tricks, Worker’s Party Secretary General Low Thia Khiang belting
out a Chinese song – it is not your usual meet-the-people session
in Aljunied or Hougang constituency.
In January 2013, the grassroots committees of Workers’ Party will
take to the stage in Jubilee Hall at Raffles Hotel to perform for
their constituents and supporters.
Some 30 to 40 performers, consisting mainly of Members of
Parliament (MPs) from the opposition party, its members, residents
from Aljunied GRC and Hougang as well as volunteers will be taking
part in the event
titled ‘Bricks in Blue’.
Non-constituency Member of Parliament Gerald Giam told inSing News:
“It is a tribute to our supporters in Hougang, Aljunied, and all
over Singapore. All are welcome to attend.”
He has shared the event on his Facebook page, and so have other
Workers’ Party members, such as Yee and Hougang Member of
Parliament Png Eng Huat.
"Let Yee Jenn Jong mesmerize you with magic and Gerald Giam
serenade you with a classic from 1946,” the Facebook post read. “Be
blown away by Png Eng Huat and our band. Reflect on Chen Show Mao's
poetry recital. Be transported back to the 1970s with our Eunos
dancers. Fathom Sylvia Lim's
Giam will not say what kind of “makeover” Aljunied GRC MP Sylvia
Lim is planning. “Rehearsals have started and will continue
throughout December until the show date,” he added.
There will be two shows on Sunday, 6 January 2013, and Giam said
they would cater to an audience of about 740 in total.
“The proceeds from the tickets will go primarily to cover the costs
of the show,” he said.
Tickets for the show, at S$30 (for matinee) and S$50 (for evening),
are available at the meet-the-people sessions in Aljunied and
Hougang constituencies, or by emailing [email protected]
