‘Low Thia Khiang, Sylvia Lim and Pritam Singh revealed in their blog,
entitled In Good Faith, that they have raised SGD $477,653, as of 10pm
yesterday evening – just over 24 hours since the trio appealed to the
public for help to fight the multi-million dollar lawsuits they are
facing in court
On Wednesday, the opposition party leaders revealed in their blog that
they have “depleted our personal resources,” having already paid
$600,000 from their own pockets to their legal team as the trial
progresses.’ Posted in theindependent
The 3 senior WP MPs are facing charges in court for dunno what and
facing bankruptcy to the tune of $30m. The legal fees so far came to
$600,000, paid out of their pockets and from friends, not from party
fund. Defending one's honour in court is no cheap stuff and one who
cannot pay would likely have to accept defeat and a guilty condemnation
even before going to court, or unable to proceed for short of fund.
The WP MPs have made a public appeal and the money came fast and
furious, nearing half a million within 24 hours. The latest count after
two days is more than $900,000 from more than 5,200 donors and counting.
What does this mean?
The charges, based on the amount they were accused of mishandling or
mismanagement or dishonesty is a staggering $30m. For those who
willingly donated to the appeal is as good as saying that they believe
that they were doing it in good faith, the WP's defence in court, or
else they would not be forking out the money if otherwise. For those
who could not afford to support the 3 MPs financially, they have good
words to share and to keep their spirits high.
From the political perspective, this is like a mini referendum for the
people of Hougang and Aljunied to cast their vote of confidence for their
MPs. Two days have passed and more than 5000 have voted with their
pockets. The two constituencies have more than 100,000 voters. If the
51% that voted for the WP were to contribute $10 each, 3 plates of char
kway teow, that would bring in another $510,000 to the fund. But it is
not so much the money that counts. It is the people showing their faith
and confidence in their MPs, an affirmation of their trust and support
for them.
How much would the WP be able to raise and how many people would donate
is still too early to tell. The picture would be clearer in a week or
two.

This willingness to contribute to the fund not only indicates the vast confidence people have for the WP accused, it also points to the disgust people have with what the PAP government is trying to do. Period.
Will there be a forced by-election if 50% of incumbent MPs are out??
Bloody rubbish show going on. Did the Pappies dogs use state monies or their own monies to sue the people's MPs of Aljunied?
One woman sued husband already pressurized until died of heart attack, still sue the widow?
Isnt this wickedness?
Auditors combed like crazy spending millions of dollars n cannot find any criminal breaches, why is still these patty dogs suing?
Shit times headline to mislead $36 mln?
Really? Thats all the total billings n not the amounts in discrepancies.
What has these dogs in the Party become?
Are they humans or are they beasts?
The worst still they wear white shirts n some even claimed to be religious people?
Their pastors or monks or teachers have taught them wrongly.
If not they must be following some very Dishonrable Leeders???
This is a case of Evil vs Good.
Bully vs Meek.
Abuse vs Hammered.
Party Against People vs People
They want total control over the sheeples of this tiny rock. To all the people of Singapore, open you eyes and look into your heart when you cast your votes in the next GE. Do not be sway by the bonuses and carrots they give you to buy your votes. By all means accept the sweets and candies, but vote against them, just to tell them they cannot have their ways all the time. Tell PAP they cannot pay themselves their sky high salaries and many months bonuses every year. Show them your disgust about the way they treat the man in the street ny bleeding them with all the taxes. Once and for all get them out. A few more opposition MPs in parliament would help for checks and balance. They should not have their own way all the time.

Very very greedy self serving PLP rich dogs vs Heroes of people
Anon 9.31
Sure the PAP will definitely declared an Eerection if the WP MPs would to be thrown out.
But their own, not necessary.
But to their disappointment either they have 90% Fark You Votes or 90% other Oppostion Votes by other parties or if other WP members still able to stand for elections.
Our Idiot Trade Minister can still sing on a useless topic of what's Elitism when as Trade Minister the economy of sinkieland is going to go bust.
Prices of all commodites going up.
How much do you think this fund will be at the end of the day?
