For the info of those who doesn't understand Teochew, Mr Low's Teochew is seriously scholarly standard. I suspect there aren't many, even in the Teochew part of Mainland China , can speak this kind of level. For those who understood, just one word -SHIOK! Btw, those who comment that mainland China speaks very good dialects must have been living in an alternative universe. China is now implementing the gradual removal of the dialect, discouraging it's use, in favour of the Putong Hua (普通話)。
So good to hear a speech in Teochew. The pioneer and baby boomer generations really miss our dialects, our true mother tongues. LTK can really connect with the people. Realy love those Teochew phrases like : 'tah kau ki kee ka ki peh' (talk abiut a flag and a pole). He also mentioned in a light hearted way about the 'ngeow cher sua' (rat hill, ie. the Bukit Batok hill rat infestation). This is really heartland talk. The ruling party do not have anyone who can speak dialects fluently and match the opposition parties, that's why they strongly suppressed it since the late seventies. It's not because it interferes with learning of mandarin.
Mr Low, I will miss you now that you step down as secretary general of WP. I am sure you will continue to serve people of Singapore as a representative to speak on behalf of Singapore policies. Even as backbencher, you will continue to pass your political experiences and guide and encourage younger representatives of WP to come forward to serve Singapore interest. Hope WP continue to speak on behalf of majority Singaporean interest. We will continue to support the new secretary general Pritam Singh, chairman Sylvia Lim and all WP MP and members to speak and represents Singaporeans of all walk of lives. Perservere and fight on for good cause and better future of Singapore...
Looser should be graceful and accept the result. Not handling proper is one thing sabotage is very low blow. This shows what kind of people we are dealing with. They are personal..........
dear worker's party. Can put subtitles for his teochew part? i really love hearing him speak teochew, but cannot understand teochew. id prefer chinese subtitles. maybe u can put both english and chinese subtitles.
+Shila Kassim don't worry, sure have, but I think its a good move on his part to speak in teochew to reach out to the masses especially to the pioneer generation whom many only understand dialects =)
+pianorokr Basically he's saying the incumbent is playing politics with regards to TC issues, like MND funding and handover, and if AHPETC accounts really breaches any statutory laws they would have been charged and imprisoned accordingly, where got such thing as let you be?
+Yap Veronica rally ran out of time (closed at 10pm sharp) so he didnt have the chance to make the mandarin speech. tmrw another rally coming up in boon keng.
+Vizo Linz 郎 means man, whilst 儂 means people, right? When a Teochew meets another Teochew, we like to call ourselves as ga gi nang, which means "own people". So it must be 儂 instead of 郎。
Dialects are discouraged for a reason. By speaking a minority dialect, he is only making himself appealing to a small group of people, old people those are.
When Singaporeans are enjoying first world economy , first class healthcare , top security, there are peoples in many third world countries are struggling in severe poverty, illnesses, hunger. Don't blame HDB for not be able to provide you a flat if you are reluctant to earn a family income of more than one thousand dollars. As we are considering whether to have abalone or century eggs teochew mue for dinner, don't blame the supplier for not be able to supply once in while. When the refugees are fleeing from their homelands preparing for a long march by foot, not even sure whether can survive long enough to reach the unknown destinations, please don't blame our MRT out of service once in a while. When the number one country in the world is having frequent gunshots, citizens are advised to stay home after nine in the evening , we are enjoying 24 hours free and save environment. When there are billions peoples are having difficulties in getting drinking water, don't kaube kaubu for not be able to buy alcoholic drinks after 10 in the evening. We are thousand times better than people in many third Word countries. Please be thankful for the good deeds done for us, please be forgiving others for not be able to meet up to our desires once in a while. Be kind enough to give more than take so that we will have surpluses left behind for the needy. Hi, fellows great Singaporeans! Don't ask more than we need. We are blessed enough already .
***** In singapore , there are many organizations ever ready to hear genuine grievances. There are many volunteers out there to guide to support the neady too. Unfortunately the ways are more than often being masked and abused by the smart Alex, resulting in unnecessary delay for those deserved.
joophoon tong you think u are bless enough that your problem... everyone have their right to have their own opinion also... nth wrong with that! Doesn't mean what u say everyone have to agree. All the while is only your point of view only. How they want to behave wheather u like it anot, is still their opinion. Every human have many kind of suffer maybe u dun feel it... but doesn't that mean that other dun face it?
Its so easy to dig and criticise the PAP government and to broad brush WP's own mistakes. Looking into the context of things, did WP raise any ruckus in Parliament if they were unable to take over AHEPTC accounts smoothly in 2011? To wait until irregularities had been found and to cry foul over handover process is a perfect excuse for being incompetent or worse still to cover the questionable payment process between AHEPTC and FMSS. WP, the least you should do is to stir the emotions of the resident with half truth. Let us know which country in the world we should model our country and political system against? Taiwan, Malaysia or even UK? Even for UK, do you know their strategic strengths and our strategic weaknesses? The way we go, SG100 will not be a cause for celebration but reflection on what we did wrong to bring Singapore (if it still exist) from a Great Country to a vassal state of our neighbours.
Dear Indian messiah, I am not a brainwashed Singaporean. I am well read, well travelled and know what is real and what is hot air. To compare Singapore political system or PAP to india political parties is, in my view quite apt because Singapore is exactly the opposite to the kind of democratic chaos faced by India. We are thus able to move forward with decisive and sound decisions in the last 50 years rather than entangled with corruptions, popularised politics and class divides facing India. However, India is blessed with size, resource and a deep history. Singapore has done of those!
+indian messiah then pls ask your fellow Indians to stay in your developed country with annual growth of 8%. Don't come Singapore to earn our money.. our country don't grow at 8%..so please, don't put your face to shame by coming here..ok INDIAN MESSIAH.
Kwa pin guan u so capable then u stand up, dun say people talk only... u not that capable, but u are saying people that trying to voice out of people in need and left behind. If u are not even his standard then I am sorry u have totally no right at all to say him...
excellent speech! when they took over in 2011, things were really made difficult... and now still making them difficult... All e best WP.

