    You might have heard rumours that people living in the opposition wards experience slower upgrading of facilities. But is that true?
    We hit the streets to find out from residents living in Aljunied GRC.

    Why should opposition wards be deprived from upgrading? This shows the double standards of our government. After all, opposition wards also pay the same income tax and also do the same national service.

      I feel the same way as you, I live in Potong Pasir for 23 years and back when PP is under Mr Chiam See Tong, there wasn't much upgrading going on, street lights and hdb lights were dim and yellowish in color, no sheltered linkways from my hdb to mrt, i'm sure Mr Chiam wants the best for the residents in PP but just didn't have the budget for it. It wasn't until PAP won the PP SMC in the 2011 GE by only a mere 0.4%(PAP 7992 votes vs SPP 7878 a difference of only 114 votes), since then PP has seen drastic changes, sheltered linkways are all over the estate, lift upgrading, home improvements and many other amenities were built.
      Don't get me wrong, PAP is a doing a good job and there are many things I agree with PAP and of course there will be some that i don't agree with. I just hope that there will be more voices in parliament and like Jamus said we aren't denying PAP the mandate but rather we're denying PAP a blank cheque. GE2020 is over but I'm happy to see the opposition making great progress, winning the SK GRC is a wake up call for PAP. I hope people can vote wisely in the next GE

    I think citizens need to understand how the system works. Govt grants are actually disbursed to the PA which operates through PAP grassroots advisors, even in opposition wards. The PAP grassroots advisors are the one who green lights the disbursement of the funds. So if the projects are "blocked", go after the PAP, not your opposition MP. After all they did said they want to serve the people.

    I lived with my parents at BLK 151 Bedok Reservoir for 5 years before moving out two years ago to Tampines. We voted for opposition WP, I always see Pritam Singh and his team doing round about even before elections. So they actually listened to our problems and solved it well. The response from them was fast & genuinely they do care about the residents.. It's true in bedok Reservoir everything is convenient, place is clean and definitely a great place to stay. So this year hopefully Aljunied GRC still goes to them as I can't vote for them in Tampines, wish them well and hope they get enough seats in parliament to continue their fight for the ppl.

    I’ve lived in Aljunied GRC for 18 years. TBH, as compared to PAP, WP had done significantly much more. They constructed lifts to connect the floors (it used to be floor 1>5>9>12) but now it’s much more convenient. They also upgraded every single unit’s toilet and repainted buildings. They also redid the carpark and repainted the floors(idk what’s the term called) in just two terms!!! They often host meet the session by having a cup of coffee to understand better with the residents. And that’s some real effort right there. I dont see PAP on the ground like WP.

    The people we elect as MPs are supposed to scrutinise government's policies and bills,to speak up for us,for our interests to be addressed in Parliament...to question ministers and seek answers and clarifications...
    But the PAP has twisted the responsibilities of elected Mp's to that of mere estate managers...just to keep them busy running their estates and to have less time,interests and concerns for serious matter that has got to be discussed in Parliament...

      @@yeotao fair point, maybe not all blocks , umm UA-cam doesn't allow me to post pictures here as a reply. Walk to BLK 714,715, 713, Esp 714, walls are marked and dirty , lift panel overhead have oil spill not cleaned for months, one wall at the common corridor has the concrete stripped and exposed and you can see the rebar inside. Ask the residents how often the lifts break down. it's close to 1x per month.

      I stay near and I am honest, this place needs a paint job, more repairs. Shabby looking sometimes. Is it old estates don't get painted?

    So...everything they say they are thankful for is provided by the government.
    And the only thing provided by their MP is the cleanliness. But what the heck lets vote for them. lol

    When you say such things like: "the ruling party can still rule but...." is a hipocrisy. Because actually you know you don't really trust oppy party ability to rule and they perhaps don't want the work too and risk people scolds on their work. They only want to boss around and criticize their "worker" and if possible the "worker" should get average admin person salary. That is the oppy mentality.

    WP paid millions to their supporter for cleaning and maintenance. That is croynism. Plus that fellow never hired more citizens or paid citizens more. WP MPs earned 15k per month MP allowance since 2011 but never delivered any sustainable policies. Their manifesto has been repeated since 2015. Nothing delivered for 5 years already. Waiting for what. Meanwhile quietly take the 15k MP allowance every month. Bunch of hypocrites.
