To Everyone, A Big Thank You From The Bottom Of My Heart
The Armenians say - “When your father dies, your sun shifts, and you walk in your father’s light”.
For me, my sun shifted shortly after noon last Sunday when my beloved Father passed away at the age of 85.
My father’s passing was unexpected. I am grateful that there was no prolonged period of suffering or pain for him.
Over the last few days many of you have sent me and my family wonderful messages of love and support. Many have also sent flowers, including the Jalan Besar MPs led by Manpower Minister Josephine Teo. I can’t thank all of you enough.
I am very grateful that yesterday the Chief Executive Director of The People’s Association, Mr Lim Hock Yu and the Deputy Chief, Mr Han Tan Juan together with Principal Associate Mr Tan Kia Jin and Senior Specialist Ms Jessie Tan came to pay their respects to my Father. My Father would have been delighted with their visit because the People’s Association was a big part of his life and he led the organisation as its Chief Executive Director from 1978-1982.
I single out Mr Tan Kia Jin in particular because I learned from him yesterday that my Father recruited him to the PA in 1979, and next month he will retire from the Organization after being with it for more than 4 decades.
My Father would also have been delighted with the visit of his deputy Chief Mr Tan Kin Hian.
I thank also Mr Lim Chiong Giam, who also visited and was my father’s successor. Finally, I was delighted to see Mr Tan Boon Huat and his Wife Bee Choo last night. Mr Tan was my father’s colleague for many years and was also a former Chief Executive Director Of The People’s Association.
I want to thank also all the members and supporters of Peoples Voice who have given me tremendous support in the last few days as I have battled my grief.
Last but not least I want to thank all the members of the public who came to pay their respects to my late Father and the representatives from the various political parties. You are too many to name but you know who you are. Thank you also to Lee Suet Fern, Tan Jee Say and Tan Kin Lian for coming to the wake.
I have made hundreds of speeches in my life. Today, I will make the hardest one when I eulogise my late Father. But I will make it with gladness in my heart knowing that he has gone to a better place and has, in the words of Ronald Reagan, “slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God”.

Singapore – Opposition People’s Voice leader and lawyer Lim Tean took to social media to highlight the need for a new government due to the “powerlessness of opposition.”
On Saturday (Mar 13), Mr Lim shared a comment made by a public member on one of his earlier posts. “The truism of his comment is self-evident,” said Mr Lim in response to Timothy Soh’s comment.
“We need a new government,” said Mr Lim. “Opposition without wanting to be the government is a total waste of time,” he noted.
“An opposition that is worth its salt and wants to do good for the People must be working towards being the government.”

He was expounding on a comment by Mr Soh who s
aid, “No point being a minority in the parliament. Asking questions can’t change the circumstances for our next generation. We need a whole new set of leaders who are not afraid to make hard decisions, protect the sovereignty of this country and prevent foreign nations from eating our native citizens’ breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. Recently they have started to eat our songwriters’ lunch. What else? Our char kueh teow and chicken rice?”
Mr Lim also quoted former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who described how he hated the “powerlessness of opposition.”
“It is exactly what Timothy Soh has expressed in his comment. That was what drove Tony Blair to lead the Labour Party out of its wilderness years when they had been in opposition for 18 years, and to their landslide victory over the Conservatives in 1997,” said Mr Lim.
“And he had never had any experience of being in government previously!”
In response to his post, members from the online noted that the opposition has a common goal of becoming the ruling party.
“In this regard, I think all opposition parties should come together as one party as by themselves there is no way any individual party can be. It may be difficult as proven on the first attempt but can try again now that all have 4 years to prepare,” said Facebook user Ang Kam Kwang.
Others agreed, adding that with unity, there came strength./TISG

He places emphasis on local talent

Singapore—Lawyer and opposition leader Lim Tean said in a Facebook post on Monday (Mar 29) that he will no longer be using the phrase “foreign talent” for workers from overseas who are employed in Singapore.
He suggested instead that these individuals be referred to as “foreigners working in Singapore” instead, and that when talking about talent, “local talent” should be given emphasis.
Mr Lim, who is the head of the opposition People’s Voice party, is calling on others to follow his example and do the same.
It seems that he believes the term “foreign talent” originated from the ruling People’s Action Party and carries implications detrimental to the national workforce.
“For too Long, Singaporeans have been hoodwinked by the PAP and their MSM mouthpiece into thinking that there is something special about the migrant workforce, which is missing from the Singaporean worker. That is absolutely not the case!” he wrote.

To strengthen his case, he added that many of the workers from overseas in Singapore are from countries whose colleges and universities are ranked lower than Singapore’s higher learning institutions.
“If NUS and NTU, which rank in the TOP 15 in the World, are not producing graduates which are considered local talents, then there must be something wrong with the ranking system!”
He argued that if people want to change “the dreadful labour situation” for the coming generations as well as for PMETs (professionals, managers, executives, and technicians), then it begins with the language and narrative.
“Let’s not be fooled any longer by the language which the PAP and the MSM have visited on us all these years,” he added.
CECA is the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) signed by Singapore and India in 2005 to strengthen bilateral trade which allowed more Indian nationals to come to work in Singapore.
TISG reported in August last year that Mr Lim described CECA as a “one-way street”. Many consider it a significant component in the increasing number of foreign PMETs in Singapore.
“Historians will only rarely bestow the word ‘great’ on someone who has been a transformational figure and changed the world,” Mr Lim added. He gave a few examples of “Greats” such as Napoleon, Peter the Great or Winston Churchill.
“For the same reason, we should immediately stop describing foreigners who come to work in our country as foreign ‘talents,’” Mr Lim continued. He noted how this was a term used by elites and mainstream media as a “clever ploy and euphemism to mask the horrendous number of foreigners” in Singapore allowed to earn a living.

Mr Lim has long voiced support for the local workforce, to the point of starting a petition calling for CECA to be abolished and for the Government to return the “S$2,400-jobs” to Singaporeans first.