On your 2nd point, I was referring to LTK! Everyone knows the standard of Teochew is SG, you're not the only genius, lol.

statistics had shown that the baby boomers are the stupidest generation of all time
潮州人自己人,听了就很亲切，很爽！

Choose to defend themselves outside of Parliament where they don't have to answer any questions.
WP = Winning party! Empower your future
Mr LTK said the PAP 大声不准 .......he forgot to add " ko mao tun "
潮州 ： 大声不准更矛盾...........！
Looser should be graceful and accept the result. Not handling proper is one thing sabotage is very low blow. This shows what kind of people we are dealing with. They are personal..........
Mr Low articulates himself best in Teochew. Should debate like this in parliament. hehe
自家人 :)
我们不需要冷气的巴士转换站，然后来起我们，只要有巴士上的冷气就够了。只要各种shopping food court,各种商店，咖啡店不要召标到这么高价，我们就不用花费高。又少又不好吃。需要两公婆出来工作。不是每个人都賺很多。孩子照顾不到便判逆。薪水还是跟十多年前一样，$1000到$1500，扣cpf
说得好，我赞同你。
其实我跟本都不觉得一个繁荣的国家也不需要什么东西都一直起价。我们睡觉一起床， 就要每天都面对债，房债，hp 债，车债，人人都喘不过气来。需要一直起价吗?不可能不起就不是一个繁荣的国家
dear worker's party. Can put subtitles for his teochew part? i really love hearing him speak teochew, but cannot understand teochew.
id prefer chinese subtitles. maybe u can put both english and chinese subtitles.
where is the english part??
+Shila Kassim don't worry, sure have, but I think its a good move on his part to speak in teochew to reach out to the masses especially to the pioneer generation whom many only understand dialects =)
Good day 🎉🎉
Steady ❤
anyone can b kind enough to translate =/ the important parts?
+pianorokr Basically he's saying the incumbent is playing politics with regards to TC issues, like MND funding and handover, and if AHPETC accounts really breaches any statutory laws they would have been charged and imprisoned accordingly, where got such thing as let you be?
Where's the Mandarin one? :/
if got subtitles better right
+Yap Veronica rally ran out of time (closed at 10pm sharp) so he didnt have the chance to make the mandarin speech. tmrw another rally coming up in boon keng.

👍I agree with you ura also double standard.👍
This is the type of leader Singapore needs. Down to earth and no bull shit like PAP.
hoho tah liao ho si
don't understand teochew....
潮州人自己人 嘿喲嘿喲
家己人
+Vizo Linz Actually, 郎 is pronounced as neng or lang in Teochew.
Therefore, the correct word for "nang" should be 儂。Ga gi nang = 家己儂。
+Vizo Linz 郎 means man, whilst 儂 means people, right? When a Teochew meets another Teochew, we like to call ourselves as ga gi nang, which means "own people". So it must be 儂 instead of 郎。

我忍你很久了!!! Hahaha
LTK looks like a Chinese gangster head lol.
this is ah beng party.投ＳＤＰ一票.
When you can call it an Ah Beng Party, firstly you're not a native Teochew speaker who understands the scholarly level of teochew he's speaking.
Its so easy to dig and criticise the PAP government and to broad brush WP's own mistakes.

Well ah neh is right that PAP is third world. Ah neh should know since he's from the third world and belongs there.
