Peng is steady and low-key, skilled at listening to public opinion, and has a friendly image. Since becoming party leader in 2024, he has continued the tone of "stability first," with minimal changes in cabinet members, ensuring policy continuity and projecting a "steady and reliable" image, earning significant support for the People's Action Party. Additionally, the party's strategic adjustments targeting young voters have proven effective. Introducing over 30 new candidates, with 60% being millennials and more than 1/3 being women, closely addressing young voters' demands for employment and housing, expanding skills training subsidies, and promising increased public housing supply, helps overcome generational disadvantages and attract younger voters. Overall, this election result reflects the choice made by Singaporean voters after weighing national development and personal interests. However, the People's Action Party still faces numerous challenges after winning the general election, such as how to effectively address inflation, raise wage levels, and improve employment conditions to genuinely respond to voters' livelihood concerns; how to continue innovating and optimizing governance concepts and methods in the long-term governance context to maintain political vitality and appeal to the public; and how to better continue the diplomatic balance strategy amidst increasing great power competition to safeguard national interests.
