Advice to Chee: Don't waste taxpayers' money
I REFER to Sunday's report, 'SDP holds illegal protest against rising consumer prices; 12 held', on the protest march held by Dr Chee Soon Juan and his supporters last Saturday.

As a Singapore-born citizen since the 1960s, I and many others are grateful to the Government and appreciative of what it has done since Independence.

No government can appease all. A good government will do its utmost to ensure that the majority are taken care off.

My advice to Dr Chee and his comrades is that instead of periodic publicity stunts which waste taxpayers' money, they should form a coalition and work in tandem with the ruling party to make life here more interesting and peaceful for all.

Until then, let us continue enjoying a trouble-free life under our current Government, which is in touch with the ground through grassroots organisations, and addresses the concerns of those who fall through the income gap.
