WP has done nothing but try to thwart the PA in it's outreach programs since the day they won Aljunied. It's been a difficult but doable job that we have managed to still reach out to the public despite the WP constant irritations, like shutting down the power supple to the tennis courts during an Autum Mooncake festival on the tennis courts. Which turned out to be great as the Chairman & I ran out and bought a bunch of BIG candles and put them on all the tables and it actually brought all the residents closer. Or, conveniently saying the void decks are all booked up when we wanted to use them for a PA function. Or demanding to be allow to attend a function dressed in the Party Blues to which we said no, as we are a non-political organization. It's been interesting here in Aljunied to say the least. I think I will be completing my 10th year as a Grassroots Leader this coming November. And yeah, Liew Patrick II hits it right on the head about the PA, There are the good the bad and the ugly, but the vast majority are there to help our communities first and foremost.
