WP Rally at Hougang
For a change, I went to the WP rally at Hougang last night.
When I reached there the rally had not started but the crowd was building up fast. By the time the rally started I was not able to see the field behind me as it was covered with people. The crowd was not only Singaporeans from all parts of Singapore but Hougang residents turning out as family units, father, mother and their teenage kids, to support their MP and his party. The whole family would clap and cheer their MP and his members whenever they heard something they could relate to.
It was a real shame that none of our 3 online MSM reported about the huge turnout and its enthusiatic support for the WP.
Except for Gopal Krishnan, Lee Wai Leng and Goh Meng Seng, the theme of the rally for the speakers that night was on how to keep the healthcare cost low. Krishnan spoke of the neglect Indians faced when Hougang was under PAP while Lee poked fun on our "1st world status". Goh gave a 5-point rebuttal to Lee Hsien Loong's claim that PAP always deliver what they promise. Of the 5, I can only remember 2 which were the restoration of CPF cuts and the building of a hospital at Yishun.
All the speakers have good oratory skills. Even the young AMK contestant, Lee Wai Leng, was able to draw much cheering from her audience.
