02.05.11 - Workers' Party Rally - Moulmein-Kallang GRC rally At Kallang Ave
Jennifer say:
02.05.11 (Mon): Today rally is at Kallang Ave. At first, most of us thought the open field was at the field near ICA. But the field is in fact near Kallang MRT instead, also a short 5-10 walking distance from ICA field area. We took bus 107 there and arrived at 7.05pm. The crowd was not fully in yet so mum and I were able to stand 4-5 rows just behind the last row of seating audience. Then We somehow managed to move inward till we find a space for both of us to sit down.
Today rally covered on why ppl should vote for WP? Agreed strongly that the ruling party need to feel the presence of opposition in the parliament in order to address citizens hardship in a better position. For eg, WP was asking about the high cost of HDB flat. Finally there was talks for more CPF rebate to be given but i somehow duno and suspect this will be a long way to take place or it will never happen at all.
I am very glad to listen to Mr Chen Show Man speech today - he is a fatherly figure, i love his speeches. Mr Chen said our goal is now further and further away from us, and we had to keep drifting ourselves from the FT that keep coming in. Beside Mr Low and Ms Lim, i salute Mr Chen too.

01.05.11 - Workers' Party Rally - Nee Soon GRC At Yishun Stadium
Jennifer say:
01.05.11(Sun): Today went to Day 4 of Workers' Party Rally. We were very early today. After buying Macs for dinner, we took our dinner to the stadium. We arrived at 5.15pm. When We arrived, i went to buy my WP umbrella - a very sweet baby blue that shelter me from rain.
Love Mr Low speech - everything he said was so accurate esp the statement: 给你一只鸡腿， 要你还整只鸡. Today speech focus on CPF, high medical cost. Mr Low touched on How PAP try to put WP down by asking Chen Show Man to go back to China when Mr Chen is a 100% Singaporean if WP lose the hot ward, Aljunied GRC.
Ms Lim covered on CPF and GRC. Ms Lim said our govt had revise the min amt to $150,000 you need to put in ur CPF. So if you do not have $150,000 , you can only withdraw $5000 when you are the age of 55. So that meant you cannot retire, must work and work till 67.
There is a Nee Soon GRC candidate Li Lian that said something that is very impressive: "We should have General Election every year, only when the election came on do we feel better care of". Very good statement.. strongly agree with this statement coz look at what our ruling party offer prior to the polling date: GST will not increase over the next 5 years (subject to other prices increase as mentioned by Mr Low), upgrading for this ward, lift for certain blocks... and carrots for everyone of us singaporeans.
A fb friend of mine asked if rally really fun. I answered: "Not say fun, very connected to WP at Heart". WP mentioned issues that touched on normal citizens hearts. Only the average singaporeans that earn a moderate amt of money can be connected to WP. The super rich that live in private area i feel can never feel what WP said to be true coz they had never suffer hardship for their whole lives.
Speech that touched on the hearts of the average singaporeans are also the ones that win the most audience at rally and hopefully at polling date, 7.05.11. Speech that speak for the sake of speaking without addressing or without even dare to address to the source of the reason for unhappiness will see their report cards been marked by their citiznes teachers on polling day.
Lee LiLian is a very strong speaker
Crowd at 6 plus
Crowd at 7 pm
Crowd at 8 pm made the whole stadium full to the max
When we went home, the Nee Soon RC getai was still going on - Zhang Jia Ling was singing
I WILL NOT attend any RC event that allow man in white to brainwash us

30.04.11 - Workers' Party Rally - East Coast GRC At Bedok Stadium
Jennifer say:
30.04.11 (Sat): Attended Day 3 of WP rally. I am really by now 100% attached to the rally by WP. Actually had intended to go Reform party rally tml(1.5.11) at YCK stadium but at the current moment, i had decided to change my mind. Decided to go to Day 4 of WP rally at Yishun Stadium tml.
Today I am very early. I reached there at around 620 after my dinner at Bedok hawker centre. Mum went with me today. Both of us get a seat at the stairs area right at the top of the stadium seats. It is amazing to see the crowd grow to the max by near 8 pm.
Today rally touched on the two points: Our votes are secret, what type of government citizens should expect - this is covered by Ms Lim. Mr Low touched on the Drivers analogy and the unfairness opposition party were treated for similar functions. Other East Coast GRC candidates covered on the high HDB prices where ppl had to work till old old with little saving left when the time come for your CPF money to be returned back to you. THIS IS A SAD REALITY - I had a strong feel it will happen to me. So It is time to choose wisely or regret 40 years down the road.

29.04.11 - Workers' Party Rally - Alijunied GRC At Serangoon Stadium
Jennifer say:
29.04.11 (Fri): I super on.. went alone to WP rally at Serangoon Stadium. In fact, yesterday at hougang, i also alone. BUT i am super high on both days. Keep clapping my hands loud and occasionally scream "Workers' Party" and screaming answers in the air.
In most of my growing life, i had never been so passionate at politics. I think i am brain washed by the ruling party for too long. I am not sure why this election matter so much to me. I think what the opposition party had mentioned before the election had awake the sleeping mind at my heart.
Today rally touch on a different set of issues: Whether ur votes are confidential and Whether Aljunied voters should support WP or PAP. Ms Sylvia Lim and Mr Low gave a very good speech of both two issues. Alijunied GRC voters, it is time to choose wisely or regret for the rest of the 5 years.
To touch on more on how ur votes are secret, just a summary of Mr Low and Ms Lim speech. The serial number of our poll are to ensure each of us only vote once only and the number is to identity voters. At the end of the election timing, the civil servants and opposition party members will count the votes. Once the votes are counted, the box will be sealed. The parties then need to sign on the box. The box are sealed for 6 months before they are finally burned once 6 months period passed.. Your votes are secret, Do not be afraid to vote for opposition party. If WP is contesting in ur GRC, support Workers' Party.
At the stadium
Ms Lim gave a wonderful speech that touches on the two issues of how your votes are make secret
After the rally, there were heavy human jams. We got traffic uncles to direct us to cross the road and also to openly cross the cross junction of the road.. wow...

