IMPROVING MP-TO-VOTER RATIO

We applaud the smaller four-member GRCs, as it hopefully means a higher MP-to-voter ratio. But this needs to be matched with quality MPs who have the trust and hearts of their constituencies. - DEMOCRATIC PROGRESSIVE PARTY SECRETARY-GENERAL BENJAMIN PWEE, on the increase in four-member GRCs (from two to six)

FOCUSING ON A FEW CONSTITUENCIES

It's not our objective to field the most candidates for this round. We would prefer to focus on two or three GRCs - Chua Chu Kang, Marine Parade and Tampines... For us, we still prefer five-member GRCs. We have the manpower. - NATIONAL SOLIDARITY PARTY'S PRESIDENT SEBASTIAN TEO, on allocating resources for the next election

EAGER TO SERVE MOUNTBATTEN

I am keen to serve Mountbatten residents and I'm ready to contest in Mountbatten, regardless of who decides to contest here. - SINGAPORE PEOPLE'S PARTY MEMBER JEANNETTE CHONG-ARULDOSS, on the single-seat constituency where she also stood in 2011, but as a National Solidarity Party candidate
