    Damanhuri Abas: PAP Must Call For GRC By-Election If Halmah Yacob Runs For President, SDP Ready To Compete

    If Mdm Halimah runs for the Malay President, SDP will be ready to give the people of Marsiling and Yew Tee another chance to consider us to be in Parliament to voice the people’s concern now having seen the outcome of their vote 2 years on.

    The PAP must play it fair, the minority representation by an MP must be replaced in a GRC by-election.

    Lets do it people!!!

  • 75 Years Ago Today, Singapore Was Invaded

    75 Years Ago Today, Singapore Was Invaded

    On this day 75 years ago, Singapore was invaded by the Japanese 25th Army.

    Over the next 8 days, we’ll be recapturing the key moments from the Battle of Singapore.

    It is from history that we learn about who we were then, who we are now, and who we want to be in the future.

    We remember the sacrifices made and lessons learned – Our SAF exists and is strengthened by National Service to make sure history never repeats itself again.

  • The Hypocrisy Of Racism And Multiracialism In Singapore

    The Hypocrisy Of Racism And Multiracialism In Singapore

    *when an old man hurls racist insults at a Malay lady*

    ‘Oh, this is a one-off incident. This should be condemned, but it is not reflective of our society at all.’

    *when madrasah kids are labeled extremists*

    ‘Oh, that is just one sick dude’s comments. Ignore him.’

    *when building a fence is suggested to cordon off foreign workers*

    ‘You must understand the context of the post. She is not racist; in fact, she gets along with the foreign workers in her ward very well!’

    *when an influential person remarks that Malays and Indians cannot speak English well*

    ‘His comments were taken out of context. Let us not be so quick to judge others.’

    *when racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic comments are made (on Facebook) on the comments sections of ST articles*

    ‘Those are just keyboard warriors. Who hide behind anonymity. Most Singaporeans are not like that.’

    ———

    *when there is one incident of Malays at a wedding standing up for a Chinese funeral procession that was passing by*

    ‘This is what makes Singapore, Singapore. *tears a bit* I love this country. Multiracialism, at its best. Majulah Singapura!’
