From Pam Oei’s FB page:
FUNDS NEEDED URGENTLY FOR INDEPENDENT TANJONG PAGAR GRC
As you have read in today’s ST, the independent opposition team that was to run for Tanjong Pagar GRC had to pull out for lack of funds. If you’d like to donate, please give what you can by transferring funds to POSB SAVINGS ACCT 104280293 NOW
Apparently you can do so by tonight, and you can call 81721071 to verify.
Please note that only Singaporeans can donate.
They have managed to secure the funds! Looks like all 87 seats will be contested after all!
it’s over. got disqualified for being late 35s.
I am rather disappointed with you, Miyagi. Did you think the SDA deserved any help, making an appeal at the eleventh hour? And now we know they can’t even fill in a few forms in time!
DEMOCRACY OR AUTOCRACY ???
THIS ELECTION BOILS DOWN TO ONE MAIN ISSUE:-
Do Singaporeans want a Democratic or an Autocratic government???
The fudamental essential of a Democratic government is a strong 2 party system.
Without the checks and balances of a strong opposition there can be- “NO DEMOCRACY!!! ”
Our history has shown that our 2 opposition seats in parliment is grossly insufficient to “CHECK and BALANCE” the (almost) absolute power of the PAP.
We need “MORE OPPOSITION” in parliment for a more Democratic, Caring and Compassionate government for Singaporeans.
We need a government that takes care of-
“SINGAPOREANS FIRST!!!”
– “NOT FOREIGNERS FIRST!!!”
VOTE OPPOSITION FOR A FREE SINGAPORE!!!
“VOTE OPOSITION !!!”
