SDA Jalan Besar GRC Rally at Jalan Tenteram

Attended another SDA rally at Jalan Tenteram on May Day. As I was held up by the rain, I missed the annoucement of the job-matching portal, www.unemployment.cpm.sg, set up by SDA Tampines GRC candidates; and the speech by Steve Chia.

Most of the speakers I heard focused on jobs and town council issues. The leader of the team, Sebastian Teo, also made it a point to tell the audience that they were not short of talents. He stressed that they have professionals and successful businessmen in their team.

The candidates spoke relatively well as compared with those SDA peakers at Potong Pasir rally on 28 Apr 2006. The turnout, though, was smaller than Potong Pasir's probably because of the heavy downpour.

Straits Times Interactive gave quite a good and balanced coverage to this rally, while CNA carried a short article, "Swipes & sarcasm galore at SDA rally" that spotlighted the jabs made on the PAP by the SDA speakers. TODAY did not mention anythng on the rally.
