If people wish to contribute to a forum to provide a balanced view, they can do it as a concerned citizen. There is no need to identify themselves as members of any political party. It is more important for us to contribute to the democratic development in a social oriented manner instead of a party oriented manner. Once the general public are motivated to more actively involve in politics, they will find the suitable party to join. You will never know if some members of some political party are already in your midst doing the job. Eugene,

I do think that Workers Party Youth Wing has done very well especially in the PM's Ward. congrats to them. I myself is a supporter of them! What I am saying is that in forums always the opposition party is critised but often no voice is heard coming from them... that is why I invited the young wp members to participate in the forum to balance up the stakes.. haha Dear guys and girls,

Hi Eugene,

Would you like to consider joining a opposition party, like the Reform Party Mr JBJ is setting up, and help the public to know of its existence and outreach activities way before elections time?

Several WP members have their own blogs. Refer to the first picture. On the extreme right in front, Perry Tong and the one behind him, Melvin Tan, are bloggers with the best blogs around.

I am sure we don't have to elaborate to you how contrained the opposition is - from monetary funding to media coverage, from channels to attract new members to not having free and fair elections. And from having to do what they can with the little money that they collect through their town councils while PAP wards continue to be funded by taxpayers via govt "upgrading funds". Do more? I think that it is very commendable for the WP Youth Wing to do what they have - despite all these constraints. Now let me ask you. How come none of the mainstream media reported on this event? Do more? Pur-leaseeee. My dear Eugene,

Can you NTUC do something about our workers instead of playing politics for PAP? That's not your job! Eugene the NTUC proxy is trying to fish for information in opposition.

Keep going on and on. Do not be discouraged by any saboteurs. Singapore seriously need more people like you. We will do our part too, when the time is riped. Need not visit the youngntuc forum. It is not different from the youngpap forum. Visit STOMP and Hardzone forum to get some ideas of what people are thinking over there but don't participate in it. Just monitor and make use of them as a source of information. All my best wishes and Good Luck! Reformers of the Old for the Young. Well done, WP Youth Wing! Keep going on and on. Do not be

I think the better way is for individuals to spread the message of the importance of democracy and the need of democratic reforms via blogs and forums. Those who agree with the message can visit the political parties or their website to know them and decide if they want to get involved.
