East Coast GRC voters, here are details of the PAP and WP teams. Vote wisely.

All eyes are on East Coast GRC tonight.

Martino Tan| September 09, 03:33 PM

The time has come for the voters of East Coast GRC to decide on the trajectory of Singapore politics in the next five years.

Will the opposition continue to make further gains in their parliamentary presence with a four-seats gain in East Coast GRC?

Or will this be a "status quo" election?

This means that the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) will not lose the 4-member East Coast GRC and the leading Opposition Workers' Party (WP) retains its seven parliamentary seats.

Before you vote on Polling Day this Friday, take the cooling-off day (Sep 10, Thursday) tomorrow to assess the four candidates the two parties had to offer you.

We have collated information about the two slates - including the rally speeches by the candidates during the campaign period so far - to help you decide.

The eight candidates will probably speak again in their final GE 2015 rally at the field in front of Blk 155 Simei Road (PAP) and Bedok Stadium (WP) in East Coast GRC.

Below are the two interviews Mothership.sg conducted with the leading personalities of the East Coast GRC team during the election season.
