加油 (Go!) ….aunties give the thumbs up!
Time for change in Tanjong Pagar GRC
Singaporeans were warm towards SingFirst on Sunday 9 Nov 2014 morning as more than 20 of us went on our first walkabout around the Holland Drive Market and Food Centre in Tanjong Pagar GRC. The most enthusiastic among the residents were a group of aunties who urged us on, shouting “Do Not Fear” in Hokkien and telling us “应该了” (This needs to change) as they have had no chance to vote for a very long time.

It was a fitting end to our tour and chat with residents of about 2 hours that revealed other concerns such as whether they would ever get their CPF savings back when they retire and also their hope that opposition parties would avoid multi-cornered contests in the coming general election.
We rounded up the walkabout with an interview with the press.
