Don't be discouraged, PM Lee tells activists

SINGAPORE - Citing the criticism levelled at grassroots activists in the aftermath of the recent General Election (GE), Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong yesterday defended the work of the activists who had given "their honest feedback, which unfortunately we sometimes failed to interpret correctly".
Speaking at a dinner to thank volunteers of his Teck Ghee division in Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency (GRC), Mr Lee also acknowledged that "clearly there were problems which were missed" and areas where the People's Action Party (PAP) "can and must improve".
But it would be unfair to blame the activists, said Mr Lee, as the majority have committed time and energy to community work and have done their best to serve residents.
He said community leaders and PAP activists played a crucial role in the run-up to the GE, with some even taking leave during the nine days of hustings.
"People say various things: They say that (the activists) stood between the Members of Parliament and residents, you shielded the MP, or you didn't respond enough to the residents' needs, or you didn't speak candidly enough when the residents were giving feedback and the MP didn't get a good sense of what was on the ground," he said.
"Some grassroots leaders and party activists reading this have been discouraged. My response is, don't be discouraged."
The Prime Minister said that shortcomings in the PAP will be remedied and the party will strive to do better.
These include strengthening the party's presence on the ground, improving the way Members of Parliament and the grassroots network operate - so that there is a better bond with residents - and reaching out to groups which the PAP needs to better connect with, including young adults and residents who live in private estates.
In Ang Mo Kio GRC - where a PAP team helmed by Mr Lee won 69.3 per cent of the votes - he gave credit for the good results to the efforts of activists and grassroots leaders.
He noted that they have worked hard since the 2006 GE. In fact, some have been active in Teck Ghee from the time he contested his first GE in 1984.
"You've tended the ground, solved problems for residents, improved our estate and facilities, made sure that issues were attended to, made sure that people's lives gradually got better," said Mr Lee.
"During the nine-day election campaign, I know how hard everybody worked ... and seeing to organising rallies and to all the things big and small which make a successful election campaign."
Mr Lee also paid tribute to activists in the other divisions. The PAP candidates in all constituencies were thankful to them for playing crucial roles during the hustings, the Prime Minister added.
They can not accept this lost and change. The psychological implication is tremendous for some of them. The service and treatment from professional psychologist became necessary.
