As a graduate of London School of Economics, SDP's Michelle Lee possesses both beauty and brains. She raises important issues and concerns such as the CPF, education, healthcare and women issues in the most eloquent way possible. She could very well make a great Minister for Education.
She is contesting against Vivian Balakrishnan in Holland-Bukit Timah GRC. Vote for her!
She is just lovely.
Michelle Lee Juen, 35, is a graduate of the London School of Economics with a B.Sc. (Hons) in Government and Economics, scoring first-class honours in the Government component of her degree programme. She worked in the Monetary Authority of Singapore. She later worked for Salomon Smith Barney Citibank as a financial analyst, and Mercer Management Consulting in Hong Kong. In 2002, Michelle made a career shift and became an English and Literature teacher: working with children rather than money has been infinitely more fulfilling. She taught at New Town and Bukit View Secondary Schools and the Singapore International School in Hong Kong. Michelle is an active volunteer, having participated in hospital visiting programmes, spent some time at an orphanage in China and an immigrant school in London. She enjoys working with children and currently teaches a group of underprivileged children in the Holland area and delivers food to needy residents. She is a dedicated mother of three, and a successful practitioner of the work-life balance. As a teacher, she is disturbed by the apathy and lack of sympathy in our youth generated by the stifling and overly competitive demands of our education system. As a parent, an educator, and a Singaporean, she feels it imperative for compassion to be brought back to bear on all aspects of governance in Singapore. Her global experience in finance, consultancy and education stand her in good stead to serve the needs of the people of Singapore.
Hope she and her team wins and get into parliament. Vote opposition.
ReplyDeletethis GE there is many good alternative candidates with passion, and potential ideas that can change Singapore and make it better.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that singaporean stop being shortsighted, and see the long term need of this country. If this country go on the way under PAP, it will be gone.
Only now then PM starting acknowledge and saying sori, He say that MM is MM style, then MM should not be in parliament, but he dare not tell him to step down. he ack wrong yet his failed ministers still candidates. It is just a gimmick not sincere.
If this GE they get a strong mandate, then it will the same way for another 5 yrs. Not only that alternative parties will be badly defeated, Singapore will depend solely on PAP again and subject to their manipulation. WP and Chaim has taken so many years to keep the alternative alive, this moment is critical. Singaporean has to keep the momentum going.
Singapore sons and daughters, there is many talent and brave one, just that they dont wan to stand under the pap flags.
Singaporeans has really to wakeup, even the foreigners step on us for we give our citizienships like toilet papers, we singaporeans r not united.
It is now, we can proudly standup and said we r not happy with foreigners, it does not means we hated them, It is our Right to express our views, and not PAP of telling us to welcome them.
For 30 yrs we have walk-over, the people must take a stand. even voiding the vote is to endorse the PAP.
I'm in lo*e with her
ReplyDeleteDo you know what the slogan of the Ministry of Education is?
ReplyDeleteIt is “Molding the future of our Nation”. Molding ?
Are they making Singapore biscuits? Are they treating Singaporean as biscuits?
We are to be brain washed and treated as digits.
Limited numbers will be ministers, limited numbers will be doctors, lawyers and the rest will be workers.
Since, 1965 when I was in primary school, the classroom size was 40-42 pupils. After 40 years, it is still 40 pupils per classroom. Spending billions of dollars, building schools and so many years it has not improved at all. It is just infrastructure only, good hardware but lousy software.
Students are much pressured in schools to get good grades to boost the school reputation. Where is the quality of teaching?
Teachers are loaded with extra work and activities. They don’t give much homework to students anymore because they have to mark books for 40 students. If each Math’s exercise has 10 questions, then the teacher has to mark 400 questions for a class, what more if he/she has 3 classes to teach in a day. That will be 1,200 questions to mark per day or every 2 days.
Because of lack of homework, the students will not be good in their subjects; therefore tuitions are needed to supplement it and the parents are paying for it. Then what is the school for? For taking exams only?
Many students learn to pass exams and score good grades only but are they analytical and how deep understanding of the subjects do they have? Do they have good foundations in their subjects? Without good foundations they won’t be good creators or inventors or writers.
Therefore, only parents who can afford or parents who are willing to spend extra money to get them tuitions, these pupils will do well. So is it the school effort or the parent’s effort? Then why need to send them to school. Some educated parents in Singapore prefer to teach their children at home rather than sending them to formal school. They don't want their children to be "molded".
For over 40 years, did the Minister of Education do a good job?
Do they know what a good education is? This, the PAP government has failed to see it with 40 years experience of running MOE, they are really blinded, may be they are also "molded".
The opposition parties really showed us what democracy is all about. Just look at the lady powerhouse candidates they are fielding: Michelle SDP, Jeannette Chong NSP, Li Lian WP, Nicole, the honour roll goes on.
ReplyDeleteRock on ladies, you make cowardly guys like me so ashamed of our indifference. Vote for the opposition.
My only regret is that Micheele should have spoken up earlier - and we could have avoided the mess that the current PAP team put us through.
ReplyDeleteShe comes across as a modest lady but beneath her exterior, she's got brains. London School of Economics with a B.Sc. (Hons) in Government and Economics. Get her in as MP!
ReplyDeleteDear All,
ReplyDeleteSDP have changed.. change for the better....
Michelle Lee, Dr. Ang, Mr. Tan and Dr. Vincent are all very good speakers and I started to see the senergy in this team.
Just some comment on Michelle, she touches the real life issue which PAP have fail to see (or don't want to see).... Being a father of 2 very yound children, our school system have lost it's morality... just like our government. School view results as much more imporatant then happiness, moral values, helping the slow learners and grooming Singapore talent! This is very very sad... What have happen to Singapore in the past few years.... ??!!
I urge all to vote for SDP in Hollanf Bukit Timah GRC. Lets vote for a change!!
Reason of abolished Estate duty Tax is not much discussed. How much revenue is loss?
ReplyDeleteMichelle has got the calibre. Minister for Finance or Minister for Education looks well suited for her.
