Anyone knows how the Malays in Tampines are feeling?

Saw somewhere they are 24% of the voters which is huge.

If WP fails to wrestle Tampines GRC despite Faisal Manap and his A team, I will be very surprise and speechless.

The WP team contesting against the PAP team in Tampines GRC appears to be stronger. The slate of candidates are even stronger than WP Aljunied and Sengkang team.

I am hoping for the best coming 4 May. If PAP retains Tampines GRC, it means WP can close shop as Singaporeans do not want any changes politically.
May the forth be with 10kkj :s34:

Quite challenging for him to carry 4 other persons, after CLH is no more and Desmond's area is split into a new SMC.
Agree. Tampines got 2 ground ppl, Handsome and CLH; other 2 can't really connect to the ground and too busy with other appointments. Without CLH, WP sure got fight.

‘Very promising candidate’: WP newcomer Michael Thng captivates netizens with impressive rally speech​


Michael Thng delivers impressive speech at WP rally​

The Workers’ Party (WP) held their second physical rally at Temasek Junior College on Saturday (26 Apr), but it was newcomer Michael Thng who stole the show.

The first-time General Election (GE2025) candidate for Tampines Group Representation Constituency (GRC) captivated supporters with a fiery, impassioned speech that further electrified the already charged atmosphere.

From the get-go, the 37-year-old made it clear what he and the WP stood for — daring Singaporeans to “dream big” and championing political diversity as a strength, not a weakness.

‘We don’t wanna be told that the sky is white when we see it is blue’: Thng​

A particular moment from his 10-minute speech has gone viral across social media, resonating deeply with voters across the island.
“We don’t wanna be told that the sky is white when we see it is blue,” Mr Thng declared, drawing cheers from the crowd.

“We don’t wanna be told that raising GST in the middle of record-high inflation is good policy when we know it could’ve been postponed,” he added.

“We don’t wanna be told that CDC vouchers will make it all okay, when we know it is just a band aid for a gaping wound.”

“We don’t wanna be told that hawker rental rates do not affect the food prices when we know that doesn’t make any sense.”

Using the collective “we”, Thng positioned himself firmly as a voice for the everyday Singaporean — unafraid to speak out against policies that feel out of touch with ground sentiments.

Thng emphasises political diversity​

Thng made it clear that the Workers’ Party was committed to real change, not just “catchy slogans or fancy showmanship”.
“The party has never accepted the false choices that were put forward by the PAP,” he said, stressing that Singapore could do better — particularly for groups like single mothers, lower-wage workers, and retrenched employees.

Rather than threatening political stability, he argued that diversity strengthens the system.

“We can build a system that is diverse without breaking it,” Thng asserted.

He praised the WP’s track record of pulling issues from the margins into the mainstream — and declared that it was exactly why he decided to step forward.


Netizens call Michael Thng a ‘very promising candidate’​

Since the rally, clips of Thng’s speech have been widely circulated online, racking up thousands of views.

One netizen named him a “very promising candidate” in the upcoming election.

Many were also quick to highlight his credentials — Thng holds a Master’s degree in Public Policy from the prestigious Harvard Kennedy School, with some noting that he would be an invaluable voice in Singapore’s political landscape.

“I’m sure he will be able to offer a lot to Singapore,” a commenter said.
