This is the man Dr Chee. It really pains many of us if he misses the chance to serve us full time and to represent us in parliament . Truthful , courageous, righteous and hard working.

Dr Chee is almost 60 years of age but he looks like in his 30's. The amount of sufferings he has gone through... He was sued, jailed, defamed, humiliated, fined, harassed but still soldiered and struggled on, much to the admiration and respect of Singaporeans. Any other weaker soul would have long given up, not able to stand the numerous onslaughts of the PAP. But Dr Chee stands still. It baffles the PAP too!

So real and down to earth. A man who cares for singapore, and not wealth or money or fame. All the best Dr Chee. I hope you win. We need people like you in parliment.

i love it i love his answer re: foreigners in singapore competing with singaporeans for the lowest wages for economic survival. "WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE POWERFUL DON'T CAPITALISE ON THE WEAK"

Took many many years but SG hearts are starting to endear to Dr Chee. I was initially sad that although he has been campaigning for 30 years, only now there seems to be a chance that he'll win a seat. But then I realized something. Call it epiphany or whatever you will.... But prrobably God wanted him to be more wiser, experience and knowledgeable befofe putting him in parliament. His path is a difficultt one - but i like to think.. one with God's blessings and the people's true support.

CSJ is not the monster that the establishment and media makes him out to be. They do not dare to debate his ideas properly and when they do, they twist the context or misrepresent. He deserves to speak in parliament, he has earned it

the fact u asked him what NOT to do and he stumbles because all this while he focuses on what he CAN do, really echoes dr tambyah's opinion of him as an "eternal optimist". we really need more people like him

I love how casual both this interview and Dr Paul Tambyah’s interview are! Thank you Preetipls!

Thanks Preeti for the interview and allowing us to see this more relaxed side of Dr Chee. Thanks for planning meaningful questions and adding useful info (the Oscar Wilde quote and Wiki screenshots) in such short notice too! All the best to Dr Chee this Friday! 👏🏼👏🏼

He is such a nice person. Doesn't deserve all the hate. Edit: Just found out that he is almost 60...like DAMN...I legit thought he was in his late 30s or early 40s.

Thanks Preeti for giving coverage to SDP 😄

GREAT INTERVIEW WITH DR CHEE ... SO REAL, RELAXING AND VERY CHILL OUT LEPAK STYLE MANY SINGAPOREANS HEARTLANDERS CAN RELATE TOO ... WELL DONE PREETIPLS 👍

Lovely interview. Thank you so much. Thank you Dr Chee for being so genuine n real, and for standing in your beliefs. All these years you have never given up despite all the opposition. I really salute you and really reaĺly hope you win this year. All the best and God bless!

Thank you for publishing this interview, i really appreciate the human connection that was highlighted during this chat with Dr Chee and Dr Tambyah!

When you can see the heart that speaks, that is the authenticity of a real human being.

I know who I will be voting for! Hope you win Dr Chee! Our country needs more people like you.

I owned a company before, when we need to get staff, we'll do the usual advert online Jobstreets etc . The applications from FOREIGNERS are easily 80% overall., from India, Myanmar, Malaysia etc. with lower expected salary . These applicants are either still in their native country or in Singapore residing with their relatives while looking for job. it's so open here in Singapore. My daughter graduated from local university several months ago,she put in the extra effort to finish all the required modules. Even before the Covid 19, she couldn't get a job and countless interviews...As a father, I have to continue encourage positivity and supports, and I know how badly she wanted to be independent and stop imposing her parents. I have to tell you young Singaporeans out there.. I am not optimistic to be honest. All you want is to apply for a job and what you find in yr own country are foreigners in-waiting, interviews by foreigners if you are so unfortunate. I 've been to numerous countries for work, no other country is this lenient to foreigners looking for jobs in their country. I think the current PAP has not the ability to imagine this been perpetuated for so many years now . Think about what I just said. Maybe it's time to focus more on what's happening in yr own country, indifference, ignorance isn't going to solve the problem! This is just 1 of them. My apology for the long read.

Preeti's interviewing skills really puts mediacorp's clowns to shame. Very thoughtful and intelligent questioning peppered with light humour makes this so engaging and brings out the charm and genuineness of Dr Chee. Its a pity he lost the elections because Singapore needs leaders like him.

Dr Chee, for quite a while I have noticed lumps around your arms that indicate you are on medication. please Do take good care of yourself. Our country need you to be VOTED into Parliament TO PROVIDE A CHECK AND BALANCE AND BRING OUT NATIONAL SOCIAL ISSUES, ESPECIALLY BREAD AND BUTTER ISSUES. VOTERS of Bukit Batok, PLEASE DO THE NEEDFUL BY VOTING DR CHEE INTO PARLIAMENT.

