My side of the story … Back home from campaigning in East Coast to prepare for party political broadcast, and my dad comes back from NTUC and goes, “eh your Workers’ Party people at the other block, they ask me to vote for them, I say sure one, my son East Coast one, Daniel Goh, and they very happy, say will come up.”
“Orh okay, the botak is it?”
“Yah, and a girl called Her something and a man called D something.”
I carry on working on my com next to the door, then all of a sudden, Ru appears at the door with her geeky smile, “HELLO!” and a troop of blue soldiers appear behind her. I quickly go put on my party polo tee as I was wearing an unclely singlet and sports shorts.
We took a group photo in the corridor garden (thanks Steven for blocking my shorts and legs in the photo), with my true blue supporter neighbour shouting “Workers’ Party!” from his flat to make us smile. My son was bemused and stuck the Marine Parade calling card on our door.
I come back from the rally and wife tells me the story. They were watching the rally on the com, just when I was speaking, when the PAP fellas came house visiting, “hello sir, please vote for us.” “Sure sure,” says my dad to the shock of my wife and sniggers of my mum, while my son hisses at them. The whites go, “but you have the Workers’ Party card stuck on your door.” My dad points to his grandson, “he stick one!” And I spoke on kiasi, kiasu and kiagui …