What say you?
������!
Maybe $50,000,000.00?
Totally unwarranted waste of time, resources & public money case.
Our ministers & Leeder are nuts!
Instead of focusing on many key difficult issues, they keep shooting n squeezing Singapore & Singaporeans down, with their motherhood vision statements, but with strategies n execution like idiots & naive small spoiled boys.
The Evil Empire's running dog is following the Evil Empire system of fascism of absolute total control.US has a duopoly dictatorship between the Republicans and the fake Democrats. However this American poodle wants full dictatorial power for itself and will not tolerate any opposing voice.The Evil Empire is ruled by psychophants, rogues, crooks. scoundrels, cheats and charlatans. IS the poodle governing system a carbon copy of its grandmaster ?
There should be no more distinction between the 70% and 30% in this little wacky island.We either swim or sink together. We are entering a crisis of critical time. We need to exercise right thinking and do what is right and proper. We must bring back graciousness and enlightenment back to the island in the sun. We must strongly oppose fascism and resist the dynastic prone fascist dictatorship. We can make a small start to make the beautiful island a safer and more harmonious society where no one is hounded or fixed up for opposinng views by just making a donation to help the Workers' Party' MPs financial dilemma in a law suit.Freedom and Democracy in Singapore is at the crossroads. Help the Workers' Party's MPs and take back our freedom and democracy.
Glory from the South
Hi 1146am
They are nuts?
How can!?
They were voted in by the massive 70%!
So you think they are nuts?
Hahaha..... . ������!
Most of 69.9% are blinded nuts too...hahaha
so funny........hahaha. .......
Town councils and municipal services should be run by civil servants so that there is consistancy of work, service and duties as had been the case in the past. MPs are elected to serve the people in parliament as law makers and formulate policies for the good and benefit of the people and the country. They are to oversee that the government of the day does not become rogue. They must refute bad policies and poor governance and give support where it is due. MPs should never run town councils.
All town councils must eventually be abolished and all municipal services revert back to the government's centralise municipal services where there should be more efficiency and economy of scale as it is run by civil servants with no break in continuity of service even if there is a changed of government.
The subsequent changed to Town Councils is based on subterfuge reasons. Down the road we see opposition town councils are always fixed for obscure reasons.
Singapore is turned upside down. Real disgusting.
Eagles Eyes
The chosen one running this cuntry, talk like a petty spoilt brat, act like a petty spoilt brat, lead like a petty spoilt brat...n indeed after so many years is a petty spoilt brat. The track record speaks for itself. So MarLoo whenever other nationals talk for him.
The dishonourable son and his followers, together with the traitors within the WP itself who brought this case to court, will suffer their Karma and rot in hell. This is not just an injustice against the three WP leaders, but against the 30% of Singaporeans as well. It is a sin beyond redemption. JBJ will be turning in his grave by now to see the demise of the WP.
The PAP not only fixed the WP, they will also fix the 70% in due time. The 70% better not be too happy that the WP is gone. They better buy more lubricating jelly to prepare their arse for sodomy, the favourite dish of the Malaysians.
People will not be angry is the law is applied fairly. But it looks like PAP town councils can get away with dubious investments that resulted in millions lost without being taken to task. That is not the only occasion that the law has not been applied fairly and justly. The money given to the PA was also found to have been misused, but the people involved were not taken to task as well.
What is the composition of the $30 million suit? What about the work done over the period and how much more did the WP paid their cleaning contractor as compared to what the PAP contractor would charge for the same job size and scope?
Hello All, Ohe million had been raised and WP had stopped the fund raising.
Hurrah! This shows the mini referendum is that the donors are disgusted with the PAP and had sided with the WP.
Even though past few trials events are demolishiby to the WP.
Cheers
The PAP may think there is nothing that Sinkies can do, now that they have total control of all elements of the state organs. But there is still the ballot box to contend with. That they have gone to all lengths to entice, threaten and demolish the opposition shows they still have a fear of that vote in the hands of every Sinkie.
