My 1st time attending a Rally

I attended rally for the 1st time in my life yest at Serangoon Stadium..Its the Worker' Party Rally and after missing the 1st nite as I was in Msia, I decided to go for this while Mr Love is away in Sch..Msg my bro and asked him whether he wanna go with me, to my surprise, he agreed! He seldom wanna go out with me frm young..Guess this is a trait of all elder bro, seeing their younger sis as brats..

Reached the stadium at 6.30pm and I had previously was naive enuff to think we would get a sit, so i wore a demin skirt, but to my dismay, the seats were all taken up!!No even any space to go up to the stands lo...Even the field is starting to fill with plp..So in the end, we found a spot and stood at the edge of the field, allowing us to sit on the track..


Stands full at 6.30pm...

Luckily I brought papers with me and was able to sit down and make myself comfortable while waiting for the Rally to start..Rally started at 7.15pm and the 1st speaker was abit boring.He was not able to stir up emotions among the crowd and seriously I wasnt really paying attention to what he was speaking..


By 7pm, crowd becomes more packed...

2nd speaker was Png Eng Huat for East Coast GRC..This, is a better speaker, his speech on the various issues that the citizens faced where precisely what was on my mind..The FT issue, our over crowded public transport, even on the point of differeniating citizens and PRs was raised..He got the crowd cheering in between his speech when he hit some raw nerve..

He is right, before 2009, there was not much of a difference if you are a citizen or a PR here, maybe except the PR dun get to buy 1st hand flats and the get the Growth Dividends (if any). Other than that, they pay the same school fees as us, they enjoy our medical subsidies, and heck, they even get the same chances to get into the choice of sch as us..So what is the difference between a citizen n and PR? Moreover, after njoying all these benefits, these plp packed their bags after a fews here n goes back to their country and njoy life and we are left struggling here..

Remember the co driver that PM Lee mentioned? This is WP driving license..

 Speaker after speaker, I waited patiently for Mr Low Thia Kiang to come on stage to deliver his speech. The previous day, he made some interesting comment, witty and smart to counter attack the comments by PAP. I have to admit, he is the reason why I choose to attend WP's rally. Afterall, WP seems to be the most likely party to win the oppositions' 1st GRC..

At 8pm, the stadium was even more packed den out MRT...  

 
However, as they brought out the various issues, the disappointing is they didnt offer the solutions also..As I discussed this with Mr Love, he made a good point on this, they have not been elected yet, perhaps they just do not wan to make any empty promises? Come to think of it, it maybe rite at this point of time..I guess, we muz vote them in and see what they can do..Else,  5 yrs later kick them out..Afterall, we the Singaporean are empowered with this right to vote..

After Mr Low's speech, bro and I left as we do not wan to be caught in the human jam, even leaving the stadium was a chore itself..Took us a good 10min to squeeze our way out..There are still alot of plp who do not have a chance to get into the stadium, instead, they stood outside and listen to the broadcast..Brought their hammer newsletter at 5bucks, I rememebered distinctively, when I was beri young, maybe at 6 or 7, I brought 1 copy for JBJ in West coast market at onli 50cents or 1 dollar..whaha Dad haven given me the monies to ask me go buy..Talked about inflations...I shall attend other rally when I got the time..heheh

As we left the stadium at 9.30...
