GE2011 2nd day rally ~ SPP's Chiam See Tong at Hong Kah North
I have great respect for this man, fighting on despite his age and health
~ Iamwonderstruck
This is what I call a true man. A man who will not relent, despite any conditions or obstacles he faces, just so we can have our voices heard by the nation.
A true Singaporean who have stood up for fellow Singaporeans, and will stand up for all of us. All the things he stood up for, not for his own benefits, but ALWAYS for us singaporeans. He is the voice that will speak up for us, in the past, right now and definately in the future.
I'll always support you Mr Chiam!

~ An ardent supporter breaks down upon meeting Mr Chiam See Tong
For one man in his 60s, it was just too much to bear.
Moments after the Singapore People's Party's (SPP) first General Election rally at Jurong West ended on Friday, he was so moved by secretary-general Chiam See Tong's speech that he began to tear.
The man cried as he shook Mr Chiam's hand and said, "I feel so happy for you that I am crying. I hope you win."
Others added more words of encouragement, including one who said, "We need more people like you."
Indeed, many in the estimated 1,200-strong crowd had come just from across the island -- some from as far as Woodlands --just to hear Singapore's longest-serving opposition MP speak.
Crane operator Nizam, 26, who stays in Choa Chu Kang, attended the rally even though he would not have the opportunity to vote for the SPP, which will be contesting only in Hong Kah North SMC, Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC and Potong Pasir SMC.
"I came down to see Mr Chiam, because I wanted to see him in person, to hear him speak. He's a great man," he said.
"He's a legend," added Hanizah Zaini, 27, a customer service officer. "It's amazing that he is still here (and standing for election again), against all odds."
The most poignant moment of the night came when Mr Chiam -- hunched and bowed by old age and the lasting effects of a stroke -- took to the stage.
Even as the audience chanted his name, the Potong Pasir MP for the last 27 years said humbly, "You give me more applause than I deserve."
Explaining his decision why he's contesting another election at the age of 76, the former lawyer said, "I am not actually a brave man. But I love Singapore and I love Singaporeans."
Speaking in a slow, measured voice, he said that the opposition is the essence of democracy and that the government needs to be more transparent and accountable.
Urging the audience to make their vote count, he said, "Every one of us can take part in politics. I can assure you that nothing will happen to you; I am a living example you can follow."
The crowd responded and at one point, a resident called out, "Mr Chiam, you don't have to speak. We will vote for you!" while others applauded to show encouragement.
During the rally, Chiam's wife Lina -- who will be taking over her husband to contest in Potong Pasir -- also delivered her maiden speech.
Acknowledging that she was more well-known as "Mrs Chiam See Tong", she was determined to stand on her own two feet.
"My name is Mrs Lina Chiam, not Mrs Chiam See Tong. I am my own person, and I will do things my own way," she declared to resounding cheers.
Mrs Chiam, 62, also revealed some of the trials Mr Chiam faced as an opposition MP.
This included an incident where Mr Chiam planted a tree that was given to him as a gift, but it was uprooted and killed with acid by unknown enemies—a story that even her fellow SPP candidates themselves were unaware of.

Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC candidate Benjamin Pwee later told Yahoo! Singapore he was "completely touched by the Chiams", while his teammate Jimmy Lee was inspired by the stories shared on the night.
"I now have renewed strength for the coming week," Lee said.

Pwee himself took to the podium earlier in the night and spoke passionately about the need for voters to overcome their fear of voting for the opposition.
The former government scholar shared that he had battled fear for the longest time, eventually telling himself that "if (he was) going to step out, it has to be for the people."
Addressing comments made previously that voting for the opposition was akin to making a ship sink, he responded, "Which opposition candidate will put everything on the line to bring this ship down?"
~ Enthusiastic supporters cheer the SPP candidates on as they speak
Despite the night of drama and rhetoric, however, the question remains how and if residents will be swayed to vote for the SPP or the PAP.
Hong Kah North SMC resident Linda Tan, 30, remains ambivalent despite the events of the night, having attended the rally to translate what was said to her parents, whom she lived with.
"They (the candidates) brought up a few things, but I will need time to digest what has been said here, as well as to listen to what the PAP candidate has to say," she said.

