Slyvia Lim - Why Hougang is special

[Confuseous]

What’s so special about Hougang? In summary, Hougang residents have shown that they will defend democracy in their own backyard, even if it costs them.

About 15 years ago, long before I joined WP, I had a secretary who was an Hougang resident. I asked her how it felt to have transport routes to the area being cut after WP was elected. She told me something which I remember vividly to this day: “Never mind – if we have no train, we will take bus! If we have no bus, we can walk!” Such is the resolve of her and thousands of her neighbours, who have withstood decades of discrimination to vote for WP and Mr Low Thia Khiang, election after election.

Does Hougang matter? You bet it does.

Likewise for the PP voters back then.
Now Aljunied voters will carry the torch.

“Never mind – if we have no train, we will take bus!....

If got train, the PAP will certainly reduce or cut the bus services.
Now with all the problems that the trains are having, the residents of Hougang must be laughing at those PAP constituencies

Every one of the Hougang residents who have been voting for the WP since 1991 should each be given a salute for their sterling service to the nation.. They are the unsung heroes.. Without them, this nation would have been shrouded in darkness by the huge shadow of the PAP flag..

Kudos to Hougang residents for shaming PAP again, again and again.
