SINGAPORE : In its National Day statement released on Monday, the Workers' Party (WP) paid tribute to Singapore's pioneer generation who struggled to build the nation during the early decades of independence.

Party Chairman Sylvia Lim said this generation embodies the true Singapore spirit - the determination to work hard, overcome the odds and carve out a better life for their children.

They serve as a shining example for many future generations to follow.

Ms Lim said as they have given their best years to Singapore, it's now the nation's obligation to ensure that this generation of Singaporeans live their latter years in dignity, comfort and fulfilment, free from worry and fear for lack of provision.

How will you be spending your day?
I'll be taking the MRT this morning with young friends and giving out flags.
I'm looking forward to representing Aljunied GRC among the audience at NDP later today.
Will post about it tonight.

P.S. "Majulah" and a big "Thank you" to all the volunteers and friends who helped the residents and me at the Meet-the-People session last night on the eve of National Day, and the many sessions before that.

The trick is to use the national flag, the blue dogs will not bother for fear of the national flags.

Good pics, by the way. A very nice insight of the Workers Party.

I get to see some real handshaking with fish mongers.

HGCC Welfare Committee (HWC) – Hey We Care! 2nd Mobilization!

The HGCC Welfare Committee (HWC) organized our 2nd mobilization for ‘后港爱心总动员’. It was brought to the committee’s attention of another home that required some form of cleaning and painting. The team wasted no time in mobilizing a team of 12 volunteers to kick off the 2nd Mobilization.

12 enthusiastic volunteers, including 5 Hougang Women Support Network Volunteers came forward for this mission. It was a 3-room flat. A grim sight and a foul smell greeted us. 2 elderly brothers (The Lims, not their real name) stayed in the flat. Elder brother was 82 years old, had physical disability. He could hardly walk stably, even with a walking stick. He was a grumpy and frail old man. He was unhappy with the volunteers’ work to clean up his house. He was accustomed to his dirty house, having used to living in such dirty conditions, he was unhappy with the disturbance it brought to him.

The younger brother was 70-odd years old. He had agreed to the house-cleaning mission, as he was unable to effect the cleaning on his own efforts. It was not an easy task for him to manage his grumpy brother, and most of the time, he left him alone.

The house was quite bare. The Lims do not have many belongings, except for some clothing and a few old electrical appliances. Even the refrigerator was not working, but was used as a cabinet.

The team started work immediately. We started cleaning up the house, and subsequently repainting the house.

The toilet was in really bad condition. The smell was very bad, and the bowl was literally black. We had to use a bottle of concentrated acid to dissolve the unidentified ‘substance’ inside.

It was a best effort cleaning since none of us had experience in painting a house. At the end of the day, it was a gratifying moment for the team to see the house transformed into a nicely painted house. For once, there was a fragrance from the cleaning detergent coming out from the house instead of a foul smell.

We also found sponsors who bought a mattress for the elder Mr Lim. He had been sleeping on the floor all these while. The paints and equipments were also sponsored by kind donors.

HGCC Welfare Committee – Hey We Care! Monthly Food distribution for the needy.

HGCC Welfare Committee in collaboration with Voluntary Welfare Organization (VWO) held our monthly food distribution yesterday. The food provisions are supplied by the VWO sponsors and food distribution takes place every last Saturday of the month in Hougang. The list of recipients are welfare cases in Hougang. HGCC Welfare committee, together with a group of volunteers from Hougang Women Support Network had, over the last 2 months, conducted house visits to every single house on the welfare recipient list to ascertain the recipients’ conditions. A new welfare card was issued to replace their existing welfare card to confirm recipients for a 3months to 1-year food provision.

If you are keen to be part of the welfare team, please do write to us at [email protected].
