00:00What do you mean by the last election, but the politicians never die, you know?
00:08We just fade away.
00:10But where I am, whether in politics, I think we have to look after this place.
00:16So I want to share my concerns with all these younger people
00:21and make them take a more responsible look at how the country should be managed.
00:26It is not just by the PAP. I was on the PAP before, but I felt that too long sometimes we take for granted many things
00:37and I think there should be a change. Look at things from a different angle.
00:42And this is where the importance of having more opposition in the House.
00:47Not to break up this country, but actually to improve the debates in the House and also the ideas.
00:55Because they must remember ideas. It's not just a monopoly of the other side.
01:00We have decided that Dr Tan, Hazel and I contesting together in West Coast Jurong West GRC
01:11will be the best way to thank West Coast GRC residents for having supported us strongly in the last election.
01:22After all, it is the West Coast residents who put both of us into Parliament as NCMP.
01:29So hence this decision that we will contest together in West Coast.
01:33What I want to champion is for jobs for Singaporeans.
01:40I think this is one of the most important critical areas that we have to address as a nation.
01:45Though I'm trained in law, I find my calling in entrepreneurship.
01:50What I would like to do is to be able to create an environment and to be a champion
01:56in cultivating a spirit of entrepreneurship among Singaporeans.
02:01I'm a at this point too.
02:08And I had aט.
02:11If I haven't identified as an abstract and a sort of global background,
02:14I'm in aessä aka separator.
02:16Thanks for explaining how to protect ofemean அ��고 hurray
