The Singapore People’s Party (SPP) chairman Jose Raymond took to his Facebook on Monday (6 July) to deliver a message to the residents in Joo Seng.

Speaking in a video, Mr Raymond – who will be contesting at Potong Pasir SMC – gave his word that he is determined to ensure their needs are all attended effectively and with lots of heart.

“I am determined to ensure that your needs are all attended to. We will also work together to ensure that our dreams for the community will always materialize.

“The days where Joo Seng was kicked around like a political football are now over. And you are now home in Potong Pasir SMC. The days that you needed to queue up for hours to meet your MP twice a month are now gone. As I mentioned at my first rally and have informed you personally, I will attend your needs effectively and with lots of heart.”

The SPP chairman went on to say that he has their back, adding that he has met many of the residents in Joo Seng to the point he feels connected to them for a long time already.

“I have seen you, I hear you and let me tell you that I have your back. Now that I have met so many of you, I feel like we have known each other for a long time.”

While expressing his gratitude to the residents who welcomed him and his team, Mr Raymond also promised that he will never ever take their hospitality and warm embrace for granted.

“Many of you have opened your door, showered me and my volunteers with drinks and even lozenges. To the family who waited for me last night and gave me a rousing welcome, I salute all of you. To the lady who was returning from work who took our flag and left it outside as your symbol of hope, I salute you.

“I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve such warmth, but I promise that I will never ever take this for granted. You have shared your concerns, your dreams and your hopes with me. Some have also shared specific concerns in relation to the estate that my team and I have already been applying our minds to.”

In his video message, Mr Raymond also stated that the SPP will “harness technology and the ideas of building the community” to make Joo Seng a better place.

He concluded by assuring the residents – old and new – that they have “found a voice and a friend” in him.

“You may be new to Potong Pasir SMC, but believe me when I say that you are now part of the greater Potong Pasir family, which includes Sennett Estate, Bidadari, Tai Seng, Mount Vernon Road and MacPherson Green. In me, you have found a voice and a friend.

“Together let’s welcome a new dawn for Joo Seng.”

媒体揣测前空军军官傅丽珊 料披“白衣”上阵来届选举

根据《联合早报》专访报导,“揣测”武装部队奖学金得主、前空军中队指挥官傅丽珊,有可能代表人民行动党在来届选举上阵。 报导指出,傅丽珊刚在去年11月,受委为人民行动党三巴旺支部副主席。此后曝光率频频,两个月后先后在许文远和安宁·阿敏这两位三巴旺集选区议员的面簿贴文上亮相;今年1月的社区活动上与四位三巴旺集选区议员同框。 此外,她也成为立国一代配套宣传与联系工作小组一员,还要协助筹备三巴旺集选区首个大型妇女节庆祝活动。 这则报导指三巴旺基层领袖傅丽珊,近期这么高的曝光率,为人们留下“想象空间”,认为她下届大选就会以“白衣人”身份出征。 “如有机会,必全力以赴” 她在受媒体追问时也指出:“基层服务很有意义,让我很有满足感,如果我的确能担起议员责任,我会全力以赴。” 获得武装部队奖学金,傅丽珊毕业自美国伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳—香槟分校(University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign),拥有机械工程和经济双学位。在1999年进入空军担任直升机飞行员。 根据傅丽珊的社交群Linkedin的个人履历,可见她在空军中的优越表现。她曾在国防部担任助理总监,负责“检视武装部队的组织结构和关键能力”,负责检讨国防预算的分配、颠覆性科技、情景规划、风险评估等,关键成果乃是引领第三代武装部队的转型过程。…
