Aljunied GRC MPs Outreach...

I wish to say that while I am generally an opposition supporter but I am also largely disappointed with the WP and PAP whose sole objective is only to play political games with each other at the expense of residents who are caught in a tug of war. The WP and its supporters who never fail to cry foul are not looking objectively at their own failings either. I can still understand if this was the case with the various government agencies and civil servants victimizing AHPETC but a Supreme Court Judge who is a neutral party is now calling 1 of my MPs a liar, a charge she dare not refute because she knows it is all true, period!
I had initially thought the PAP would do some soul searching and perhaps, repentance too with the loss of my constituency but this has proven not to be the case. I remembered Victor Lie proclaiming to a crowd of PAP conventioneers in 2012 that "the people must perceive they mean something to the PAP and the party must respond by sending in figures that are of "value" to wrest back the ward. But what have we witnessed instead? Dr Koh Poh Koon, Desmond Choo and Ong Ye Kung being transferred to safe wards, leaving unknown newbies to do battle with the incumbents. I feel this will become the turning point for the PAP of Aljunied in that they have lost this ward forever.
Not that the WP can feel comforted it has been doing a great job. On the contrary, they campaigned for a "first world parliament" but ended up mirroring the PAP instead, both in terms of their conservatism and line up. They have fielded graduates who have remained virtually silent on issues of accountability and transparency that matters most to the people. The initial hype leading to GE 2011 of Chen Show Mao has now proven to amount to nothing as he fades into becoming another yes man for party whip LTK and Sylvia. Chen has not spoken much and issues of his estate remains vexing, with no responses to email queries and maintainance/cleanliness remains a constant problem. Sure, Pritam and Sylvia did speak a little at first but were later cowed into submission with Pritam publicly admitting timidity when the ruling PAP clamped down on them. It did not take much effort for the PAP to do so as the WP was literally caught with their pants down.
All eyes are now on the SDP and SFP, equiped with well rounded people who are not afraid to speak up, have clear plans on estate management and running the economy as well. I can only hope that the people of Sembawang, Holland Bt Timah and Bt Panjang will give them a chance to enter parliament and take Khaw Boon Wan and Vivian to task for arrogance and lapses in their ministries. As for us at Aljunied, we have paid the ultimate price for 'democracy' which is as good as having no voice in parliament with the WP voting in harmony with PAP on most issues.

Pritam Singh
My community volunteers have organised monthly tea sessions with our residents on the last Saturday of every month starting from 9am, right after our monthly walk-to-bond activity for our seniors, for a number of years already. Like previous sessions, residents commonly ask about the Home Improvement Programme (the Town Council successfully nominated Blk 611-618 and Blk 101-109 this year), medical claims/costs, with many unsure of the details and reasoning behind specific policies and subsidy thresholds etc.
But one resident today (God bless him!) came up to me and said, "Mr Singh, I always try to come to the tea session because I like the teh tarik!"
We had a hearty laugh and I proceeded to recount the history of how one Eunos resident supplies a whole insulator of teh tarik at every 'tea with pritam' session. About slightly more than 2 years ago, I attended an event at the neighbourhood Masjid Alkaff Kampung Melayu where I was served with what I thought was the best teh tarik I had ever consumed. A committee member confirmed with me that the teh tarik was donated by a congregant who happened to be a resident of Eunos. One thing led to another, and without fail, we serve great teh tarik at each tea with pritam session (no tarik for obvious reasons but kurang manis for good measure) which usually finishes before everything else does....

At the Xian Sheng Tan temple dinner at Blk 146, Bedok Reservoir Road. Always a pleasure to meet our residents and Singaporeans from slightly further afar!

I am quite pleased to see how Eunos Spring at Bedok Reservoir Road is being transformed. Re-roofing is completed, the NRP is construction works are almost finishing - barring the Blk 125 adventure park, additional landscaping works and some linkways/drop-off points - and painting is in full swing. I would like to thank all residents for their feedback and ask for your understanding if we have not been able to check all the boxes due to competing considerations and budget requirements. There is still some work to be done, specifically NRP block works and the AHPETC's goal of making this estate barrier-free compliant for our elderly residents. But, we will get there in due course.

Swissbank support Workers' Party in all Constituencies to be contested.
Although WP had been silent inside parliament, swissbank want to see more opposition parties been elected.
Swissbank hope WP be more vocal to contfront PAP when more opposition members are voted in parliament.
NSP, please no 3-corners fight, WP is now the branded opposition party.
Swissbank predicted WP can win Marine Parade GRC by a nose if is a straight fight and Wooden will be shame to retire as a loser.
Is this what the opposition supporters want to see ????
WP, please deploy three A-stars players to fight in Marine Parade GRC.
Swissbank will give WP full support in GE15 !
Cheers !!!!
