This forum will take place next Sunday, 28 Mar 08 (see below for time and venue). The event is part of a series of activities to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the SDP.

What is civil society? The idea of civil society is a product of civilization, with people coming together to achieve a common goal.
To quote Edmund Burke, an Irish political thinker: “To be attached to the subdivisions, to love the little platoon we belong to in society, is the first principle of public affection. It is the first link in the series by which we proceed towards a love to our country and to mankind.”

Tan Ah Hock is 80-years old and works as a security guard. He is paid $50 for every shift that he performs. Each shift is 12 hours and Ah Hock works on the average of five shifts a week. Even at his age, Ah Hock has to work a back-breaking 60-hour week (the standard full-time employment requires workers to work 44 hours per week) for an average monthly income of about $1,000.
"If I don't show up for work, I don't get paid. If I get sick, I have to pay the doctor's fee myself, the company doesn't pay for me," he told the SDP.

The “advertising guidelines” introduced is clear indication that the PAP is running scared of the New Media and how it is a leveler of information flow.
