The Loony Fringe of Singapore politics - Han Hui Hui

The 23-year-old Blogger, activist and Hong Lim Park devotee Han Hui Hui declared in a blog post on Aug. 26, 2015 that she will be contesting in Radin Mas SMC as an independent candidate.

She faces Minister of State Sam Tan, 56, and the Reform Party's Kumar Appavoo, 46, in a three-cornered fight.

Han Hui Hui will forfeit her S$14,500 election deposit, after she received 10.04 percent, or 2,629, of votes. The threshold for keeping one’s election deposit is to receive at least 12.5 percent of votes cast.

Han Hui Hui shot to prominence due to the antics of the "Return My CPF" protest group. She is closely associated with Roy Ngerng and Gilbert Goh.

At one such protest on 27 Sept 2014, Hui Hui, Roy and several others disrupted a charity event - YMCA’s Proms @ the Park carnival on the same day, because the guest of honor for the event was Minister of State and PAP MP Teo Ser Luck.

What made this protest particularly vile was the fact that the protest group disrupted the performances by autistic children. Subsequently, several members of the protest group were charged with public nuisance offences.

However, instead of gaining online support for their actions, the group was lambasted by many. As a result, Han Hui Hui and Roy had to resort to taking down several of their Facebook posts which exposed their original, pre-mediated intention to disrupt the Charity event. They have gone as far as claiming to be victims of a "trap" set by the Govt.

Alternative media also helped to spread several lies to cover-up the truth and defuse the online backlash to their antics.

Mr Brown had these words for the protesters.

I am going to come right out and say this. If my daughter, Faith, who has autism, or any of my kids, had been on stage performing that day at the YMCA event, and Roy Ngerng, Han Hui Hui and gang came over to disrupt the proceedings, I would have taken their signs and placards and shoved the lot up their collective arses.

I don't care what your cause is. You can protest in your own time and your own space. In fact, NParks gave you your own space, the other lawn, at another part of the park. But noooooo, you wanted to target the minister who was attending the event as a guest of honour.

Was Minister of State Teo Ser Luck speaking at a CPF symposium at Hong Lim Park? No, it was a charity carnival for special needs kids by an organization that has absolutely nothing to do with the Gahmen.

Well, you mess with a bunch of special needs kids performing at a charity event, and it will get personal. I am making it personal.

You are not crusaders. You are not freedom fighters. You are not defenders of the downtrodden, Roy and Hui Hui.

As of now, you are a bunch of insensitive wankers who will do anything to get attention, even if it means scaring special needs kids with your antics.


I will leave you with a comment made by a YMCA volunteer about the debacle. I hope you are proud of yourselves, Roy & Co.

Roy Ngerng, on your blog, you even called your farcical event "The Most Groundbreaking Protest in Singapore since 1965".


Buddy, you flatter yourself. People in Hong Kong are getting tear-gassed fighting for democracy. You merely went to a charity carnival and upset some special needs kids.


Given her unsavory behavior at the YMCA charity event, its no wonder that Han Hui Hui got a taste of her own medicine at her election rally.

hahahaha... Han Hui Hui gets heckled at her own election rally (in Radin Mas SMC).

Sore Loser - Reform Party Chief Kenneth "Don't complain" Jeyaretnam

Kenneth Jeyaretnam, one of The Reform Party West Coast GRC candidates, was interviewed “live” on Channel News Asia after the sample count for voting results was released.

The PAP team was leading 78 percent to RP’s 22 percent in the sample count.

Results Update: 
PAP 71,091 (78.57%) vs RF 19323 (21.43%) of valid votes 
Voters: 99,300 | Rejected votes: 2,415 | Did not vote: 6,402

This was what Jeyaretnam said when asked to comment by CNA’s reporter:

Here’s the interview transcribed:

Reporter:
Now the sample counts have been out for quite a few of the constituencies, your thoughts on the sample counts?

Kenneth Jeyaretnam:
Well, obviously, you know, we were aware from the beginning that we saw this coming. Because we didn’t get the big influx of volunteers and helpers coming forward like we got in 2011, in fact, it was very quiet.

And eh…eh… we saw… Basically, we put this down to the novelty wearing off of a new party, but now I see it is absolutely nation-wide there’s been a huge swing to the PAP.

We weren’t helped by the fact that we lost Clementi, a ward in which we scored particularly highly in the last election.

What I can say is that this is not, as far as I’m concerned, this is not a mandate for the PAP’s economic policies. We had a better manifesto, a better economic plan. All this is a mandate for authoritarianism and brainwashing, it shows what you do when you control everybody’s housing, you control their savings, you control their jobs because you’re the major employer, you control all the media, and there’s no independent elections department.


What I see are similar margins in North Korea and China, it’s just like the Chinese Communist Party. 

And I guess Singaporeans get the government they deserve, so I don’t want to hear any more complaints.



How can any self-respecting, decent politician make such a ridiculous statement on national tv?

As a person who is trying to get themselves elected as a Member of Parliament to represent their constitutents, isn't it logical that you would want to know about the people's life and problems so that you, as an MP, can advocate and influence policy and laws on their behalf to improve things?

How are you going to do that if you do not want to "hear any complaints" simply because you believe that the Singaporeans have no choice but to suffer the consequences of their choice at the ballot box?
