I feel that in this time and age and especially living in singapore, a place that is getting more and more expensive, its good to be more financially savvy especially for people without financial backgrounds.
I hope to buy the book and its not just to support Mr Leong but also to learn something that will benefit myself.
Thanks to our TOC writers for preparing such an event and spending their precious weekend for the people.
It takes 2 hands to clap. While I will attend, I hope viewers who could not attend will help spread the message about the event to all their colleagues and friends and family.
I hope saturday events be held at HL park so that the people can benefit from such activities.
Singaporeans are passive for too long. We need a strong injection of Activism.
Viva la Activism!
This event will rock! Mr. Leong is definitely an interesting character. I anticipate the launch of his book!
Mr Leong is a rare talent of Singapore.
I pray he will be the chosen one.
I pray he remain true to himself from now till eternity.
Too few talents have voiced up for the people. They choose to keep mum and ignore social issues by not voicing on behalf of the people when they are in the position to do so, having the power and knowledge and experience to do so.
I hope he does not like moles.
to clarfiy , Moles are any of various small insectivorous mammals, esp. of the family Talpidae, living chiefly underground, and having velvety fur, very small eyes, and strong forefeet.
with more power, there is more responsiblity.
Mr Leong can be a good MP if he can take part in the GE 2011.
Singapore does not lack talents who can speak for the people and help the people with their knowledge and comments on social issues.
Too many have shy’ed away from doing their ‘NS’ due to ….se.f prese..va…tion.
Social Issues can affect our Pockets. I believe once singaporeans learn that social issues affect them DIRECTLY and directly on their pockets, only then will they wake up.
