The East Coast Plan is a political catchphrase that originated from a fumbled speech by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat on Nomination Day of the 2020 General Election. The incident occurred on 30 June 2020 when Heng, who was contesting in East Coast Group Representation Constituency (GRC), repeatedly stumbled over his words while attempting to unveil the People's Action Party's (PAP) electoral manifesto for the constituency.<ref name=":0">The Online Citizen. “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1HmAMiy6OI Throwback to Heng Swee Keat's iconic speech on "East Coast plan" ahead of GE2020]” ''Youtube,'' 1 July, 2021.
