人民行动党最近刚介绍了27名准候选人。不过,有网民嘲讽,这些准候选人看起来好像都来自“同一类”,不是出身军伍、不然就是公务员、医生或律师等等,和原行动党议员似乎都来自同一群体。

对此行动党第二助理秘书长、贸工部长陈振声则表示,民众不必依据新人的职业,就为他们归类“贴标签”(英语原意pigeonhole),再者应考量该党整体93名准候选人,实则都来自不同领域。

他指出,有者出身商界、社会领域、公共服务领域等,“所以我们可以说涵盖了各界。”

他说,人们应该避免根据这些新人的职业,来武断地标签他们。陈振声称,与其因为他们来自特定背景,就为他们贴标签,他认为实则新人们都有各自的个性值得人们去了解。

当被询及行动党缺乏印裔候选人,陈振声则表示,该党有九名印裔准候选人,其中六人还是政治职务者。
