Singapore Democrats
Come down to Toa Payoh Central on Thursday and get your Tak
Boleh Tahan! T-shirts for $12 and buttons for $2. We have had
many requests to purchase these items since our protest outside
Parliament House on 15 Mar 08.
The revenue generated from the sales will be used for future
campaign purposes. So come and support our campaign against the
rising cost of living in Singapore.
While inflation may be a global phenomenon, the Government has done
little to ease the burden of the ordinary people.
In fact some of its policies are the
main cause of the horrendous rise in prices. The raising of the GST
from 3 to 5 to 7 percent, the mushrooming of the number of ERP
gantries, the escalation of land prices are just some examples.
The Government then said that it was
"pleasantly" surprised at the collection of $6 billion in taxes and
revenue last year, putting the spin that it was through good
governance that brought about the windfall. There is nothing good
about such governance. There is only state greed.
We know you are hurting,
Singaporeans, and that you are absolutely sick and tired of being
kicked around by the PAP. But if you choose to cower in fear,
nothing will change and the PAP will continue to lord over you.
Remember, the ministers are there to
serve the people. But they have cleverly used their positions to
intimidate the people and abused their power for their self-serving
needs.
We also know that you want to do
something about this. Well, you can.
Come to Toa Payoh Central on Thursday, 1 May, and
support our campaign. We want to energise the people to bring about
the change that all of us want to see.
The people must realise that we are not powerless. We must discover
that we, as a people, have the ability to bring about democratic
change. We must believe in ourselves.
You can start by buying the T-shirts
and wearing them to help spread the message. Pin on the buttons and
let Singaporeans know that it is game on!
There are also other T-shirt
designs to choose from. The two best selling ones are: "I love
Singapore, it's the PAP I can't stand!" and "Singapore Democrat –
and proud of it!"
There are many reasons for you to
make your way down to Toa Payoh and absolutely none to miss it:
Sign the
petition, grab a balloon, chat with the organisers and helpers,
help pass out flyers, go on house-to-house visits with us, etc.
Whatever you do, don't just stay
home. Come and be a part of history, a part of the change that is
underfoot. It is said that the mightiest army cannot stop an idea
whose time has come. Democracy is that idea whose time has
come.
Times are a-changing and we, the opposition, are changing too. We
are moving forward with right in our hearts and fire in our
bellies. Your support in such times is crucial.
We'll be there from 11 am to 6 pm. We'll keep the light on (in
our hearts) for you.
Don't let Singapore down.
