[h=2]To PAP: You cheat the Teochews once, they’ll remember YOU for life![/h]

All Singaporeans should know the history of Hougang.
My father and uncles, groomed to take over my grandparents pig/chicken farm ended up with nothing except a roof.
I witnessed how my dad and mum had to work like slaves hopping around with odd jobs, struggled and suffered so much just to feed the family with really humble food to fill up our stomach, and for me and siblings – decent education. Life was really tough that they had almost exhausted whatever options. PAP MP Tang Guan Seng (the MP before WP Low Thia Khiang beat him in 1991 GE) treated my dad and mum like dirt when they went to seek help from him. My mum came back home with tears.
In one of a routine family gathering during weekend, we made a serious discussion to vote for the incumbent just because we wanted lift upgrading for our old ah gong and ah ma.
Both reacted angrily. My ah gong swore he will walk out of the house if he ever knew any of us vote for the white and ah ma threatened to commit suicide by jumping down from our house. Then both educated us that life may be tough but we shall NEVER BOW down. My siblings and I could see the eyes of uncles and aunties swelled…
During both of my grandparents’ funeral, Low Thia Khiang visited at late hours after meet-the-ppl session… and spoke to us.
Throughout the years, all of us grow up to know more of Low Thia Khiang… though he is never able to help hougangers with certain issues but he is NEVER an actor, and NOT for personal glory. and not forgetting what kind of person the PAP has sent to hougang smc…. Heng Chee How, Chiku Low and now BS Choo (he is his own man?!?)
All my uncles and aunties… including my siblings, and most of my cousins either live at hougang smc or aljuined grc now for obvious reason!
Majority of hougang residents are 1st and 2nd generation teochews, formerly pig farmers from punggol. Pappy forcefully took away their land, their only assets, their only livelihood, give them only very little compensation, and then subsequently resold the land at a much much higher price. This is forever stuck in their heart.
The teochews in hougang may be the poorer versions of Li Ka Shing, also a teochew, but they sure share the same business/trader traits. They are not called the ‘Jews of China’ for nothing. Teochews make up only 2% of Chinese but economically, they punch way above their weight.
Teochew people got a lot of pride one. If you notice, they are very ‘tee kee’ stubborn people too. Try to bribe them with million dollar upgrade or abalone porridge? PUI to YOU! You cheat them once they will remember YOU for life.
They have to pay for this atrocity. I hope rest of Singapore wakes up before its too late!