WP Rally at Hougang Blk 837 on 28.04.11 news articles in the website
Jennifer say:
SINGAPORE: At his party's first rally, Workers' Party (WP) secretary-general Low Thia Khiang responded on Thursday night to the driving analogy that has been used by the People's Action Party to describe the WP's role in Parliament.
Dismissing the PAP's accusation that the WP is tussling for the steering wheel, Low said that it was the "usual PAP tactic of threatening the people about the consequences of voting for the Opposition".
Said Mr Low: "Bear in mind that just putting on a safety belt and hope that the driver will drive you to your destination is not enough. A co-driver is essential, especially as road gets tougher to navigate. The co-driver is there to slap the driver when he drives off course or when he falls asleep or drives dangerously,"
The premise of Mr Low's speech, which he delivered in English, Mandarin and Teochew, was the need for more Opposition voices in Parliament to represent Singaporeans and to ensure that policies are not "bulldozed through".
He said: "Even though we are economically more advanced, we are not truly a First World country unless Singapore matures as a democracy … Unless we have checks and balances in our political system, we cannot claim to be a First World country."
Mr Low also spoke on the issue of highly-priced HDB flats and refuted National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan's statement that HDB flats are affordable and that a young couple do not need to save for a down payment and that the monthly payments are minimal.
"Even if we were to accept that this is true, he forgot to say that they will need to pay for their flat for 20 to 25 years. This means they can only start saving for their old age in their 40s and 50s, so most people have to work to their graves as they cannot afford to retire," said Mr Low.
Another of the party's candidates in Aljunied GRC, Mr Chen Show Mao, who addressed the crowd in Malay, Mandarin and English with smatterings of Tamil and Hokkien, focused on foreign workers and ministerial salaries.
Said Mr Chen: "I ask you, every year, Singapore lets in thousands of foreign workers. How much is enough? Did they ask you? The Singapore Government pays one minister hundreds of thousands (in salary) a year? How much is enough? Did they ask you?"
He also broached the issue of income disparity. Citing figures, he said that the average monthly household income per household member is S$354 last year for the bottom 10 per cent of employed households, compared to S$340 in 2008.
Said Mr Chen: "Their income has clearly failed to grow at the same pace as our GDP (Gross Domestic Product) ... It's not just for bottom 10 per cent and bottom 20 per cent, you can say the same about our median household - that's the income of half of our households over the last five, 10 years." He said the GDP growth "went to corporate profits and wage income for top earners".
"So, in this environment, is it not fair for the WP ask that prices of new HDB flats be pegged to the incomes of eligible households? Is it not fair for the WP to ask for the Workfare Income Supplement to be benchmarked against increases in cost of living? Is it not fair for the WP to ask for an unemployment insurance scheme for our unemployed workers?" he asked.
The party's chairman, Miss Sylvia Lim, took issue with the "upgrading carrots and threats".
She said: "The PAP Government controls the money that all of us taxpayers contribute to the Government in order to favour their supporters … Does Singapore belong to the PAP? By bullying people in this way is the PAP a First World Government as it claims to be?" - TODAY

28.04.11 -- Worker Party Rally - Hougang SMC @ Hougang Blk 837
Jennifer say:
28.04.11 - Normination Day was yesterday, 27.03.11. With normination day happened, it was a start of an 9 days rallies by all parties in Singapore today. 5 years ago, i went to attend WP rally at Hougang. Today, i went to the same place but with a passionate heart to support Worker Party.
It is a real pity that WP did not contested in AMK GRC unlike 5 years ago. Think WP also know they stand low chance against LSL in AMK GRC. My area opposition party is Reform Party.
But anyway, i support WP, i support Mr Low for contesting in aljunied. With Hougang being strong since Mr Low was the MP since Year 1991, Mr Low had take the risk to contest in aljunied against George Yeo. Mr Low rock, he dare to take on new challenges. His spirit is a learning role model for us - never put yourself in comfort zone, try to seek new challeges. If you never try, you never know the results.
Attending today Rally really made me high to the max. WP speeches really 一针见血, hit the nail on the head, whatsoever but what they mentioned in their rally is what had happened to us.
I had took videos of Mr Low teochew and English speech. For his last speech, i(my hands actually) am too tired to notice i had forget to hit the recording button so no chinese speech. I had used my handphone to record Mr Chan Show Man speech also but it was just a voice recording. And Mr Yaw Shin Leong(Candidate for Hougang SCM) speech that took 20 min, yup, i hold my hand in the air for 20 min.. now hand is a bit numb liao but it is worth it. Luckily Mr Low speech is in parts - First English, Second Teochow and Lastly Chinese. I had record Mr Low speech in English and teochow. I Like Mr Low Teochow speech the most. I can understand Teochow although i did not know how to speak Teochow. I also dun understand why i understand Teochow but maybe got the genes of Mum mah.
