Ex-presidential candidate Tan Jee Say
turns May Day protest into 'political rally'
Change the Govt: Tan Jee
Say
HIS plan to help workers?
Change the Government, said former presidential
candidate Tan Jee Say yesterday at Hong Lim Park. He was not
against foreign workers in Singapore, but blamed current policies
for allowing them in.
"Do not vote PAP out of gratitude because gratitude
is about the past, not for the future," he said.
"Vote for the future, not the past."
Mr Tan, who also stood and lost at the 2011 General
Election in Holland-Bukit Timah GRC as a Singapore Democratic Party
candidate, described the Population White Paper as a plot against
Singaporeans.
Ten others spoke about their concerns ranging from
human rights to bread-and-butter issues before Mr Tan.
Speaking on infrastructure, he said places such as
Hong Kong built infrastructure first before bringing in more
people, but the exact opposite was done here.
"The only way... is to change the Government," he
told the crowd.
"The fact is the opposition today is more ready
than PAP was in 1959."
He said the opposition now has seven PhD
holders.
"By the next general election in 2016, more will
join us, like many of you here in the audience," he said.
He said it was possible for different opposition
parties to form a coalition government.
He said: "Go for it Singapore, your life will taste
much better under a 'rojak' coalition."

Tan
Jee Say forgot that it was the WP who are in the parliament, and
his last bid to become the opposition head failed miserably.
More PhD means more ready to govern? that is exactly the problem
with the PAP!!! It is obvious that Tan JS doesn't learn, who won't
the last by election, a doctor or a lady on the ground.
another crown....
