    Dr Chee has got a very good educational background like my gifted son sent by the Lord Jesus Christ to my family. He was never interested in money at all like my son.He speaks very good English.I really like him.I will vote him into parliament. He is a good son that Jesus loves most.Amen

    What’s SDP proposed constructive solutions for the issues raised? What pro-active actions on the ground to alleviate the situations, so that Singaporeans are willing to take up blue collar jobs etc?

    Immigration, jobs and rising cost of living and homes and the quality of life and ever increasing cost of living and less stressful living standards that we should address. These are truly issues caused by an expensive government bent on enriching themselves and their crony loyalists to remain in power. It is time to take them to task now and place them where they belong. All the old PAP were good and well intentioned save one who had higher designs. In time the truth will surface somewhere, somehow.
