Outreach Walkabout on 23 May around Buangkok area


This morning,  SDA team gathered at the Food Court at Blk 275 Compassvale Link for their prep talk, catching up and preparation for today's Outreach Walkabout session. Today's session is anchored by Desmond Lim himself.


The unrelenting rain that had persisted since the wee hours of the morning did not halt even at 10.00am as the SDA team set off for their interaction session. Undeterred, the team braved the rain to continue their fight for their beliefs, just like how they
braved the Sun on other Saturday mornings.



Armed with the Party's Pamphlets, the members penetrated the Food Court and made contact with the stall-owners  and diners. The contents of the pamphlets were being explained after the members introduced / re-introduced themselves and made the diners felt comfortable.



Many of the members of the public had queries on a certain "deliverance" today, and some expressed their views on the use of this interesting analogy.


The SDA members, shadow Town Councillors and DLs' Caring Community members moved from Blk 275 Compassvale Bow to Blk 266 Compassvale Bow, continuing their efforts to share their fighting spirit with the general public, as well as find out if there were any imminent concerns they were having currently.






Then the group proceeded over to Blk 267 Compassvale Bow's Coffee Shop to continuing reaching out to the residents there. Besides the introductions and gathering feedback on living conditions in Buangkok, the members also took time to listen to the residents' views on recent news and policies.



The team also touched base with the owners and employees of the various retail outlets / shop fronts situated along the estate, while they were on the way from one coffeeshop to another.

Today's Outreach interaction session concluded at 11.30am and the members headed for a debrief, consolidating the issues they had managed to collect during today's session.


Today's Walkabout session is covered by SDA's field journalist Elle Chen.