I'm a resident of Bt Batok and Dr Chee Soon Juan lost my vote when he says he's a dog person. 😡 Just kidding he already have my vote, hope he does well this election. 👍

He has such strong values and visions. I’d be really disappointed if his SMC does not vote him in. Plus he’s up against another unbeknown part-time minister

I attended Dr Chee's rally at Raffles Place in 2015. He is one of the most eloquent, charasmatic speaker, smart and he has so much fire in him. What amazes me is, he still has that today -the never-give-up attitude, the values he holds on to. I really pray hard for him to receive the supports and march into Parliment. A man who tried so hard for so many years will no doubt value and treasure the opportunity to be able to serve because if he failed, he knows he is out the next GE. Fellow Singaporeans, please give him the chance.

Great man sacrificed 30 over years of his life for some things he believed in and that's democracy for his fellow man is that principle or what?

Will watch all the ads for this. ❤️ thank you preeti, thank you dr chee, I really, really hope you win.

Everytime Dr. Chee loses the election it depress and saddens me, Oh God, not again in this election.

WE DID YOU DIRTY DR CHEE. YOU DESERVE THE WORLD BUT YOU CHOOSE TO GIVE YOURSELF INSTEAD, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OF US WHO ARE SO GRATEFUL AND HAPPY THAT YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE AND YOU DO WHAT YOU DO. PLEASE TAKE SOME TIME TO REST AND BE WITH YOUR FAMILY. AND IF YOU CHOOSE TO FIGHT AGAIN, WE WILL FIGHT WITH YOU.

Dr Chee is such a poetic person!

So humble, cannot dont vote you, 100% vote U!

thank you for doing this preeti! it really helps humanise these candidates that we only see as names and constituencies throughout the campaign

Yay! Thanks for interviewing Dr Chee. Well done

I stayed up late night yesterday just to learn that he lost Bukit Batok to Mr.Murali. Mr.Murali clearly stated that he would work for the BB part-time basis, while Dr.Chee has invested his full time here. Yet, people still voted him out and Mr.Murali is still running BB. So sad to see Dr.Chee's effort, passion and dedication is not appreciated.

This is one side of the man I've not seen before. He smiles. He makes fun of himself. He is pretty much human like us. But he is passionate about justice and equality. Why else would he be doing what he's doing? Revenge, you think. You're nuts.

thank you for conducting this interview!

my heart cried for dr chee after the results :(( gen z, we gotta make sure we cop a seat in the parliament for our courageous, passionate, down to earth man by 2025 T^T

Both my favourite :) Not afraid to stand up and fight for their rights... Cheers !

Come on Bukit Batok please let's give this man a break. Get him into the parliament and lets see what he's able to do.

19 MINS!!!?? OK QUEEN OF GENEROSITY YESSS

Dedass i hope this guy wins

what a mature, rational, and strong man who believes in fighting to achieve a better and brighter future for Singapore and Singaporeans for the longest time. Respect to him always. Don't let character assasination by the incumbent brainwash your perception of him.

Thank u Preeti and Team for shooting this 😍

All the best Dr Chee. Good luck. See you in Parliament. 👍

I migrated to Australia twenty over years ago. Previously I owned a migration agency in Australia. I had helped Singaporeans and non Singaporeans working in Singapore to migrate to Australia. In fact, more foreign workers working in Singapore approached me to migrate to Australia. My impression is: these foreign workers are merely using Singapore as a stepping stone to migrate somewhere else. They were mainly the white collar workers. They remained in Singapore initially because of the value of the Sing dollar. After they have earned enough, they just want to move to to a more relaxing environment, such as Australia. The government needs to understand this: the old mentality of early migrants making roots in Singapore no longer exist. The modern day foreign workers we see have no sense of commitment or belonging here. Our economy cannot depend on them. In times of crisis, it is the Singaporeans who would stand with Singapore, not the foreigners. Loyalty to our nation comes from our people.

we know he is a great dad.. because he told a "DAD JOKE" hahah

Wish you well. You have been maligned for so many years. When I was young I believe the paper and tot you are a troublemaker. Bump into you once almost twenty years ago at bedok interchange when you were distributing flyers. If time can turn back I will make the little gesture of walking up to you and say all the best Dr chee!!

HAHA that was an excellent joke 🤣

Dr. Chee SJ Very appreciate of you for fighting Singaporeans over 3 decades in Bukit Butok. Our family had staying here over 16yrs.Im really luv this place much, even we hv move out.Thank you n we need ppls like u in the Parliament.

Dr Chee Soon Juan, such a nice person, humble, joker & polite politician. Keep it up Dr Chee, Have a gd day..

