00:00The People's Action Party unveiled its candidates for Nisun GRC earlier today.
00:05Leading the five-member team is Home Affairs and Law Minister Kei Shamugam,
00:09who introduced the four fresh faces at a press briefing held here at the party's Chongfang Brunch.
00:15Among them are Jackson Lam and Lee Hui-ing.
00:18According to Minister Shamugam, both of these candidates have a combined experience
00:23of more than 30 years in handling municipal matters.
00:26Two of them combined have nearly as much experience in Nisun as I have.
00:33As I said, nearly 30 years between the two of them and they're still very young.
00:37Let's hear more from these two candidates.
00:48I started volunteering when I was 19 years old.
00:51I met Dr Lee Hui-ing at a house visit where she inspired me to continue serving until now.
00:55It's been more than 15 years.
00:57So that has been a very, very meaningful journey.
01:00So I may be new to politics, a new face to politics, but I'm not new to Nisun, not new to the community.
01:06Whenever they encounter any issues, they'll come to me.
01:08Even if I'm walking on the streets or having my lunch at the hawkers or coffee shop,
01:14they'll come up to me and say hi.
01:15My grandma, as always, told me, if you want to do something, do it with a heart.
01:21So in Hokkien, let's talk to me again, it's time to go.
01:25So I've always been using this line to serve with a heart in Nisun.
01:28For our seniors, you will notice that Nisun is special because we have a good number of older estates
01:37and newer estates in Nisun.
01:39We hope to bring in more activities, engage them, stay active to stay healthy.
01:44For the new BTO estates, we have a lot more young families in the area.
01:48Whether you have sufficient childcare facilities and good transport connectivity,
01:51that will be one of the key issues that we will be looking at.
01:54Because of my background, I want to speak up more for elderly.
01:57Second, I want to do more for troubled youth.
02:00Third, as a young business older myself, I want to speak up for SMEs
02:03because I understand the challenges and the issues that I'm facing now.
02:10I'm tall, but I don't play the basketball.
02:13But contrary to popular belief, I actually used to play the violin and cello in school.
02:17So that has been something that I really enjoyed when I was in school.
02:20I think all of us know that Ministers started gyming a couple of years ago.
02:23It's because of him I started gyming as well.
02:26Maybe one day, I'll do the physical challenge with him.
