THURSDAY, 13 OCTOBER 2011

The Singapore Democrats continued our groundwork at the Tanjong
Pagar GRC, the second time in two weeks. Members were out chatting
with residents on Sunday at the Tiong Bahru food centre and market.
Danny, our Democracy Bear, joined us for the walkabout (see
photos).
The weekend before, we were also at the Sembawang GRC continuing
with our walkabouts there. This is all part of our ground campaign
to get to know the people better and to listen to their
concerns.
The next general elections may be years away but the party is not
wasting any time by laying dormant in between the elections. We
have been actively engaging constituents since the GE in May this
year.
Tanjong Pagar GRC was not contest in the last
elections and has remained so for a few decades. This will change
as the SDP will be contesting in the ward at the next
GE.

From the water-tank issue in Marsiling to bringing basic
necessities to needy families at the Sembawang GRC to block parties
to football competitions to reach out to younger Singaporeans,
members and volunteers have been keeping thenselves extremely busy
with our Road to 2016 campaign.
These activties have been driven by our Community Services and
Ground Operations groups.
Apart from our groundwork, other subcommittees also been hard
at work. Our Policy Studies subcommittee is making its final
revision to a major policy paper on ministerial salaries that will
be released soon.
Also in the works is SDP's alternative national healthcare plan
drawn up by our Healthcare Advisory Panel which we are looking
forward to launching in 2012.
Danny reaches out
Our Training & Development unit will conduct a workshop for
party members this Saturday which will be followed by a BBQ. The
workshop is aimed at updating members on developments and preparing
them for the campaign ahead.
To support the myriad of activities, our Fund-Raising group will be
announcing a major event in the near future which we're sure will
be of great interest to everyone public.
So the next time anyone asks you whether the
opposition has gone to sleep in between elections, you know what to
tell them about the Singapore Democrats.

They did a good job against that gay cunt Vivian in
Holland-Bukit Timah. Maybe it might be better to focus on taking
him down.
Not to mention KBW in Sembawang ought to be walking on thin
ice.
