7 reasons to vote for the alternative parties this GE2020 Today, I have taken the time to write about a few points I feel every eligible voter should read and digest before heading to the polls on 10 July.
1. Controlling Mandate
PAP will likely return with a controlling mandate. Even if PAP loses the 5 GRCs (Aljunied, West Coast, Choa Chu Kang, East Coast, Tanjong Pagar for...
Candidate Lee Hsien Loong's False Accusation about Opposition... Candidate Lee Hsien Loong had said in his speech that: "At this moment of danger and alarm, the opposition parties are talking as if we can just keep to our old ways and the crisis did not exist. They showed no recognition that we're facing the crisis of a generation. They've been completely silent on how to tackle Covid-19...
Is this how we want the nation to proceed? I watched with apathy, the constituency political broadcast and in particular, the one on MacPherson. This is notwithstanding how the PAP candidate had delivered her nomination day speech, claiming credit entirely for taking the rapidly ageing estate from ‘third world to first’ when we all know it is not true.
She...
SDP's e-letter to the residents of Holland-Bukit Timah GRC... Dear Residents of Holland-Bukit Timah GRC,
We refer to the letter you received from the PAP. This is our e-letter response.
The PAP is trying to steal this election by deliberately calling an election during the present COVID-19 pandemic.
Since Parliament was dissolved from 23 June until today 7 July, there have...
PAP Government will not fall It is surprising that the possibility of the PAP losing power is still being raised as a factor in this election. I can assure you (and willing to bet a million to one odds) that the PAP will still form the government after the polling day on Jul 10.
It is not a reckless statement or impulsive bet. It is justified and...
Remember the broken promises of the PAP Our CPF is now a national treasure. They shifted the goal post many times to withhold our hard earned savings. Computation now includes inflation rate. This means that the minimum sum will increase every year. We may never be able to utilise our savings even if we get sick.
Good jobs for Singaporeans. Of late, our foreign...
Which ministers should be retired TOP three in my List:
1) Gan Kim Yong
His indecisive decision had cause the the spread of the virus. When first case of virus surfaced in Singapore, many including Goh Meng Seng & Doctors had caution about the virus. They recommended universal masking and practise social distancing.
Instead, Gan had refused...
Ms Raeesah Khan apologises for comment made 2 years ago
My intention was never to cause any social division, but to raise awareness to minority concerns.
I apologise to any racial group or community who have been hurt by my comments. My remarks were insensitive, and I regret making them.
I feel passionate about minority issues, regardless of race, and in my passion,...
Personality and courage Singapore witnessed a surge of reliable and capable alternative candidates at the election this time. They are caring and authentic. Many have awesome quality and qualifications. But what is more important is their availability to speak with a strong spirit for the sake of Singapore.
Fighting for the opposition needs...
Ms Raeesah Khan on her experiences in empowering vulnerable... I was asked about my experiences in empowering vulnerable Singaporeans and realised how much more we need to do together. It starts today.
The Future is Now.

SDP: POFMA from MND The SDP confirms that we have received a Correction Direction under POFMA. We have complied with the order by placing the Correction Notice as specified by MND. However, the conclusions that the alternate authority at the Ministry of National Development arrived at are disputable. Under POFMA, we have to comply with the...
PAP will lose more GRCs - time for change Hello all, now its finally the time for us to decide what kind of government we want soon. I am very happy the opposition has got its game together and field very good candidates. They are no longer fighting with each other, and managed to avoid 3-corner fights mostly. With the excellent performance by Workers Party (WP) in...
Online Hate Spoils Singapore's GE2020
While online campaigning can reach different audience segments, hate speech makes Singapore’s democracy space online unhealthy. It exposes political parties and its electoral candidates to online harassment.
This election highlights the issue and the need to promote a healthy online space.
Hate speech can be...
DPM Heng Swee Keat was at least open and sympathetic to an... I agree with Andrew Loh that it can reasonably be inferred from the ST article below that DPM Heng Swee Keat at his talk on March 2019 was at least open and sympathetic to an eventual 10 million population in Singapore.
As I wrote, this is not only poor economics, but also harmful for real wage growth, wealth and income...
No Blank Cheque? The PAP has said that the NCMP scheme will ensure that they don't have the blank cheque that Jamus Lim talked about. Hmmm...let's consider the facts and have some fun with maths in doing it.
There are now a maximum of 12 NCMPs under the NCMP scheme. There will be 93 fully elected seats in the next Parliament.
So in...
