Break a leg! The next nine days are going to be so withering and will test your mettle as a serious politician. Show us and the PAP what you’re made of by showing true sportsmanship, something the PAP is incapable of. We hunger for change and cannot stomach another five years of broken record PAP BS. Don’t let us down. Godspeed!
SINGAPOREANS FOR CHANGE

dear Mr Giam and team, while i sincerely wish you and your team all the best, i am currently more perturbed by a smaller but still significant issue.
try as i may, i couldn’t find any map which clearly delineates the electoral boundaries. short of obtaining the I/C and issue dates of my friends around Hougang, it seems i can’t really tell who’s in Aljunied GRC or Punggol-Pasir Ris GRC (i’m assuming the boundaries for Hougang SMC is the same Ave7-Ave5-UppSerRd).
could you kindly direct me to any link which can clearly delineate the electoral boundaries? i would like to know with some precision where the lines are drawn. i believe this to be reasonable for a voter to ask.
thank you and God bless you.

Hi Mr Giam,
I am a resident of Bedok, belonging to East Coast GRC, and a first-time voter. My family and I are very interested to attend WP’s rallies for East Coast and would like to know when they will start. I’ve searched the WP website for info but it only states that there will be a rally at Hougang and Aljunied. Pls do advise.
Thanks!

Hi Mr Giam,
I am from East Coast GRC. I wish WP all the best. I will support the team. Hopefully, there will be a rally in the East Coast area! all the best! I totally agree with the statement made by Eric Tan below.
Taken from TODAYonline:
Asked how he would rate the WP’s chances, Mr Tan said: “I do not want to speculate on the outcome but I know people want more checks and balances, they want more Opposition voices in Parliament.”

Dear Mr Giam,
I would also like to highlight things that are important to me. I am not interested in lift upgrading or upgrading of the Bedok market. Nor am I interested in how many more MRT stations there are gonna be or if there is a Univ in the east of Singapore. I understand that these are important to some, but I am more interested, like many of my peers, in things such as work-life balance. This is the way forward to boost our population. It has to be a long-term plan. Working mother’s should be given more options such as working from home. And the issue with foreigners. We are not concerned by the blue collar workers who have been here for many decades, but more about the new PRs-PRCs, NRIs and everthing else in between, Vietnamese, Myanmarese etc- who are replacing Singaporeans. Priority MUST be given to Singaporeans in middle and upper management jobs. We need to make Singapore more liveable, less crowded.

All the best Gerald! I really really hope to see you in Parliament and see WP take down some GRCs, esp Aljunied. =))

Hi Gerald,
The dawn has come, the change is coming. I am from Nee Soon GRC. Words can hardly decribe how touched I am when I know that Mr Low is contesting in Aljunied GRC. He is doing this not for himself but for the people of Singapore. I am not interested in estate upgrading offered by the MIW. Election is not about upgrading.Thank you Gerald, Mr Low Thia Khiang and WP. You all are the heros of Singapore!!!

Hi Gerald
I am from East Coast GRC, I wish to know if who is your team will be in charge of the respective districts if your team is elected.
To Joanna
There should be a rally in Bedok Stadium today from 7pm to 10pm. 30 April

Hi Gerald & Team
We’re now zoned under the East Coast GRC and the residents at Loyang Valley would like to know if the future plans/promises that WP has in mind would include our neighbourhood/estate.
We have been neglected all this while. Our Coucil Committee had brought up the bad traffic conjestion issue to LTA over these years, the fatal accident-prone area right in front of our estate, the unavailability SBS service from/to Pasir Ris Central/MRT after 7:45pm on weekdays and whole of Sundays/Public Holidays.
Concerned Voter.

You ought to actually think about working on creating this blog into a serious authority on this subject. You evidently have a grasp of the subjects everyone seems to be looking for on this site anyhow and you might even make some money off of some affiliate products. Just a thought, good luck in whatever you do!

I am contemplating starting a whole new blog in the same category.
