Is Nicole Seah coming back to Singapore to volunteer with the Workers’ Party for the upcoming General Election?

The former National Solidarity Party (NSP) candidate who rose to stardom in the General Election 2011, said on her Facebook fanpage that while she would not be contesting in the General Election as a candidate, she would be coming back to Singapore to volunteer in the elections.

“I will come back to help, but not as candidate this round unfortunately,” wrote the 28-year-old digital manager who is based in Bangkok.

The comment is one of many in a discussion on Ms Seah’s fanpage posting of a link of a Mothership.sg interview with He Ting Ru, highly expected to be a WP candidate.

In another of her comments, Ms Seah wrote “No I won’t be able to contest even if I join WP now. What I appreciate about WP is that they have very clear processes for candidacy and membership. There is no fast track or parachuting. So Ting Ru has really gotten to this point because of her hard work helping at the legal and grassroots level.”

Her remark is seen to be an endorsement of the Workers’ Party and its newest candidate for the General Election.

照常开课引批评 王乙康发长文以三大原因解释

上周,教育部宣布将在今日(23日)照常开课,但随着疫情日益严重,我国新增许多境外移入的确诊病例,让不少家长表示担忧,甚至发出网络请愿书,要求教育部继续延长关闭学校的日期。 此外,教育部长王乙康也透露,有些家长也写信给教育部质询为何要在23日开课。 对此,王乙康也在脸书上发长文解释,开课背后的三大考虑。他表示,如今也有研究证明,武汉冠状病毒(COVID-19)对于年轻人的影响不如成年人,如同水痘对年轻人的影响。 引述国大、世卫组织专家说法 多数年轻患者都是因为家里或学校以外的缘故被感染,他也引述新加坡国立大学医学部主任、世卫组织全球疫情和警报响应网络主席费舍尔(Dale Fisher)的说法,学生如今能够上学可能会更安全,因为他们会与同侪一起相处而不是与到其他社区闲晃,增加感染机率。 其次,延长关闭时间也会打乱许多家庭的日常生活,尤其是前线工作人员,以及无法找到协助或保姆的父母。 “学校采取更多预防措施” 王乙康也向家长保证,学校会采取更多预防措施,保证学生的安全,若出现任何不适症状,如喉咙痛或咳嗽,学生也将立即被送回家进行隔离。 针对3月初到海外旅游的学生或教职人员,也已发出缺席假通知。同时学校也会在学校门口再三确定学生的旅行史。 另一方,课外活动与校外活动也将暂停,学生待在教室内,教室内的桌椅也将分开进行安全隔离,并随时留意他们的卫生。 对于王乙康的解释,许多网民纷纷斥责学业难道比命还重要吗?也有网民认为学校内除了学生,还有其他教职人员,甚至有些学生会搭乘公共交通,所以难以避免,应该先实施停课。…
