SINGAPORE - When Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong participated in his first general election in 1984, there was no Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. Connecting with voters was"very personal, face-to-face", said the People's Action Party secretary-general during the constituency's Facebook live rally on Monday .
This"kampung spirit" is also reflected during festivals and durian parties held in the neighbourhood, said incumbent MP Gan Thiam Poh, 56. The e-rally, which saw over 7,000 viewers as of Monday night, had the five PAP team members sharing their plans and highlighting future developments in Ang Mo Kio, which encompasses the Teck Ghee, Sengkang South, Ang Mo Kio-Hougang, Cheng San-Seletar and Jalan Kayu districts.
What the PAP offers is dogged loyalty, said Mr Lee, adding:"MM Mr Lee Kuan Yew used to say that this is dog loyalty and not cat loyalty. The difference is the dog loyalty is to the person. If the person goes somewhere else, the dog goes with him. The cat loyalty is not to the person. And MPs, our relationship with our voters is dog loyalty and they must build it."
