  • Halimah Resigns From Speaker Way Before Verdict, Now Dr Tan Cheng Bock’s Appeal Dismissed

    Halimah Resigns From Speaker Way Before Verdict, Now Dr Tan Cheng Bock’s Appeal Dismissed

    Whoever did not expect this outcome must be living under a rock.

    If not, why would Halimah have resigned before the verdict was announced?

    Common sense dictates that with resignation of Halimah from Speaker of Parliament and MP even before the appeal verdict is known, underscores the PAP’s advance preparation.

    At least show some respect by not resigning from the speaker position until the appeal result was out.

    It clearly shows their arrogance with regards to the upcoming reserved elections.

    So happens that they wanted a Malay president, so she proclaims herself Malay. Highly likely if an Indian president was required, she will declare herself Indian.

    Where is the justice? Is there no democracy?

    To Dr Tan Cheng Bock, thank you for trying. You are already a hero in the hearts of fellow Singaporeans.

    We respect what you did, and what you did was right. #salute

  • PAP Actively Gathering Feedback On Halimah To Initiate Their Next Course Of Action

    PAP Actively Gathering Feedback On Halimah To Initiate Their Next Course Of Action

    Are the PAP actively gathering feedback to determine whether “Madam President” Halimah could win?

    If the feedback is not good, will they make the other two potential candidates be disqualified to create an uncontested election where it is a walkover instead?

    What are the consequences in the event that she were to contest, and she win or lose with a just tiny edge and a large percentage of spoilt votes?

    Disaster is the outcome and it’s nearing.

    Pray for our Singapore politics.

    Zaqy Disambut Baik Penduduk Marsiling

    PENASIHAT akar umbi baru di GRC Marsiling-Yew Tee Encik Zaqy Mohamad melawat beberapa penduduk di rumah mereka semalam, kali pertama beliau berbuat demikian, sejak diumumkan sebagai pengganti Cik Halimah Yacob di sana. Encik Zaqy menghadiahkan beg berisi makanan kepada beberapa penduduk rumah sewa di Blok 3 Marsiling Road. Ia sebahagian program kebajikan tahunan Bringing Cheer @ Marsiling yang dianjurkan oleh kesatuan pekerja Lembaga Pembangunan dan Perumahan (HDB).

    Encik Zaqy, yang juga Anggota Parlimen GRC Chua Chu Kang, dilantik sebagai penasihat Pertubuhan Akar Umbi (GRO) di sana bagi menggantikan Cik Halimah yang mengundur diri dari semua jawatan politik selepas  mengumumkan hasratnya bertanding di Pilihan Raya Presiden bulan depan. Bercakap kepada penduduk Marsiling di acara yang diadakan sempena Hari Kebangsaan baru-baru ini, Encik Zaqy berkata beliau bertekad meneruskan beberapa projek yang telah dimulakan Cik Halimah, seperti pembinaan pusat penjaja makanan baru, pusat dialisis dan memperkukuh khidmat bas awam di kawasan itu.

    Dalam pada itu, Encik Zaqy, yang berpengalaman 11 tahun menjadi AP akan terus berkhidmat sebagai penasihat akar umbi di GRC Chua Chu Kang. Sebelum ini, Menteri Pembangunan Negara (MND) EnciK Lawrence Wong, yang juga mewakili penduduk Marsiling-Yew Tee, berkata penduduk tidak  harus bimbang bahawa perhatian AP di kawasan undi itu akan berubah, kerana pasukan AP di sana, termasuk Encik Ong Teng Koon dan Encik Alex Yam, akan bekerjasama untuk memastikan program kawasan undi dan Sesi Bertemu Penduduk (MPS) akan dijalankan seperti biasa.

  • Malay Family Used To Prove A Point On Meritocracy, But Singaporean Malays Generally Still Sidelined

    Malay Family Used To Prove A Point On Meritocracy, But Singaporean Malays Generally Still Sidelined

    Talking about meritocracy when the Malay community are still being marginalised? 

    If you are really serious about meritocracy, these are some of the things you can do for the Malay community since a “Malay family” has been specifically chosen for the National Day Rally speech.

    Abolish the SAP school system. It is racist for non Chinese students who are deprived of this opportunity, and all schools are not equal for as long as SAP schools are still around.

    Employ more Malays in the defense sectors as much so as other races are able to apply and secure a job. Equal opportunity and ability-based. Malays are not stupid or incapable.

    Don’t use always use Malay CNB officers to catch drug addicts which usually are Malays. Other races too can do a similar job as their Malay colleagues in apprehending those criminals.

    Mendaki and the government must render help to all Muslims no matter Malays or Indians or Arabs.

    Don’t have the impudence to call it a meritocracy if all these problems still persist.

  • PM Lee’s National Day Rally Speech Puts A Malay Family In The Spotlight As Exemplary

    PM Lee’s National Day Rally Speech Puts A Malay Family In The Spotlight As Exemplary

    In January, I presented Edusave Awards to my residents in Teck Ghee. One family I met moved me.

    I presented an Edusave Merit Award to Adam, a student from Teck Ghee Primary School. After the ceremony, I met Adam’s father, Aziz. He showed me an old photo of him, receiving an SBC House Union Bursary from me in 1986! So I have presented awards to father and son, 31 years apart! It was a special moment for Aziz, Adam, and also for me.

    I also met the grandfather, Ahmad, who was a gardener with SBC, the old Mediacorp. That is why Aziz qualified for the Bursary all those years ago.

    It is my Government’s duty to build for our future, so that every family can be like Ahmad, Aziz and Adam. This is the Singapore of the last half century: Every generation striving and building for the next, keeping our eye on tomorrow and investing in our children. Undaunted by challenges, but instead working together to overcome obstacles, seize every opportunity and realise a bright future for all of us.

    Thank you and Good Night!
