On 20th
June 2015, something terrible happened before distribution. An opposition party
that Not Supposed to be mentioned, actually
requested Project Awareness to help them out on their Kindness Day, which is to
spread kindness to the low income families in Singapore. So we discussed and
decided why not? End of the day, we just want to help the residents of
Singapore, so it does not matter who we collaborate with, so long as the
residents benefit from it, we are happy to support.
It was
supposed to be a happy event distributing goodies bags to the residents on that
day, however to our dismay, when we including our volunteers have reached the
place, the President of that party told us that today’s event is their party
event, it’s not a collaboration between us and them, and our volunteers are not
allowed to be seen in their pictures. This is ridiculous. Not that we want to
be seen in their pictures, but our volunteers are not to be seen in their
pictures?
Hence we
decided to pull out from the whole thing, because in the first place, they are
not appreciative of our volunteers’ efforts, and even the volunteers themselves
says that they do not wish to support such ridiculous people. Most are wondering
if they are really doing kindness or just trying to get extra points because the
General Election is nearing?
End of the day, we know that our hearts are with
the residents and人民是无辜的，特别是弱势家庭 (the residents are innocent, especially the
low income families) Hence, we proceed to do our distribution on our own
instead.
We decided
to organise a distribution the next day and meanwhile visit the families that
we took care of.
