Desmond Choo and Rotary Club to roll out ‘Friendlier Homes Project’ to help needy eld
PAP candidate for Hougang Desmond Choo (pic left) will be collaborating with the Rotary Club to roll out a ‘Friendlier Homes Project’ to help needy elderly residents in Hougang.
Mr Choo has spent the last few months walking the ground in Hougang and talking to residents to identify their needs before submitting a proposal to the Rotary Club of Singapore for its consideration.
Though Mr Choo lost to WP’s Yaw Shin Leong in the May General Election last year, he started work in Hougang immediately after his defeat and had been working hard in the last one month, especially so after Yaw went ‘AWOLed’ after he was sacked from WP for his failure to address swirling rumors about his alleged extramarital affairs with multiple married women including two key WP female leaders.
In a letter addressed to Mr Choo, the President of the Rotary Club of Singapore Tapan Kumar Rao wrote that he was impressed by Mr Choo’s involvement in identifying the needs of Hougang elderly residents and in campaigning for them to get involved in improving their lives.
The long-term projects involved raising funds to retrofit toilets to make them friendly for the elderly and an ‘adopt a grandparent’ program to bridge the young and old in society.
Rotary Club is a non-government organization which is not owned or linked to the government in anyway. It obtains its funds largely from well-wisher and donation drives.
Some responses from Hougang residents on Mr Desmond Choo’s Facebook page:
“He didn’t use Tax Payers money to help the needy, he didn’t ask for any funds from his Party to spend on Hougang residents, his action attracted all the charitable organisations to come forward willingly to help and support his plans. Rotary Club’s letter is a good testimonial. Why are we still doubting him?” – Jimmy Cheang
“A job well done! we’re seeing more initiatives in Hougang even before Desmond is voted in than we have for Aljunied after WP promised to do better than the previous party… perhaps some people should just stop boasting about the new talents they have AND PUT SOME WORDS INTO ACTION. we don’t need lip service in Singapore. we need people who truly want to serve, and not say they want to serve every 5 yrs after submitting their nomination papers! Good job Desmond Choo! You’re the best choice for Hougang!” – Kong Junjie
“朱倍庆辛苦奔波为贫困的后港居民谋求福利，这本来就是某某某需要做而没有做的义举，唉！等到朱先生做到了，他们才来冷嘲热讽，太过份了。枉费后港居民支持了他们二十年！” – Angelia See

I've worked with them before and they are neutral for community events, be it on PAP or WP's turf. However not all volunteer groups are aligned with any political party.

Police Report No. A/20120523/2006
Name of Informant : Jane Lim
Date/Time of Incident : 19-5-2012 14:30-16:30
I am a volunteer from a non-organisation, independent volunteering group namely-Happy Angel Seniors programme.
On 19-5-2012 at about 1430hrs, my volunteering group had a void deck elderly event at Blk2 Hougang Ave 3 whereby the volunteers were distributing groceries to the elderly residences of the surrounding blocks within Hougang Ave 3 vicinity. We were unaware that the Prime Minister, Mr.Lee Hsian long, together with People’s Action Party member, Mr.Desmond Choo, will be passing by the block which the event was held at.
At about 1600hrs, while we were still distributing the groceries, mr.Lee and
Mr Choo passed by our event site and drop by to pay visit to the elderly. After which, he left.
On 20-5-2012, our volunteers started to call and informed me that Lianhe Zaobao had wrote an article on the headlines about Mr. Lee and Mr Choo’s visit to the event. However, when they read about the caption written under the photograph of Mr. lee and Mr.Choo’s, it stated in one of the sentence that my volunteering group is from a Volunteers Welfare Organisation (VWO) and we co-cooperate with the Workers’ Party. However, we are not. As such, I called Singapore Press Holding (SPH) to clarify about this and later the reporter namely Chua Eng Wee ,who reported about this, called me and I was told by him that someone had given this information and he was instructed to write this by that person. I asked him about why he did not clarify first before publishing and he told me that it was too late to verify as the information came in too late and he was sorry about this. I tried to ask him more about who gave this information and he refused to tell me about it initially until I prompted him further and he told me that someone within the Grassroot had instructed him to write about this so that they can show to the public that both the People’s Action Party and Workers Party are able to work with each other in harmony and state my event as a Workers Party join organized event. I then tried to clarify this with him and he was willing to give a disclaimer regarding this issue. He later asked me about how the disclaimer was going to be publishing on the newspaper. It stated that SPH is sorry about the wrongly published issue regarding my volunteering group is from VWO and Co-operate with the Workers’ Party. After reading the SMS he sent to me about the disclaimer hew was going to publish on the following day. I agreed and allowed him to publish on what he had told me about.
On the 21-5-2012, I read the disclaimer column of Lianhe Zaobao. However, it did not state that they wrongly published about the photograph caption and they were sorry about it which earlier I had agreed with reporter
Chua Eng Wee. I contacted Chua Eng Wee about this and I was told that his chief editor had removed this. I asked him about who is his chief editor? However, her refused to tell me and I had no choice but to hang up the call. Later that night, I posted this issue on Mr. Lee’s facebook wall and Zaobao Forum and sent an email to both REACH and Lianhe Zaobao.
On 22-5-2012 at about 0800 hrs. I sent an SMS to the reporter Chua Eng Wee and informing him about I had sent an email to REACH and Lianhe Zaobao and the posting on Zaobao forum was being deleted. I wish to have SPH to apologise about this or else we have to take our legal action regarding this issue. However, Chua Eng Wee did not reply till now.
I wish to state that my volunteering goup-Happy Angel Seniors Programme, does not side with any political parties as we are an independent volunteering group and it is unfair that Lianhe Zaobao was able to be influence by other sources which was not being verified by the actual situation. I strongly request Lianhe Zaobao to give an apology to this issue and to be publish on the newspaper front page. If not, we will be taking civil action against Lianhe Zaobao and seek sponsorship from PM Lee for the fees.
That is all.

so count the PAP as another entity of power that has been infiltrated by the freemasons. what happened to their old HQ along coleman street?
The Rotary Club is just a business/professional/community-oriented, gender inclusive cousin organization of the Freemasons.
Any questions?
