Some issues cant be exploited forever. The White Paper issue has lost currency, and the organisers ought to have known that rather than flog a dead horse. Either find a new angle or a new issue, and then thrash it well. Why not protest over COE prices? Or the jam-packed trains? Or demand for greater transparency and accountability in the FCF?

On a side note, Dr CSJ and SDP members went to the protest after a party conference I assume to elect a new CEC. Not sure why SDP has always been secretive about its leadership lineup. Wonder if SDP supporters can explain.

The 500 plus turnout may lure the pap into complacency

Dr Chee Soon Juan and a group of SDP members attended the 3rd PWP event at the Hong Lim Park on 5 Oct 2013, after their SDP party conference, in the third hour of the protest.

He was not one of the scheduled speakers, but took the stage to cheers when invited by Mr Gilbert Goh.

Below is a video clip, showing the short impromptu guest speech given by Dr Chee Soon Juan.

The initial anger and adverse reaction has been washed away with time. Singaporeans know they have to move on with their lives.

The smaller turn-out does not mean the TPWP is forgotten. The protest note/message is understood, no need to raise it again. Save it for 2016 and this piece of TPWP will be the bane of PAP come 2016 when sinkies are reminded about it by SDP, WP, etc.
