Together with Jamus Lim, we distributed Iftar meals to our muslim seniors at our active ageing centre in #Rivervale yesterday evening.
Thoroughly enjoyed the performances during the short but meaningful session, and it was also great fun singing ‘Seloka Hari Raya’ with our very talented Makciks!

Looking forward to spending more time with our seniors now that Covid restrictions have been largely lifted!
Salam Ramadan semua!

The Workers' Party​

, 2022
This Labour Day will be our third successive one in the COVID-era. Over the last two-and-a-half years, we have seen Singaporeans demonstrate their resilience in adapting to the challenges brought on by the pandemic.
Despite the worst of the pandemic hopefully behind us, the Workers’ Party worries that rising prices will bite ever harder in 2022. Singaporeans, especially lower income workers, are struggling with the increased cost of living arising from the higher prices of utilities, public transport, food and other essential items. For the sandwiched class, these cost rises are eating into precious wage gains, even as they have to support retired parents and their school-going children. They deserve more support.
The Workers’ Party is concerned that the Government’s planned GST hike will exacerbate inflationary pressures. We therefore cannot agree with the Government’s decision to raise the GST. We have put forward in Parliament four alternative levers for raising revenue: adhering to the OECD’s proposed global minimum corporate tax rate, taxing wealth, increasing the reserves contribution and taxing externalities. Each lever on its own can generate more than what a 2% GST hike will. We should exhaust these revenue-raising possibilities before turning to a GST hike.
We repeat our General Election 2020 manifesto calls for the introduction of a national minimum wage, anti-discrimination laws and a redundancy insurance scheme so as to improve outcomes for our workforce and strengthen safety nets. We are glad to note that the Government announced in 2021 that it will require companies hiring foreign workers to pay all their local employees at least the Local Qualifying Salary of $1,400, and will enshrine into law the current workplace anti-discrimination guidelines.
Singaporeans owe a debt of gratitude to the frontline workers in this battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. The Workers’ Party wishes to also express our appreciation to the public officers tasked with executing the new policies and unprecedented measures to help our country weather through the worst of the pandemic.
Last but certainly not least, we thank all caregivers who have to juggle their work with caring for family members at home. They too are essential workers, albeit unpaid and often under-appreciated. We thank them for their loving toil and sacrifice.
This Labour Day, the Workers’ Party renews our commitment to fight for a brighter tomorrow for Singapore and encourages all Singaporeans to take heart as we move forward together in these uncertain times.
Majulah Singapura.
1 May 2022
The Workers’ Party

Jamus and Team Sengkang participated in food distribution events.

Jamus Lim​

This past few weekends, #TeamSengkang had a number of food distribution events across #Anchorvale and #Compassvale, mainly to Muslim residents fasting over the month of Ramadan, as well as to elderly and needy residents living in #SengkangGRC.
Such exercises are a reminder that we are all part of an extended kampong, and when some members in our community are going through experiences that would benefit from support from the rest of us, we can do our part to extend a helping hand. And as prosperous as we are as a nation, there remain households that struggle, and making sure that nobody is left behind—even if it entails some cost to ourselves—is part and parcel of what it means to be one large family.
Thanks to DayCares Singapore and the other donors (who wish to remain anonymous) for their generosity and partnership in securing food items (including yummy Kuih Raya and tasty Bubur Lambuk), and the effort put into planning and logistics. And as usual, our heartfelt appreciation for volunteers that pounded the pavements and corridors as they handed out these packs to residents.

Jamus spent extra time with family.

Jamus Lim​

Like many Singaporeans, we took full advantage of the ultralong weekend to spend extra time with family. We headed out on a Sunday night (such a minor luxury!), to Gardens by the Bay, and caught the evening supertree light show.
As I looked on our daughter being thoroughly captivated by the lights and sounds, and breaking into spontaneous dance, I felt what every parent in that situation undoubtedly would: an overfull heart, with an immense pride in the way she was able to be amazed by the simple magic that still exists in our world. I wish, as we celebrate Eid and the end of Ramadan, that we pause and reflect on things that truly matter. May we continue to discover in ourselves this sense of childlike wonder, in all that we do.
I was also reminded of the intangible things that so many Singaporeans appreciate so much about living here: the fact that we could bring our kid to a crowded place, and be without fear of a kidnapping or mass shooting or racial riot. I know these do not occur by chance, and are the result of deliberate policy, which has bequeathed to us the society we are able to enjoy today. I hope, in my own small way, to contribute toward building on this legacy, for the betterment of all Singaporeans.

Jamus solicits frank feedback.

Jamus Lim​

Yesterday at 11:24 ·
One of the important functions of our house visits and estate walks is to solicit frank feedback on municipal issues, which may be longstanding (and somehow hadn’t been satisfactorily resolved by the town council), or newly-emergent ones (that had not yet been flagged via the usual channels). This past weekend, we covered the 351 (Fields) cluster, before chatting with residents at the nearby 350 coffeeshop (it was a natural follow-up to our house visits at 351D). One resident shared that bees or wasps had appeared to set up shop within one of the block signages; given the risks, we quickly deployed pest control and conservancy staff to address the situation. During our house visits on Thursday, another resident had shared their displeasure about persistent stains at a stairwell at the carpark. The property team then sent out cleaners with a range of chemical treatments to try to better rectify the matter. This Labor Day weekend, it’s possible useful to remind ourselves of all the work that our essential workers put in behind the scenes, and to be thankful for their tireless contributions. #TeamSengkang #SengkangGRC
