The Workers’ Party East Coast GRC team, including @fooseckguan.sg and @abdulshariff.sg , was out and about on this sunny National Day at the various markets and locations in EC – 58, 85, 216, 16, Bedok Interchange and Simei. East Coast GRC residents were cheered by patriotic and celebratory vibes as flags were distributed to stallholders, children and the elderly. We wish all Singaporeans and Singapore residents a very happy National Day, and the most-exchanged goodwill greeting of the day – May you be happy and healthy always!

Hammer sale at Kovan 209 market today, in the ward of MP @sylvialim65 . The market was bustling with good food and long queues! Had the pleasure of walking with Marine Parade GRC candidate @fadli_fawzi and seasoned WP veterans. Following which, had to make the best of a precious Sunday by bringing the eldest out for a swim. Wishing all a restful National Day weekend. Kovan 209 Market & Food Centre
During the media doorstop at the Worker’s Party National Day dinner, I was asked to provide some updates on East Coast GRC. We have an ongoing slate of activities that includes HDB house visits, landed estate visits, market walkabouts, food distribution and community initiatives like free haircuts and BlueCycle. Since 2020, we have grown from strength to strength with more new volunteers coming from within East Coast as residents of the area. I believe that more of them, especially younger Singaporeans, want to see a stronger WP showing. In order to do that, the work would have started not only in 2025, but right after 2020’s polling day. These efforts fall on the backs of both young and older volunteers, many of whom helped to soften the ground as they tirelessly walked alongside NCMP @perera.leon back in 2015 until today. Areas in East Coast used to be cold and unwilling to engage, but the sheer number of active, persistent, and diligent volunteers amidst the lack of fanfare or benefits have helped us to pave the way for future elections. As @fooseckguan.sg rightfully pointed out in his own post, it is the unseen sacrifice, blood, sweat, tears, family/personal time on the backs of several volunteers who are truly our unsung heroes of the team.
This similarly applies to the larger base of WP volunteers who painstakingly put this dinner together year after year, barring covid limitations. Months of planning goes on behind the setup of such a large scale event, from things such as ensuring that the tentage scaffolding is set up properly, to coordinating the sales of tickets, taking care of merchandise and even the manpower stacking chairs before and after the event. It takes a village and it is only with this selfless village that we are able to sustain our efforts and the impact made. Hougang, Singapore

Another active weekend for the WP East Coast team and @fooseckguan.sg at 216 and 85 markets, while @abdulshariff.sg led a BlueCycle donation to a rental flat recipient.
Spoke to a number of millennials during the 216 market visits and had good discussions on inflation, cost of living and education. On education, resident A had spent a good number of years overseas with a successful career in a top management consulting firm. However when he came back to Singapore and tried applying to a few government-linked positions, he was questioned on his weak math scores in secondary school. We agreed that there should be multiple pathways to success and Singaporeans who have thrived in spite of the rigidity of the system should not be penalised or faulted for past failures. Such mechanisms have a tendency to trickle down into our social mores as well, where a general segment of the populace might deem individuals unworthy if they do not meet “brand-name” paper qualifications and credentials, in spite of richer life experiences and career success otherwise.
On inflation, we communicated to residents that a lot of the factors resulting in price hikes are out of the government’s control, and it is not right for us to blame the upper power echelons as it were. However, there are certain measures that the WP has continued to champion and that includes slowing the rate of growth of the reserves and the timing of the GST hike, as well as calls to recognise the burden such price hikes and increased taxation (such as carbon taxes for example) would enforce on the middle class. I maintain that we are committed to being a responsible opposition party that does not have the intention of being anti-government, rather we will raise important issues of the day and strive for balanced views on the policies that affect us.
