Final White Paper protest at Hong Lim Park attracts 1,000

About 1,000 people gathered at Hong Lim Park on a scorching hot Saturday afternoon for a final protest against the Population White Paper endorsed by Parliament in February. This is the third time that Gilbert Goh of transition.org, a support site for the unemployed, has organised a White Paper protest. He was “slightly disappointed” at the turnout, which was a stark contrast to the first protest held in February, where 4,000 people showed up.
