Overall I am satisfied with the outcome of this election. We have a clear mandate and the results show broad-based support for the People's Action Party. I will use this mandate responsibly to deal with COVID-19 and the economic downturn, and to take us safely through the crisis, and beyond.
At the same time, the results reflect the pain and uncertainty that Singaporeans feel in this crisis. This was not a feel-good election, but one where people are facing real problems, and expect more rough weather to come. There were also real concerns raised during the campaign that we must address.
I congratulate the Workers’ Party for their strong performance. I look forward to them participating in and contributing to the debate in Parliament, and to the national debate, as we deal with the urgent issues before us.
My thanks to our PAP activists and candidates for your dedication, loyalty and hard work. Thank you also to all public officers mobilised for election duties, who ensured that Singaporeans could vote safely during this unprecedented GE. Finally, thank you to all voters for your patience and understanding. My team will continue to serve Singaporeans, whichever party you voted for.
The work of the new government begins today. My government will work with all Singaporeans to overcome our challenges and emerge stronger. With this election behind us, let us now work as one Singapore, to secure Our Lives, Our Jobs, Our Future.
