KJ to donate 10% of MP's salary, in addiiton to moving to Punggol if erected

[Confuseous]

SINGAPORE: Reform Party's candidate for the Punggol East by-election Kenneth Jeyaretnam has pledged to donate 10 per cent of his salary to community projects in the ward if he is elected as Member of Parliament.

Speaking to reporters at Rivervale Mall on Saturday evening, Mr Jeyaretnam said this will also go some way towards funding his five-year plan for the constituency.

Giving more details of the plan, the Secretary-General of the Reform Party said he hopes to set up at least one childcare centre in every precinct in Punggol East. The plan also includes starting daycare centres for the elderly.

These centres can be managed by the NTUC, and he is suggesting that subsidies be provided for all.

In addition, Mr Jeyaretnam is proposing to build a cinema at Rivervale Plaza. He also wants to establish a dedicated hotline for residents so that help on estate matters can be given quickly.

To address residents' car parking woes, Mr Jeyaretnam is proposing to allocate car park lots strictly on home ownership and allow only one lot per family.

Other ideas in the five-year plan include providing recycled laptops to needy students.

He is saying something that will never ever come true.

If he still thinks he has a chance, he is seriously in denial.

Should donate 100 % to prove that he is not opportunistic.

GMS disagrees with you. GMS has all but said that KJ can, should and will win this BE.

He is saying something that will never ever come true.

If he still thinks he has a chance, he is seriously in denial.

KJ should promise the pies in the sky to the PE voters. there is really nothing to lose here. some people will laugh at it. but never mind. empty promises are part and parcel of elections.

what a piece of cheap trash.

As a hedge fund manager he must have made many millions. He should therefore demonstrate to residents that his purpose in contesting is to serve and provide for them. Thus, all his MP's allowance should go into improving the constituency.

Can anyone share with us on the hedge fund he managed? If doing well, why is he wasting time doing this and jobless as we speak?
