00:00I think many of you have heard about the one for one narrative and in fact it is quite
00:10a strong narrative.
00:12Why not vote for the opposition party and the losing PAP candidate will continue to
00:18serve you as grassroots advisers and branch chairman.
00:22In fact recently there was a one plus one plus one narrative because as a grassroots
00:27adviser as branch chair you are working twice as hard.
00:33But if you think about it, you know, is this really the case?
00:38The opposition held wards, are the residents, are they better served than in the PAP held
00:45wards?
00:46Is your living environment better right now compared to when it was under PAP?
00:54In fact, it may be premature for me to review now but since the question was asked, one
01:00plus one may not necessarily be two.
01:04One plus one can be less than one.
01:07Why do I say that?
01:08Because in the opposition board where there are two different party representatives working
01:14together where there is actually conflict in policies, not working in coordination, there
01:20will be a drop in the efficiency and the outcome may be poorer.
01:26So I believe one plus one may not necessarily be two.
01:30In fact, one plus one can be less than one.
01:33I think we are under no delusion that winning back Sengkang GRC will be easy.
01:42We have never won back a GRC in the history of Singapore political history.
01:49It is not easy but no matter how difficult the journey may be or what the chances will be,
02:01I think one thing that we are very sure of is that we are very determined to try to win
02:06it back.
02:08That's why, you know, we have this refreshed slate, we have been working real hard on the
02:13ground, we are doing whatever we can so that eventually, hopefully residents can give us
02:20a chance and support us and bring us back to parliament.
02:25There are a lot of feedback for better connectivity.
02:28At other parts, they are quite happy, you know, with the level of connectivity to LRT.
02:34But that only means that one needs to spend a significant amount of time understanding
02:40what these unique nuances are in order to be ready to make a difference.
02:45My confidence is strong.
02:50Because I've spent the time to really understand the residents, to really get to know the residents,
02:56but not as a person who is out there to win elections, but as a friend, as a person who
03:02are, who is really concerned about making things better.
03:06The way that we've gone, I've approached it, was really to listen to residents and act and
03:16serve one family at a time.
03:18And if given a chance, I'd like to be that voice for them.
03:23Alright.
