With Chinese New Year celebrations just wrapped up, the annual festivities come to an end. Now is as good at time as any for us to pause for a moment, take stock, count our blessings, and think about what we can do -- be it something large or small -- for fellow Singaporeans.


It is with heartfelt thanks that we look back upon the generosity of those who came forward to give generously to the donation drive organised by the Youth Wing and The Workers' Party Volunteer Network at the start of the festive period to collect much needed items for a local home for the disabled.


Together with Sylvia Lim, WP volunteers and members including Ron Tan Jun Yen 陈俊元, He Ting Ru 何廷儒 and Terence Tan 陈励正 visited the home to deliver the donations we collected. We were extremely honoured to be taken on a tour of the beautiful grounds after meeting various staff and residents of the home.

Particular highlights were the peek into the hydroponic gardens (which often produces enough surplus to supply local supermarkets!) and listening to the stories of residents who met, fell in love, and subsequently lived happily ever after after getting married.


We hope to be able to do more of activities of this nature, particularly on home ground, so do get in touch with us with any ideas and suggestions!

"The Women’s Charter... is in need of a bold revision that would do justice to its core principles of gender equality and parental responsibility. The measures in this Bill try to do this, which is reason for me to support it, but they do not go far enough."

"With a rising senior citizen population and constant reminders in the press about how Singaporeans do not plan well for retirement, the Ministry should step up its efforts to constantly inform home owners of the benefits of the scheme every few years...and seriously look at including Singaporeans with pre-existing illnesses to improve the scheme further."

[URL="https://www.facebook.com/dennistanlipfong/"]Dennis Tan Lip Fong 陈立峰, on the limitations of the CPF (Amendment) Bill.
"it seems to me from a plain reading of the amendment bill that the only situations where a member can make a claim under the Scheme for terminal illness and total permanent disability, even though the member is not incapacitated from ever continuing in any employment are if (1) the member is suffering from terminal illness and is said by a registered medical practitioner to be expected to result in death within 12 months or (2) the member has suffered total or permanent disability of less than two eyes, two limbs or one eye and one limb. The scenarios seem rather limited."

"I would like to ask if the MAS will provide banks with guidelines that it will use to determine what constitutes a transaction or exposure that could be potentially terminated by the MAS and what constitutes a notifiable material development. Will the MAS, for instance, be publishing a guidance document on how it will operationalize these powers, similar to the guidance published on anti-money laundering and terrorism finance in 2015 and private banking controls in 2014."
