Sunday afternoon, I was at Nex Starbucks with Choong Yong (
https://www.facebook.com/kohchoongyong) to discuss the Manifesto for our mutual benefit as we have debates to prepare for and rally speeches to write. A man around our age recognised us and walked to us, shook our hands with a sparkle of appreciation in his eyes, "give them a good fight!"
Tomorrow, it begins. I have major nerves. I am not a natural politician, am just a scholarly monk who is taking up the call to duty, the calling to serve. This song is calming me down much, almost a prayer on repeat.
It reminds me that while I am contesting against the prickly PAP, I am not fighting "against" them, not fighting to win. I am fighting to love, for the love of Singapore, one that seems to be slipping away. I want my children to grow up understanding this song, the movie, and to be touched by both.
Maybe this Seventh Month will be different. Let's give them a good fight!
