Dear Overseas Singaporeans, THANK YOU!!! After almost 6 weeks, we have finally gained the momentum we needed to push this forward. This now marks the BEGINNING of our campaign! For not having a defeatist attitude, you have now paved the way for some real change through proper lobbying. Thank you for giving this petition a chance to make a difference. Thank you for not saying "What's the point?" Once we crossed the 1,000 signature mark, we were able to obtain important press coverage that is firing up our support at an unprecedented speed. I urge you to continuing getting press releases out to your friends in the media and also to get more signatures in this petition. Your support is vital in our success in eliminating irrelevant policies in Singapore. **ALL SINGAPORE STUFF ARTICLE** https://www.facebook.com/allsgstuff/posts/2111684658972252 **THE ONLINE CITIZEN ARTICLE** http://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2015/08/overseas-singaporeans-risk-being-outlawed-with-medishield-life/ **I WILL KEEP THIS PETITION LIVE** We don't want to stop at 1,000. The bigger the number of signatures, the stronger our cause. 1,500? 3,000? Let's keep going! There are more than 200,000 Overseas Singaporeans after all. Most of them who have heard about this petition have chosen to sign. Let's keep reaching those who are still in the dark about this! **WHAT HAPPENS NOW?** - Do know that our voices are being heard! More press coverage is being planned. Please let me know if you would like to be involved in sharing your story. Please also go ahead and contact your own media sources to get your articles published and share them with us! - We are also planning to submit this petition to the Medishield Life Council, CPF, MOH and various MPs. I believe we will have a response from them soon. - Keep sending in your emails to "request for exemptions" to CPF and MOH and let us know what their replies to you are. The more lame their reply, the stronger it makes our case. **SPECIAL THANK YOU** We would not have made the 1,000 signature mark if not for your support but in particular, I'm giving special shout out to:- 1. Justina Lee Myers (London) for her relentless effort in getting us press coverage. You are one big lobang queen and now a very dear friend to me! You have amazing resourcefulness and undying strength! 2. Lydia N Ariel Rahmann (Seattle) for requesting for an extension on this petition and giving me strength when I was close to giving up. 3. Christine Soo (London) for sharing and sharing and sharing... You never stopped and this gave me so much more will to keep going. Together, let's make a difference in the way Singapore consults its citizens in policy-making. Majulah Singapura! Juliet Low.
