Following Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s announcement that parliament has been dissolved and Nomination Day for GE2020 is set for 30 June and Polling Day on 10 July, the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) is asking people to come forward as volunteers during the election.

In a Facebook post on both the party’s official Facebook page as well as the Facebook page of party secretary general Dr Tan Cheng Bock, PSP sent out a call for volunteer Polling Agents and Campaign Workers.

The party explained, “The Polling Agents represent the candidates at the Polling Stations to ensure that elections are conducted in a free and fair manner. Campaign workers will help in the distribution of flyers on walkabouts.”

It was also noted that Parliamentary Election Laws permit only Singaporeans to participate in any election activity.

Those interested in volunteering for PSP can do so by signing up here.

Yesterday (23 June), Dr Tan said in a press conference that his party will be concentrating its efforts in wards in the western side of Singapore, confirming that the PSP will be contesting in the West Coast, Chua Chu Kang, and Tanjong Pagar GRCs as well as the Hong Kah North, Marymount, Pioneer, Yio Chu Kang, Kebun Baru SMCs.

慈善组织14日办拾荒者生活体验活动 民主党前进党响应

上月中旬,“乐于助人”组织邀请各党组织派出代表,参加“穿上他的鞋走一英里” (A Mile In Their Shoes)活动。除了先前已允诺参与的民主党外,前进党也答允参与。 “乐于助人”组织表示他们尚在等候其他受邀党团组织的回复。受邀单位包括人民行动党、工人党、新加坡民主党、人民党、国民团结党、革新党、新加坡进步党、以及人民力量党等。 活动定于本月14日进行,该组织表示,为提升群众和政治领袖,对年长拾荒者困境的醒觉,广邀朝野政党参与他们即将举办的有关活动,以期将来能在国会为拾荒者们发声。 为此活动,该组织也将在Give.Asia开设不同的账户,让民众可以捐款支持心属政党,而每个账户所筹集的款项将会平均分派给该党的纸皮收集者。 这将是别开生面的活动:试想想由每个参与活动的政治人物,由一位拾荒长者陪伴,指导他们如何收纸皮,亲身体验这些群体每日的生活和辛劳。主办方将全程录制活动过程,观察参与者与拾荒者之间的互动。
