Great speech Sir. I am unfortunately a european and cannot vote or you would have got mine! I hope Singaporean are going to boot this arrogant and out of touch PAP party out. It is about time Singapore moves forward and into the 21st century.

Justr checked..it's Tan Jee Say, without the Dr.

[GRKalexis]

I read (ST) that when approached by SDP ppl, a man answered them that he would never vote for the SDP as long as Chee is there. I think so too that Michelle Lee, Dr Ang, Dr Vijaysingham (hope I got his name right) and Dr Tan would garner more votes from the ppl if the Chee names aren't in.

@DarneyScalet There is nothing wrong with CSJ, you are fooled by the newspapers who defame him as crazy.If you think he is, why don't you do a bit more research here in youtube and external websites, i think SDP has the best speakers in this election, would love see them in parliment.

@rhapsonia I'm really not surprised. I personally am not convinced by him. And I'm wary of those with military background in general. Also, the medical, especially mental health care professionals in Singapore lack empathy. That is my impression anyway. If the SDP team consists of mainly characters like Ang Yong Guan, then I may well vote for the PAP.

Singapore need to give money to USA for "survival" because USA (International government) need to invest in Israel and Egypt. Zionist control the banking system and soon the world. Secondly,  No point the money without resource so Singapore need to be close with China even though you should know many do not want communism. Both are for survival for now. The only party I'll join is the messiah's party when.. Jesus pbuh

[fatcamper]

they should have joined the workers party, i dont trust SDP cos of CSJ he seems like a pillock to me.
