Written by Our Correspondent
A video clip exhorting Singaporeans to vote for change in the next general election by famous online film-maker Wendy Neo has garnered more than 8,000 views within a few days of publication.
Wendy Neo is famous for the production of videos critical of the PAP. She wrote on her Youtube profile that she is currently an undergraduate in Perth and will become an Australian citizen after she turned 21 years of age.
The title of her latest video is: ¡°Singapore General Election 2010 мÓÆ´óÑ¡: BERUBAH ¸Ä±ä மாற்றம் CHANGE¡±:
The video began with a summary of proposed changes in policy such as a minimum wage system, first world salary for Singaporeans, increased healthcare subsidy and retirement for the elderly followed by snapshots of the main opposition leaders in Singapore.
The middle portion of the video clip showed an elderly lady picking cardboards for a living with a background voice saying in mandarin:
¡°For the past forty years, I have been voting for the Foreigner Action Party (PAP) and this is what I get in return. How did things turn out this way? What happened? Now they say I am old and useless and want to dump me at JB for me to die overseas. My fellow Singaporeans, please save me which is also saving yourselves. Please remember: what happened to me now will happen to you one day.¡±
The clip then showed photos of PAP MPs enjoying themselves and urged Singaporeans not to give up their opportunity for change.
Though the video clip lasted only less than 3 minutes, the message is clear and concise: vote for change and vote out the PAP!
The opposition should make use of such video clips as part of their electoral campaign to get their message out to Singaporeans. To ensure that they are influenced to vote against the PAP, they must play on their emotions ¨C their fears, anxieties, worries, anger, frustration, resentment and angst.
Contrary to what the PAP would like us to believe, politics is all about emotions. The opposition must capitalize on the groundswell of dissatisfaction, unhappiness and disgruntlement against the PAP and utilize it to its benefit.
Netizens can help by:
1. Sharing the video clip with your relatives from the older generation who do not surf the internet.
2. Forward the video link to all your friends and colleagues or by embedding the video on your blogs.
3. Download and burn the video clip to CDs and distribute them to the residents living in your block.
If each of us were to do our part right now, our combined efforts will soon snowball into a massive grassroots movement to advocate for change in the coming election.
