After 50 years of brainwashing by a party-controlled media, the lack of discerning power by the SGs is completely understandable. Let's not be too hard on the 60%.
Its time the 60% did some political growing up.

This one has no audio issue. All good.
"No, I cannot leave,
I will not leave,
This is my home,
I know of no other,
I was born Singaporean
I was raised Singaporean
And I will die Singaporean"
Trending on Facebook: A voter has supposedly written a heartfelt note and pledged a $100 donation to the Singapore Democratic Party’s Chee Soon Juan.
The note is believed to have been written after Chee gave a rousing rally speech at Choa Chu Kang Stadium on Thursday night, Sept. 3, his first in 15 years.
The note referenced the buying of Häagen-Dazs ice cream — a topic brought up by Chee at his rally — where he gave an anecdote about how his penny-pinching ways to keep up with the standard of living in Singapore meant that he cannot buy ice cream for his children.
This was what he said during his rally speech:
“I know what it feels like to keep counting your dollars and trying to cut down on expenses. When you need to see a doctor, buy that extra packet of milk, choose a better quality cooking oil, you are always checking the price to see if you can afford it. I understand.
Sometimes I go to Giant to buy groceries, and once in a while, I want to buy some ice cream for my children. So I go to the freezer and I take a look at the prices and immediately I discount Ben & Jerry’s, Häagen-Dazs. I look at Wall’s ice cream and I think of getting a tub. And my wife comes along and says, ‘Maybe it is better if you get it if it’s on sale.’ I know. I know what it is like to count your every dollar. At times like this, the worst thing to have are people who are out of touch with reality and make policies that affect you and how you live. [Applause]
If they don’t understand, if they don’t understand the difficulties that you face, then how can they help you?”

Dr Chee is truly speaking from his heart. He don't even read from a script. Holland Bukit Timah voters this is a great opportunity that you only possess to vote for a people's voice to represent you. Vote for Dr. Chee and his team.
Yes I cant give my vote to him as my area is WP.....
For the sake of all Singaporeans please help us vote him in.
Be courageous like aljunied hougang voters and potong pasir before that.....and recent punggol voters.
The Petir Road speech is the greatest rally speech I've heard. Moved me to tears. He was speaking like a Southern Baptist minister. Obama's "yes, we can" speech was delivered with a teleprompter; Chee didn't even use a script.
Kudos. The Messiah is here.
PAP now regrets for not saving Kong Hee. For he was the only other one who could match Dr Chee
