A Battle of Wills in Jurong Central

The electoral face-off is set for Nomination Day on April 23, and if Emily has her way, she’ll bring a refreshing perspective to the race.

Tackling Local Issues Head-On

One of Emily's key focuses will be addressing the pressing littering issues plaguing the SMC. "I want Singaporeans to feel like they are number one in their own country," she declared, emphasizing her commitment to creating a fairer society that prioritizes local residents.

Education as a Equalizer

According to RDU, Emily is passionate about education—not merely as a privilege, but as a great equalizer for all. She advocates for smaller class sizes to bridge educational gaps and champions fair employment opportunities for seniors, ensuring no one willing to work gets left behind.

Jurong Central: A Crucial Battleground

With a voter base of 29,620, Jurong Central is among the six newly formed SMCs following a recent electoral boundary review aimed at better accommodating Singapore’s growing population. This ward has emerged from the reconfiguration of Jurong GRC, making it a vital area for both parties.
