Politically apathetic youth? Not this 18-year-old

He won’t be able to vote at this year’s General Election but Mr Ho Jun Wei, 18, has been actively following the last nine days of campaigning.

CNA first bumped into Mr Ho outside the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council branch on Nomination Day (April 23) morning, where he was collecting autographs from WP potential candidates.

Tonight, he proudly shows me he’s got all but four signatures from WP’s central executive committee, with WP’s former secretary-general, Mr Low Thia Khiang, among those missing.

Speaking to me again at Blk 322 Hougang Avenue 5, he said he had wanted to pop by the coffeeshop that’s become the “unofficial” home ground for WP supporters after first reading about it on CNA’s live blog during GE2020. The young Singaporean has also attended rallies organised by both the ruling PAP party and the opposition parties WP and SDP.

“I was also hoping to follow the politicians around on walkabouts but I was a little busy in school,” said Mr Ho.

The 18-year-old student describes himself as a political “moderate” with a huge interest in local politics, especially regarding what parties have to say with about bread and butter issues, such as cost of living and housing affordability.

“This will be important when I finally get to vote,” he said.

My wish list:

1. The Gov continues to look at the healthcare as priority. It affects everyone (regardless of age)
- from waiting for beds.. healthcare workers...aging population, high premiums and continue to go up..
- as i mentioned in another thread, many were said on GST and tariffs but the most pressing issues is healthcare. SG already spending 20+ billions per year and this number is climbing each year.
- Nurses and docs so busy fighting fire in A&E.. I have seen helpers changing diapers and cleaning up the patients folks. For the patients with no helpers, continue to wait (pee, poop, eat..)
- Working adults will have difficulties to handle that task. So, they have to rely on their helpers.


2. Education. Look into higher quota for Singaporeans. Prepare them to be able to compete & stay competitive against other countries, in years to come. Many focus on PSLE, O levels.

Look at public transport to the local universities. To reduce the travelling time.

Eg. NUS and NTU located in the West side.
Those staying in the Tampines, Pasir Ris, Punggol, Sengkang... the travelling time.

Many are staying in hostels but the vacancies is limited.
