Got this from EDMW...
more than 20 years ago, arrogant tang guan seng from the pap did nothing much to help the residents(former farmers) of hougang (80s new estate)despite pleas.
unhappiness was filling in the air but tang guan seng thought hougang ward will be secured by him no matter what. 1990, techow low thia khiang heard their voices... helped them in whatever ways he could sincerely. came 1991 GE, ltk took the seat under the nose of snobbish tang guan seng.
the rest is history.
former farmers... 1st generation of hougang hdb estate, many have since passed away or in ripe age. the 2nd will never forget how their parents suffered, and the 3rd generation will not forget how the PAP mistreated their grandparants and parents. and of coz, the 3rd generation are facing mistreatment from the PAP.
PAP sent teochew heng chee how on a mission to take back hougang but failed..... GE 1997 (i was naive then). despite securing much lesser votes than tang guan seng, heng cheew how was sent into parilament under the skirt of GRC in 2001 GE.
GE 2001, the PAP sent chiku low siak meng to contest, lost. PAP this time did not arranged to send him away. chiku low, as we used to call him rather friendly and looked since. some of us gave our votes to him. ltk valid votes dropped. and chiku low stood his ground and served thru the back door as grassroot advisor.
GE 2006. again, chiku low vs ltk. 日久见人心we were pissed off with chiku low throughout the years after the last GE.... kept hanging goodies before our eyes not never letting us eat it.... not even touch it!! and then gct came and teamed up with chiku to threaten us! they think we were rabbits! we threw the carrots back hard at them.... they ran away. we managed to get hold of chiku low, cursed him in teochew style PU NIA BU GAI CB and kicked him out of hougang!!!
GE 2011, desmond choo took over chiku. chiku low insulted us... no one in the PAP reprimanded him! coupled with past nonsense, threats and farkup policies. it was very obvious PAP had already forsaken us. we were sad that ltk had to leave but as he said in the rally... healthy democracy has to grow. ysl wasnt a stranger to us.... he was sincere in serving hougang smc. we gave him the votes.
though ysl was irresponsible for his "no comments" and acts but he served the residents as a real mp would do. WP took action and sacked him in front of the press... and this is something the PAP will NEVER dare to do it.
hougang by-election 2012, the majority of the residents know how the MSM work.... and how dirty PAP is in politics, both can never can't bluff us. the PAP fielded its worst speakers with lies flowing out of their mouths! and this election for the first time in hougang, the PAP played the dirtiest!
desmond choo can cry again for the second time.... crocodile tears! PU NIA @*% KOR CHEE!
my father and uncles, groomed to take over my grandparents pig/chicken farm ended up with nothing except a roof.
i witnessed how my dad and mum had to work like slaves hopping around with odd jobs, struggled and sufferred so much just to feed the family with really humble food to fill up our stomach, and for me and siblings - decent education. life was really farking tough that they had almost exhuasted whatever options. that snobbish matta farker tang guan seng treated my dad and mum like dirt when they went to seek help from him. my mum came back home with tears.
in one of a routine family gathering during weekend, we made a serious discussion to vote for the incumbent just because we wanted lift upgrading for our old ah gong and ah ma.
both reacted angrily. my ah gong swore he will walk out of the house if he ever knew any of us vote for the white. and ah ma threatened to commit suicide by jumping down from our house. then both educated us that life may be tough but we shall NEVER BOW down. my siblings and i could see the eyes of uncles and aunties swelled...
during both of my grandparents' funeral, low thia khiang visited at late hours after meet-the-ppl session... and spoke to us.
throughout the years all of us grow up to know more of low thia khiang... though he is never able to help hougangers with certain issues but he is NEVER an actor, and NOT for personal glory. and not forgetting what kind of person the PAP has sent to hougang smc.... heng chee how, chiku low and now liar choo(he is his own man?!?)
all my uncles and aunties... including my siblings, and most of my cousins either live at hougang smc or aljuined grc now for obvious reason!