GE2011 2nd day rally ~ worker party @ Seragoon stadium 29 April
~ Workers’ Party chief slams GRC system
Workers' Party (WP) chief Low Thia Kiang has attacked the government's Group Representation Constituency (GRC) system, saying it serves the ruling party's self-interest, and not the voters.
As the battle for the hearts and minds of Aljunied GRC voters heats up, he told an estimated-30,000 crowd at Serangoon stadium on Friday, "There's nothing more against the spirit of democracy than the GRC."
Calling for a "breakthrough" this election, he argued that the GRC system, introduced in 1988, "served the PAP's self-interest and not the voters".
"Let me tell you, if no opposition is able to break through the GRC, you will be forever shackled by the system. The PAP will continue to govern, and to bully you without having to account to you all," he said.
Low countered the PAP's explanation that the scheme is meant to ensure minority-race candidates make it into Parliament by citing the example of the late Joshua Benjamin Jeyaratnam.
More commonly known as JBJ, he was voted in during the 1981 Anson by-election by a Chinese majority constituency.
"No PAP minority -race candidate was voted out as a result of Singaporeans voting along racial lines," Low said.
Referring to his own experience, he said he could have won his first election in 1988 when he contested in Anson, but when it merged to be part of a newly created three-member GRC known as Tiong Bahru GRC -- which included Henderson and Tiong Bahru wards -- he lost.
"Tiong Bahru delivered over 70 per cent support for the PAP... I lost the election," he said.
Since then, he added that the GRC system is "like a rubber band", that it could keep growing from three members in 1988, to four in 1991 , and to six by 1997.
"Like a rubber band, a GRC can stretch all the way from Marine Parade to Serangoon Central," he said, to much laughter from the audience.
Low urged first-time voters to cast their vote "not just wisely, but bravely, intelligently, and in a heartfelt manner".
Watch as Low addresses the crowd.
Party chairman Sylvia Lim, who spoke in Mandarin and English, also hit back at the ruling party's gerrymandering tactics.
"If the PAP really respects voters' needs and wishes, why does it keep re-drawing boundaries after every election, based on the voting results?" she asked.
"Why don't we ask the voters in Kaki Bukit, who have not moved house for 25 years but have been kicked around from Eunos GRC to Marine Parade and now Aljunied? Who is the one using voters as instruments to be chosen or discarded?" she said to the estimated 30,000 people at the rally.
She assured voters that even if Minister Yeo is not voted into Parliament, "his talents will not be lost". Instead, she said it would merely be an "early retirement" for the minister, who would have no problem finding a job in one of the government-linked companies or be an ambassador-at-large, she said.
"So don't think of voting for WP as voting against George Yeo. Think of it as helping him into early retirement," said Lim, who led the WP Aljunied team to win 43.9 per cent of the votes in GE 2006.
Lim also stressed on another key point in her speech: your vote is secret.
~ The Workers' Party's second GE rally packs the Serangoon stadium with tens of thousands of people
WP's star catch Chen Show Mao also took the stage to rebut Foreign Minister George Yeo's "secret weapon" comments published on Friday.
Minister Yeo, who leads the People's Action Party team that will go up against the WP's A-team led by WP chief Low and chairman Sylvia Lim in keenly-contest Aljunied, had said the WP was making use of the ward's 143,148 voters to push the opposition cause and that it was forcing an "emotional dilemma" on them.
"Voters of Aljunied GRC, we appreciate your kind consideration, but please, please first look after yourselves," Mao said.
"Ask before you vote, how can you make yourself better? How can you make your lives better? Please, go ahead don't be shy," he said, before stating, "We believe you will be better off if you vote Workers' Party."
Meanwhile, Aljunied GRC candidate Pritam Singh targeted his message at civil servants and youth.
To civil servants afraid of voting for the opposition, he said, "Please think again. The PAP did not give you your job, the civil service will not crumble just because the PAP loses a few ministers."
He also commended 20-year-old Low Peiying, whose article on why she signed up to volunteer with the WP, has made waves online.
He called on youths to take active interest in politics: "This is indeed your country, live your dreams here, take ownership of your country, be the change you want to make."
~ The crowd continues to cheer "Workers' Party" for about 15 minutes after the rally ends
A total of 10 candidates spoke on Friday evening, addressing issues such as the cost of living, accountability, housing and immigration.
This video was taken about 5 minutes after all the Workers' Party candidates have left the stadium, scene that you will not get to see on the main stream media. There are no buses to pick them. The crowd are from all ages, not the elderly from community club or RC!

Turnout @ first day of GE rally
If the outcome for this General Election was based purely on rally attendances, the Opposition would win hands down.
An estimated 2,500 people, many of whom were hardcore party supporters, turned up for the People's Action Party's (PAP) first rally for the 2011 General Election at the field beside Buangkok MRT station on Thursday evening.
That figure pales in comparison to the rallies for the Worker's Party in Hougang (estimated 20,000), in Geylang East for National Solidarity Party (estimated 5,000), in Clementi stadium for Reform Party (estimated 4,000) and near Commonwealth MRT for Singapore Democratic Party (estimated 10,000).
Nicole Seah at National Solidarity Patry's first rally
Over 15,000 people who turned up at the Workers' Party (WP) rally on Thursday night went home impressed after listening to Chen Show Mao's maiden speech.
This is the 1st Workers' Party rally in Hougang, taken at the end of the rally. The open field is totally fill up, which you will never get to see in our main media. The crowd keep streaming in upto the road side, across the road, HDB flat common balcony and even muti story carpark. Simply amazing!

I was at the hougang site and boy was it breathtaking! It was like a scene from the lord of the rings. Across the plateau, there were people everywhere. We were already more than 20,000 strong, yet people continued to pour in from every direction! It was like the Elves, the Dwarfs and Men all coming for one cause – to destroy Sauron! The morale was fantastic! If we were to go to war right now, nobody can stop us! Why was the turnout so fantastic, that probably WP did not expect too?
