Just came back from the rally,it is so crowded that the area of
at least 2 standard soccer field size were filled with people,i
managed to get almost to the front portion where i was at least
able to look at the candidates while they speak and when i look
behind me,it is all people stretching the way back into the
horizon
If i am not wrong,perry tong gave a speech on what WP's alternative
plans for health care issue are.
Mohamad Rahizan gave a speech on returning the rights to vote
freely and not be intimidated and power to the people
Sylvia Lim spoke more about the issue of heath care rising cost
issue and why govt coming policy to deal with the issue is only
passing the buck back to the people and in the end will end up with
us paying more and more only.
Goh Meng Seng gave a speech on what the PAP has promised all the
years but had never fulfilled them and wanted the PAP to give a
answer for it on why such promises were not carried out.
Low Thia Kiang spoke on how with good planning,his party were able
to help certain blocks get FREE lift upgrading so that lift stop at
every floor and how his further plans to extend such upgrading to
other blocks were disapproved by one certain dept (should be HDB if
i did not remember wrongly) and thus preventing his party from
doing what will help singaporeans in his district.Also spoke on how
the govt is always using the upgrading issue to get their votes and
how he had spoke up for the people in parliment that the govt
should not be doing this since the last 2 election and that if the
people pay taxes,they are entitled to upgrading as well and that
the govt had tried to dodge the issue by saying that it is now a
queue system where Hougang will be like at the last of the queue
and how it seems now that the queue will always be endless and if
Hougang do not vote PAP,upgrading will never be carried out in
Hougang.
There were more speeches given than this but i do not understand
hokkien or what i think was teochew language that LTK gave his
another speech on so can't provide info on this area.
Overall,the speakers gave pretty good speeches and offer some
alternative policy to what the govt is doing in the view of helping
the people.Can see that there is a overall support for tonight's
rally when it ended
