  1. Follow-up: PM Lawrence Wong tells PAP conference government will tackle living costs and jobs this term; CEC slate adds 3 new faces

    At the biennial People's Action Party conference at the Singapore Expo on Sunday, Oct 25, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong told about 3,000 members that in the coming years the government would continue to ease cost-of-living pressures, help Singaporeans secure better jobs and strengthen support across life stages from education to retirement, including for those who hit setbacks. He noted that after the National Day Rally package for families with children in August, some had asked what support other groups would receive. The Straits Times reported that the recommended slate of 19 for the Central Executive Committee election that day included three new faces: the transport minister, the acting manpower minister and the acting minister-in-charge of Muslim affairs, two of whom first entered parliament only at last year's general election — named in the paper as Jeffrey Siow and Jasmin Lau among the new ministers.
