Instructions on how you can help:

  1. Join the Facebook Cause.
  2. Send an e-mail of appeal.
Some people have asked, "Why an e-mail to show our displeasure?" The rationale is simple - what other form might be viable in sunny Singapore?
  • Public protest - out of the picture for obvious reasons.
  • Member of Parliament - too much red-tape.
  • Nominated Member of Parliament - likewise, but all NMPs are invited to take up this cause if they are interested.
  • Feedback form - it's like e-mail, only it goes to a nameless/faceless entity, entitled to reply with nothing but a generic message. A waste of kilobytes, if you ask us.
  • Petition - like an e-mail or feedback form reply, but consolidated. No point, as we are only making it easier for the people in charge to say 'no'.
An e-mail is the most viable form in this case. For one, we are targeting our message with an audience in mind - the people at the top - because we have their contact information on hand. For another, we hope that the volume/quantity of e-mails might be enough to make the people at the top think about what we have to say.

Last but not least, we're banking on what happened during the DBS-FotF encounter to work again this time round.

Leave comments - anonymous or otherwise - at the bottom of this post with suggestions on what else can be done. We appreciate all the support we can get.
