The boy told the WP MP, “Do you think we will get 1,000 likes? I hope we do!”
SINGAPORE: After a young boy wished for a photo taken with his MP to go viral, netizens were quick to help make it come true. Workers’ Party MP He Ting Ru’s Facebook post on Wednesday night included a picture of the boy, who had told her, ““Let’s see if we can make our young resident’s wish come true!,” wrote Ms He, who, together with Assoc Prof Jamus Lim and Mr Louis Chua, represent Sengkang residents in Parliament.
“I always feel energised when speaking to spirited young residents, and I wish you all the best in your school life, and in qualifying for the basketball team!,” added Ms He. She also posted another photo of a front door with a sign that reads: “Please do not disturb. We are not selling our house.” Ms He wrote that due to resale prices recently approaching a S$1 million price tag in the area, “there has been quite a bit of movement.” Other residents, however, such as the owner of the flat where the “do not disturb” sign was hung, have made it clear “that they are not interested in selling their flats as they like the neighbourhood so much that they can’t think where they could find which would be comparable.
Since Ms He put up her post, it has been liked by over 1,400 Facebook users, including Assoc Prof Lim.
