"Back to school! After 6 weeks of holidays, it was quite an experience for my wife and I to go down to the void deck today just after 6am and wait for two school buses to carry our kids off to the first day of school for 2016. Happily, no one had any trouble waking up on time."

**********

6 am, that early?
What time does school start?

When I was growing up in Singapore, school starts at 0730 to 1230 or 1300 to 1830 hours.
In Toronto, school starts at 0830 or 0845.

For my kids in Singapore, school starts at 0730 to 1330 (Mon-Thur), on Fridays 0730 to 1530.

If my kids take the school bus to school, the bus will pick them up at 0610. But I drive my kids to school instead so that they get an additional 45 minutes of sleep. They take the school bus home.

Our first day of landed house visits in East Coast GRC saw many interesting conversations on topics like the need for alternative voices in Parliament and the cost of living. Many residents encouraged us to hold events in the estate.

"Going by this logic, MINDEF must require all SAF regulars and NSmen to pay for parking in army/military camps. The Government should leave the status quo as it is and allow our teachers to do what they do best. So many of them stay back to help students - why indirectly penalise them?"

The Workers’ Party strongly condemns the deadly bomb attacks in Jakarta earlier today.


We hope the perpetrators will be brought to justice soon and fully support the Singapore government's assistance to the Indonesian government.
We would like to express our deepest condolences to the victims and their families, and to the people of Indonesia.

Yes, 2015 has been an eventful year. Not the outcome we may wish for, but thanks for the journey.
Thanks for being with me on the journey.


Thanks to my wonderful team mates for being together in the contest.


Thanks to the many who had given so much of your time and resources. Thanks for your sweat, thanks for your tears. Thanks for your cheers, thanks for your hugs. Thanks for the many kilometres travelled together. Thanks for the new friends made, thanks for old friendships rekindled.


Thanks to the many who gave us drinks on our hot and tiring visits, and for the occasional snacks to give us the energy to go a bit longer. Thanks for your many words of encouragement.


Thanks for a year that I shall always remember.


To the many who had come my way this year, as William Shakespeare put it in the Twelfth Night, “I can no other answer make but thanks, and thanks, and ever thanks…”


See you all in 2016. Wishing everyone a fulfilling year ahead.

Happy New Year Workers' Party

Just passing a message on behalf of someone.

Let bygone be bygone!
Let's start this New Year with renewed resolve
To Win back Punggol East
and establish a WP stronghold in the East of Singapore
Let's work together once again
For together we did won Aljunied and Punggol East before
But always remember to humble yourselves even towards a pauper.
For its foolish to judge a book by its cover.

The workers party are really working very hard in their walkabouts. Leon Perera will lose his beer belly if he keeps going for walkabouts every week.

At the end of a not-so-great week, it was heartening yesterday to catch up with residents who turned up at our tea session @ Poh Huat Rd to say hello and to offer feedback and advice.
You are the reason for our work. Thank you for your encouragement, despite our imperfections. You inspire us to greater heights.
