We don’t have a helper at home (although we do have someone come in every couple of weeks to clean), so it makes our lives much easier if we tidy up as we go along. A similar logic applies, I believe, to cleaning up after ourselves within our estates.
With the reversion back into a stricter Phase 2, one of the few #SengkangGRC activities we are able to do is a scaled-down version of our estate walk. So we bundled this week’s walk with a little litter clearing, in honor of #CleanSG month. It gave enough of an excuse to round off the exercise with my favorite #Anchorvale 303 char kway teow (need to replace those lost calories!). #TeamSengkang

Workers’ Party’s video message to Singaporeans: We’re all in this together
View attachment 111857
Singapore—The Workers’ Party released a video message on its Facebook page on Tuesday (May 25), touching on the country’s Covid-19 situation.
The video begins with the words, “We’re all in this together.”
The caption reads, “The Covid pandemic and this period of restrictions have imposed hardship on many of us. Here’s a message from the Workers’ Party on the values and ideals we need to hold close to our hearts during this difficult time.”
Noticeably, it’s mainly the younger members of the party who take front and centre in the messaging—both those who won seats in Parliament in last July’s general election, as well as the party’s rising stars.
The video begins with Dr Jamus Lim (Sengkang GRC), who talks about Singapore having recently moved to Phase 2 (Heightened Alert), “as we address the leakage of cases in our community”.
Two-term MP Dennis Tan comes next (Hougang SMC), calling the present situation “a key moment for us all: for governments, businesses and individuals.”
“We must pull together to plug the gaps and address any deficiencies,” he adds. “We must work together to combat this difficult enemy.”
He is followed by lawyer He Ting Ru, (Sengkang GRC), standing at a playground where two young boys are running around. Ms He encourages everyone to, “as a country…be kind to one another.”
Mr Kenneth Foo, who is often seen co-leading the Workers’ Party’s on-ground activities at East Coast, asks for empathy for those who are “paying a price during this time”.
Ms Raeesah Khan (Sengkang GRC) expresses the same feeling, holding her baby girl, born in early January, in her arms. Ms Khan says that “women, in particular, have been affected” by the pandemic, and “have had to take on multiple roles”.
WP politician Nicole Seah, who is also active at East Coast GRC, picks up from where Ms Khan left off. With her young daughter sitting on her lap, Ms Seah points out that many women have had to juggle their children’s home-based learning, work, and housekeeping.
Mr Louis Chua (Sengkang GRC) ends the video, saying no one knows how long the pandemic will last.
“And that is why as a community, we must remain focused on the present challenge of tackling the pandemic and build back better for all fellow Singaporeans,” he says.
