Workers Party variety show at Jubilee Hall! Tickets now on sale, only $50

[Extremist]

Want to watch Aljunied GRC MP Chen Show Mao recite poetry, Hougang MP Png Eng Huat rock out in a band or Non-Constituency MP Yee Jenn Jong do a David Copperfield?

The Workers’ Party (WP) parliamentarians will be doing all these and more in a variety show next month.

The show, titled Bricks in Blue: Building for a New Generation! is a tribute to the WP’s supporters in Hougang, Aljunied GRC and “all over Singapore”, according to the party’s Facebook post.

“Come see our members and volunteers unmask their artistic talents like you have never seen before!” it added.

The concert, to be held at the Jubilee Hall on January 6, will feature WP chairman and Aljunied GRC MP Sylvia Lim in a makeover and NCMP Gerald Giam singing, among other highlights.

The parliamentarians have previously shown off their singing chops at constituency events like National Day and Chinese New Year dinners.

Responding to queries from Singapolitics, Hougang MP Png Eng Huat said there will be about 30 to 40 performers, including MPs, party members, volunteers and residents.

The show, jointly organised by the WP’s grassroots arms in Aljunied GRC and Hougang, is open to all, he said. About 740 are expected to attend the matinee and evening shows.

As for those wondering whether the WP’s most familiar face will be involved, fret not.

Singapolitics can confirm that party chief Low Thia Khiang will be singing a Chinese song.

Firm defends itself against WP comment

My Paper
Tuesday, Dec 18, 2012

SINGAPORE - The company that Aljunied-Hougang Town Council chairman Sylvia Lim identified as a factor for the town council's less-than-stellar performance defended itself against the comment yesterday.

Last Friday, a performance report on town councils here by the National Development Ministry showed that Aljunied- Hougang Town Council was the only one that did not have a corporate-governance score.

The ministry said this was because the council had not submitted the auditor's management letter in time.

Ms Lim said in a statement that a reason for the delay was that use of the council's computer and financial systems was terminated by Action Information Management. The firm owns the systems, developed by the People's Action Party town councils.

The Workers' Party (WP) runs the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council, formed after WP won Aljunied GRC at last year's May General Election.

Ms Lim, who is WP's chairman, said that following the election, her town council was notified that use of its computer and financial systems would be terminated from August last year "due to material changes to the membership of the town council".

Ms Lim said this meant the council had to develop its own systems in a two-month timeframe, which was a "near-impossible task".

However, Mr S. Chandra Das, chairman of Action Information Management, clarified in a letter to the media yesterday that the council had requested two extensions from the firm on the use of the systems.

The first one was until Aug 31 last year and the second one was until Sept 9 last year, which Mr Chandra Das said Action Information Management had "readily agreed" to.

"If Aljunied-Hougang Town Council had asked for a longer extension, Action Information Management would have similarly agreed," he said.

"However, after the second extension, (the council) did not ask for further extensions."

No worries. They will find another word to replace it. Associating can be used.
