</TD></TR><TR><TD colSpan=2><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD colSpan=2>"I'm brought up in a culture that questions the status quo!" - Nicole Seah.
"If feel there are people treated unfairly, if I feel there has been an unfair distribution of resources, I want to step in there, be there and be the doer" - Nicole Seah.
When Nicole Seah worked a volunteer delivering food to the old, she found an old lady with a roof over her head but unable to afford food. She provided food to the old lady but asked herself this question - "How will she feed herself tomorrow and in the coming days" . This question led her to ask herself deeper questions surrounding the policies of the PAP govt.
However, if the same question was asked of PM Lee Hsien Loong, Tin Pei Ling or Vivian Bala, they will say "Just ask the old lady to sell her home, and use the money to feed herself" - the PAP has said the income gap is not the responsibility of the govt and Lee Hsien Loong when asked during a forum on how to resolve the retirement problem said that people can go and sell their homes to have money for retirement. That is the status quo that Nicole Seah stands up to fight against. How can it be that Singaporeans, especially the poor ones, spend their whole lives working to pay for their homes only to lose it at the end? This is an injustice designed in the system - CPF money sucked by expensive land sales for HDB flats that eventually ended up in the GIC.
Nicole Seah is my Gen-Y rep. She echoes the sentiment of my generation- a generation that refuse to accept injustice and unfairness in PAP policies. We are not daft. We have awoken to what the PAP has done and what our future will look like if we do nothing. We want to be represented by agents of change such as Nicole Seah.
WAY TO GO NICOLE SEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
