Serious Karang Guni President Threatens To Lead Illegal Protest On July 15!

[JohnTan]

The market vendors of Sungei Road Thieves Market have vowed to march from the site of the market to the Istana on 15 July if the government insists on closing the market on 11 July.


This is because the government is effectively cutting off their only source of income and denying them the ability to earn a livelihood in increasingly expensive Singapore.

Koh Ah Koon, who is the President of the Association for the Recycling of Second Hand Goods, declared that if the government insists on disbanding the Thieves Market at Sungei Road, a number of the senior aged vendors would march from the market to the Istana to ask the government and president to give them a fair solution for the loss of their livelihood.

He added that if the government stops the first protest from taking place, there will still be another batch to demand that the government answer for its actions.

The vendors are especially angered by the indifference of the government to their pleas for an alternative plot of land to run their businesses. According to Koh, the vendors proposed 2 other locations but they have been ignored by the authorities.

In it's most recent letter to the Association, the National Environment Agency says it would not allocate the vendors any space anywhere to run their businesses.

1. Who did they vote for?

2. They should suggest Istana as their alternative site. Lots of land and empty spaces in there.

Interesting what the police will do if these Ah Pek march to Istana.
How many are so called Pioneer Generation (where they introduced the PG Package to honour and thank them for their hard work and dedication. They have made Singapore what it is today..(sic)

Who gets better treatment-foreigners or pioneer generation?
Kurt Wee fighting for employing more foreigners, why his SME's not give these poor AH Peks jobs instead!

Will not be surprised if the ah pehs would be handcuffed and hauled en masse to the lockup for either doing an illegal gathering or attempting to cause a riot....:(

WTF, the poor, aged, sick and weak in Singapore are always being bullied and treated shabbily because the pappies will ask them...'what can you do?'....you gotta money to employ a lawyer or not???

Bloody, bloody shame....

Times are hard & as more people are unemployed & face hardships I predict that more Sporeans will start to push back on many of the PAP's policies.

The older generation have been the strongest supporters of the PAP. LHL seems to have forgotten this.

The older generation will continue to vote for PAP regardless how often they curse at PAP in the coffeeshops and in their homes. I've ascertain this after numerous grassroots visits over the years. All is fine.