He’s awesome

He is too smart and the ppl who didn't vote him cannot comprehend his smartness!!! U ran a good fight in ge2020.

He deserve to win vote for him he doesn’t care abt fat cheques

Thank you for doing this interview I really enjoy every minute of it.

Dr Chee .. God bless you. May you and your family be healthy happy. I respect your passion, dedication and commitment to serve the people of Singapore and your relentless pursuit of what you believe in. And you are multi talented and it's nice to see this very humourous and light side of you. Blessings always.

Please voters of bukit batok compare this man to your previous mp and than vote without pressure

Chee SJ is an intelligent man and definitely deserve a seat in parliament.

Sad to see humble people like CSJ and Tan Cheng Bock putting in their best efforts at their age to help Singaporeans... but.. only to lose..

What I like is Preetipls' professionalism here. Instead of constantly interjecting Chee with rude responses, she listens, lets him answer questions and eventually conclude the episode without getting too politically "involved".

How fantastic that you are using your platform to offer a perspective for young voters! Love preetipls

Dr Chee 加油 , we can see u will never give up, hope you win the next election,💪💪💪💪

All the best Dr Chee! Hope Bukit Batok residents will give Dr Chee their votes! His perseverance, passion and conviction! He really has more in him for the people than many million dollar ministers! Wish him well and good!

Love this interview! ❤️👍

Well done always have our support.

30 years from now; some Singaporean kid would be surfing the net and stumble across this video. Hopefully society will be more informed than one we live in today. Shame on us who don't appreciate him today.

Great interview, YES to freedom of speech and media.

Good questions! and yes we noticed the subliminal messaging in the subtitles ;)

Hi Dr chee, you are also a joker not only a good political man, straight from your ♥ s'pore love u👍💪👌

This interview is so good! I'm so sad I can't vote this year, as I'm stuck overseas! Make your vote count y'all! ❤

Thank you for this video. DR Chee is without a doubt one worthy opponent & one to be reckoned with. I am disappointed he's not elected though I'm not in his area. Pls don't give up on us. Singapore needs you. We need a real person & not a product. See you in parliament in 2025. :) And I couldn't agree more between low-income foreigners & Singaporeans, it's just a race to the bottom! Just a pathetic way of life. :(

Dr Chee genuinely cares for the country👍Thanks for interviewing the opposition, Prettipls! 💕

Respect to u sir....from yishun

Thank you for getting Mr Chee to tell a joke!

That's how a person approaching 60 will look if he sets time aside for exercise but more importantly if there is zero hatred and evil thoughts in him. He is down to earth and speaks from his heart. Dr Chee, don't lament over your loss. You got 45%. PM-to-be only managed to garner 53%. You had a great win!

Such a cute lady!!

Dr Chee is a nice individual. We definitely need more candidates from SDP and WP contesting in the next GE 2025. Lightning party MPs are highly paid doing nothing... Dr Chee suffered enough and he doesn't give up. He believe in serving sporean. Unlike those Lightning party MPs who are good for nothing.. Thanks Dr Chee! Thanks SDP!

he is so precious

I bet she support SDP!

A good man ! 👏👏👏

Wao that reminded me of the powerful lor mee during NS and that’s like more than 15 years ago. Gonna go! Thanks man

👍👍👍👏👏👏💪💪💪Both to PreetiPls & Dr Chee!!☺️

Thank you for the interview with Dr Chee. 👍

Dr Chee, we really thank you. Please don't be discouraged. U have done a lot and we thank you

Don't give up Dr. Chee ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY. As the saying goes by Quote: I will be back. Unquote Gen. McCarther. All the best to you.

Dr. Chee, God bless you

Preeti u r the next MP.😆

Our hopes,thoughts and prayers for ultimate victory Dr Chee,cheers God bless ✌️

Dr Chee would have made such an excellent MP

How I wish I am living in BB so I can support you

Well said well said

Insightful interview - thank you Preeti. I admire Chee Soon Juan's courage and dedication, and how honestly he displays it. The political debate was a classic example of this. A shout out here!

This truly up close and personal! A wonderful interview!

I hope you do well this election 2020 .

INGWALAH INGWALAH LMFAOOOO

My favourite politician . Go Dr Chee❤️

I like and fully enjoy about the way you had approach and how you conduct this interview with csj 🤟

Give Dr Chee and his party a chance to serve the residents. Give yourself a chance too. You never know if his party will do a better a job or not unless you tried out his party. You will be guaranteed a good ‘fight’ in parliament! You wouldn’t want to miss that!

Brilliant chats with real substances. Well done.

Dr. Chee though you did not manage win in this election but you made great progress. Don’t be disappointed keep on trying, the Bruce & the spider by next election you will be in.
