Nicole Seah – the 24 year-old Singaporean who made a big hoo-ha on the news recently, especially Facebook, delivered her speech at NSP’s first rally last night.
Despite many comments or rather sneers from the online community about Nicole Seah being too emotional in her speech, or all talk and no action, I’m still in awe as she’s willing to take up a challenge, which few Singaporeans dare to do so, which is to speak up for the people.

Our GST increased to 7%. They say they want to help the poor, well let me tell you something. 1.9 billion dollars was generated from the increase. But only 0.4 BILLION DOLLARS was distributed to the poor. WHERE DID THE REST OF THE MONEY GO?
Since when did public housing became so expensive? Now, couples are settling down at a later age because they do not want the burden of the huge debt to pay off their houses. Public housing indeed. The NSP promises compassionate lower prices for 1st time home owners, and we will not use upgrading as a carrot to win Singaporeans over.
Singaporeans, this is your money. So can someone remind us why we are still so scared of the PAP? We are not scared anymore! And we will not be afraid! So I ask you one thing, for the next 5 years, do you want a fresh coat of paint in your void deck or do you want a voice to speak up for you in parliament?
Vote for the party that will speak up for you. Not the one that threatens you with fear. Because You, the Singaporeans deserves to be heard! Continue reading
