In his instagram stories, Charles Yeo @toxicstatenarrativeinsg has announced that the Reform Party CEC has elected him as the latest Chairman of the party. It's a good sign that even the Reform Party is welcoming new and young blood into its ranks, unlike the PAP who mostly consist of old fogies who are still stuck in the old school mentality that never change, which is why they lost another GRC at the recent GE.

The 158th media has made no effort to hide their bias against the opposition by leaving out faces of opposition candidates in their Nomination Day Live Coverage. 158 did not bother to find photos of opposition candidates and just showed them as blanks while all the PAP candidates' faces were shown. What is their excuse for not being able to get a photo of the prominent Paul Tambyah who is going to be president of the International Society of Infectious Diseases?

I was upset when the gov disguise condescension as affirmative action. I was distraught that my community was taken as a pawn in a political manoeuvring.

When I heard news that Lim Tean has resigned from NSP, I wasnt surprised of the reasons for his resignation. Curtailment of his freedom of speech is one of it. Often times, it's the alternative parties that espouses freedom of speech but in reality, fall short of implementing it within its own organization. I encountered many times where alternative parties feel uneasy when its members are vocal about issues they feel strongly about. Issues like LGBT, Tudung issue, discrimination, religion, 377A, article 154 etc.

But of course not all of the alternative parties hold such unwritten rules. It depends on the leader at helm. Some may argue that members need to toe along the party lines to achieve unity within the organization but by doing so, it instead create artificial harmony within its rank. These parties are then no better than the PAP, the very one they hope to replace. In this aspect, I'm proud to be a part of The Reform Party where its leadership never once tried to curtail my freedom of speech as long as it is done in a responsible manner. I wish Lim Tean all the best. It is better to move away than to be in a party and gets zipped up. That can spell the end of democracy.

Last Monday; I went to the Meet the People Session to seek help from Amrin Amin; the MP for Woodlands.

Despite myself being a civil servant for 20 years; he told me, "Nobody owed you a living and nobody owed you anything" which implied that even when I'm in dire situation and needs some life line; nobody is obliged to help me ?.
