“Hi everyone, my name is Gordon Ramsay and today I’ll be showing you how to make kaya toast” – that was the opening of Dr Chee Soon Juan’s video fundraising for the Singapore Democratic Party’s (SDP) Bukit Batok grassroots campaign.
The Secretary-General of the SDP announced in a video on Tuesday (Jul 28) that he was making ‘Chee-sy’ mashed potatoes.

“Mashed potato with a thick layer of creamy slathering cheese, and my name”, Dr Chee explained the pun.
He added that each SGD100 order of mashed potato would come in a 900 ml tub which would be delivered to one’s doorstep along with a complimentary copy of the SDP’s manifesto worth S$40.
Dr Chee explained that every dollar raised would go towards building and running the Bukit Batok grassroots campaign over the next few years.
Calling for residents to donate, to the campaign, Dr Chee asked for their generosity towards helping the cause.
The Facebook caption on the cause read: “Buy the Chee-sy Mashed Potatoes ?? and support the BB grassroots campaign.

Just a day ago, SDP chief Chee Soon Juan was spotted meeting residents and volunteers at Bukit Batok as they planned activities for the constituency.
Dr Chee took to Facebook on Sunday (July 26) to share a photo of himself with a few Batokians, as he fondly calls them, planning activities for the coming months and years. “Batokians, watch out for it. We will be in touch,” said Dr Chee in the caption.
While he hasn’t shared in detail what these plans were, it could be felt among the comments to his post with over 3,700 likes, that people were excited and grateful for his efforts. /TISG
