SINGAPORE: The People's Association (PA) is looking
to raise its voice for the community in the year
ahead.
Its Deputy Chairman Lim Swee Say, who is also
Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, said PA has always
reflected the views of the silent majority.
This will continue, but grassroots leaders have to
speak up more and do so more visibly, he said.
Mr Lim was speaking at the PA's annual grassroots seminar.
"The silent majority, not that they don't have any views, but...
they're less pro-active, less visible in expressing their views.
That's why we feel it's very important... for our conversation to
be truly inclusive. It should not just be a voice for the vocal
minority, but it must also reflect the views of the silent
majority," he said, referring to the conversation on Singapore's
future.
