Some words from the election committee aka Ms Zhang

Hi Enthusiastic Citizens of 2E1,
Your posts really jazz up the class blog and the campaigning atmosphere in 2E1. A few things I would like to comment and clarify...

1) There is no need to do the summary. I will go through the summary in class. The homework list is
: Information report (handwritten, 300-500 words) to be handed in on Tuesday
: Formal Letter to be handed in on Wednesday
: History SEQ to be handed in on Friday
No extension of deadline.

2) I am very glad that Azfar's party has decided to adopt democracy. He has also put forth a very convincing argument why the citizens of 2E1 should vote for him. It is quite impressive and persuasive.
However his speech is also an example of the level of censorship we impose on presidential speeches and campaigning. You can point out what the other parties are not doing, you cannot use negative words (i.e. lazy) to describe them. No personal attacks on any candidates is allowed.

3) Thank you to Dominic Low for planning two class outings. It will be good if you notify D.Low if you are turning up for the bowling outing so he knows the number of people turning up. However rem to get your parents' consent first.
As for the 2nd outing, we shall have a discussion in class first. After all, we subscribe to the notion of democracy.

4) Perhaps Candidate Kaiwen might want to explain the idea of a coalition government to the citizens. It's a refreshing and effective strategy (but there are drawbacks too).

Have a great weekend and let's cheer Singapore for her 44 years of independence!

Cheerios
Ms Zhang
