Yee Jenn Jong, JJ (余振忠)
Politician
Text of my speech yesterday. Proud to introduce to you my team mates, dedicated people who had served alongside myself and many of our volunteers quietly for several years. Here's some extracts to summarise:
"ESM Goh and MSF Minister Tan Chuan-Jin had said that the WP is like a rooster claiming credit that the sun rises each morning because of its crowing. Actually, they are mistaken. The rooster does not crow to make the sun rise. It crows each morning to tell people that, it is morning. It is telling the people, 'Hey, wake up!'"
"You, the brave voters of Singapore, gave them a BIG wake up call in 2011 when for the first time, a GRC, the Aljunied GRC was lost by the PAP. 'Hey, wake up! You have ignored us for too long', you told them. 'Wake up from you sleep and go get the system fixed!'"
"4 and a half years later, by the grand wisdom of a small but powerful committee, Joo Chiat SMC is no more. A wise elder stateman recently said that oppositions are like nomads looking for territories to contest every elections. Well sir, I am no nomad. You didn’t keep Joo Chiat SMC, but hey, nevermind. I am still here!"
"I remember some valuable lessons I had learnt from young; that if someone pushes you around, stand up to the bully and take the fight back to them. Otherwise, they will just keep doing it, again and again."
"This is team Marine Blue, because Marine should be blue, not white! Come September 11, vote the Workers’ Party. Empower your future!"
