[GE2025] SDP Discussion Thread

Thats why they not ruling party.
Now looks more woke wannabe IMO.

its not related to woke, its about logical thinking or doing work effectively..
if only SC allowed for volunteers, then this should be the first question.

if the answer is NO--then say sorry,, only SC allowed,

or simply just say clearly only SC are welcome in the first sentence ..

some will say I am IB so hard working... nvm..

I always had the impression that SPR got participate in GRL activities. SO i am guessing you can non citizen but still volunteer but not directly involved.

 

[GameBoyColour]

if you looking to volunteer can just try

i'd suggest other parties

did with SDP once many years ago out of curiosity, management of volunteers was a mess and wasted hours of my time, never helped them again

 

[SaintPeachie]

They need to appeal to non citizens who may become citizens in future.

 

[BlackWing1977]

I think only Sg citizen allowed in political activities ,including GE or non-GE political party activities .

why SDP ask "Are you a Sg Citizen " at last question to recruit volunteer ?

SDP should ask at first question! right ?

can anyone tell me pl

Foreigners I think can volunteer just that cannot be candidate for election nia...

Edited: No foreigners allowed to volunteer in any political party in Singapore, as corrected by @Emperor_Hippo

i think SDP is a pet of Chee.
all SDP activities is announced in Chee FB.
but SDP FB, the last political announcement is 6 Jan for 18 Jan volunteer meeting.
short of the volunteer form in my opening post..

no big no small.
SDP should not be a one man show. but reality , it is..
you now see why they never become a threat to men in white

[congster2]

[archie7]

[crandfs]

Because the bottom line is whether you are a Singaporean

 

[gonewiththesmart]

Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act 2021 is very clear that no foreigner is allowed in political party volunteers! Why SDP volunteer form designed in this way ?

[bombshell]

They also want to capture data of FTs.

Salah.

Foreigners totally cannot even volunteer for all political activities (directly or indirectly) unless they feel that they wanna cut short their stay here.

That is all.
