00:00First, Hang Mokyo remains a five-member GRC.
00:08We are refreshing the PAP team.
00:11Our candidates will be me, Jasmine Lau, Victor Lai, Daryl David and Nadia Samdin.
00:19Daryl, Nadia and I are seeking re-election.
00:22We have done our best to improve Hang Mokyo and to serve the residents over the years.
00:27And we ask for your continued support in this election so that we can continue to do so.
00:33Joining the three of us will be Jasmine Lau and Victor Lai.
00:37I am very grateful to Ling Ling and Tiampo for their many contributions over the past years.
00:42They have put their heart and soul into serving residents.
00:46They have helped to build a better Hang Mokyo.
00:48And on behalf of the residents and the party, I thank them all from the bottom of my heart.
00:53My team and I are committed to continuing to serve Hang Mokyo and the residents to the best of our ability.
00:59Some of us, like myself, have served residents here for decades.
01:04Some, not quite as long but still five, ten years at least.
01:08Some of us are just joining the team but will bring fresh ideas and energy to do good for Hang Mokyo.
01:14Over the years, we have spoken up on many national issues in Parliament, contributed to robust debate and improvements in government policy.
01:26The BAP team has also been busy on the ground, working closely with residents to improve lives.
01:33We have pushed the government to attend to the needs of our voters.
01:37We have steadily improved the estate and the amenities with government support.
01:42We have upgraded the flats and the lifts, built new CCs and parks, refreshed the markets and hawker centres,
01:49opened new MRT stations and lines, expanded bus services and built a caring community.
01:58Our party branches and town councils launched many programmes and projects of our own to help residents cope with the cost of living,
02:06and to take care of the vulnerable, the elderly, the families with young children.
02:11We have made Hang Mokyo a happy place and a good place to live.
02:16We have set out in a master plan what we have done over the past five years, as well as clear plans on what more we intend to do if we are elected again.
02:28We have put out a pamphlet which we have distributed to residents, one heart, one home, of what we have done and what we will be doing down the road.
02:40We have also set some of these out in the manifesto of the Hang Mokyo BAP team.
02:47Both of these, if there is a QR code here, can be found online.
02:54I urge all residents to take a look at them.
02:58So I hope voters in Hang Mokyo GRC and in the SMCs in our family will give us their mandate again,
03:07so that we can work closely once again to make this an outstanding town to live, work and play in.