But the next election, if the WP is demolished, hopefully the backlash at the ballot box will come. It will be difficult to dislodge them, but if the PAP thinks it has prided itself in mastering the art of control, the aftermath may be a painful downfall to savour.
Think of Hillary Clinton and Najib Razak. How confident were they of victory before their last election, but the fall was really painful for them. They really do not expect it to happen.
The rogues have surely kicked themselves in the arse and damned. It is sure driving the people to have a Singapore Harapan in the next Election. Hopefully the opposition parties will solve their differences and get rid of their petty ego to form for once a solid united party to kick out the pappies and bring back freedom, graciousness and fair play to Singaporeans.
Any government that has become a monster should be changed.
I unemployed for 20 years and still have one son in uni so life is tough. I was thinking of donating $10 today but look like I too late as they already close the donation drive. Will give the donation in phase 2 if needed
Good for you Anon 6.42
Next two months Genting Gaming capitals for WP.
Hope they acquitted and if next GE, Opposition make inroads then do not have to make unpleasant exit from your place of birth.
Cheers
642 you got good spirit. True dignity & public service.
If they keep dragging the court case, the $1m may not be enough. The WP would have to pay for court time and lawyers' time in court and out of court. If the accuser lawyers keep on bringing up more things or raise more arguments, more questions, bring in more witnesses, talk long long in court, the WP would have to pay for it.
8.31 pm anon, u are too kind in your comment. I am a poor nobody and can give only $10 which is a big deal for me though I think is of not much help for the cause lar
Rb it's not a real referandum lar as it only shows 6000 plus people actively support them as indicated the number of diners foe 1 million rather than 1 million donating 1 each
Anon 4.52
How you know 6000 donors donated??
It's does not matter what's the number of donors that donated.
Within twenty four hours half a million already raised. Next day one million.
This shows the support and enthusiasm of the people as in a Mini Referendum that spite the PAP.
WP been an honest party halted tordination drive as they felt enough for now.
They are not pleading for their own cause but the People's Fight against Injustice.
Unlike the greedy monies grabbing appetite of the PAY AND PAY.
WP could have not suspend the drive and it might have come up to millions next few days.
But for now, enough for the fight and extras not going into their coffers
Everywhere, we have jokers and shit stirrers who have to throw spanners in the works.
Less than 3 days and it ht $1m. If they only extend it for a week. Many of the ah kongs and ah mahs did not read internet and still waiting to here the news and how to donate. They may even queue up at meet the people's session to throw money into a donation box. They dunno how to use internet to donate and got no bank accounts to use cheques. All they have are a few dollars in their ovaltine tin cans.
Right Mr RB.
WP would not like to have the extra millions and have to make refunds as excess to the donating public.
Also, how to refund based on what's criteria?
Secondly, don't want the petty Emperor and his eunches to dig their arse by having another Court case of keeping the excess monies.
Apologies for the typo errors. Should read:
Less than 3 days and it hit $1m. If they could only extend it for a week. Many of the ah kongs and ah mahs did not read internet and still waiting to hear the news and how to donate.

Looks like 100% chance GE will be in 2nd quarter of 2019...
Don't even need to call for by election...

如果有心,肯定有辦法,一起做好事
After fixing the WP, they will send in Woody to assess the ground and he will again shout 'the chickus are ripe for the picking'.
After removing the goalpost, they now can score goals at will. Don't even need to have elections. It is all walkovers, unless the traitors go in to stage a show for the world to see. One day, they may even choose the opposition candidates to stand for 'erection' for the sake of the 70%. The show must go on without the WP.
Virgo, alamak u old fart already lar. Number of donors stated at in good fate website lar😀
Like I said now even 6000 donors at 1 million.
Just calculate 600,000 if the Donation Drive goes on.
How many millions???
Even one donation against the PAP is one too many to spiit at them what's more 6000 within 48 hours or so.
Numbers of donors are immaterial.
Young Fart with bleak future.
FMSS Low outburst in court? Her husband was harassed by auditors....greatly overworked and died from heart attack?
Urged all involved in Pappies, the dogs, to stop this wickedness of contributing to the death of a man, and still suing the widow.
This is black heart....very, very bad.
