SINGAPORE - The Workers' Party (WP) on Tuesday (May 25) called on Singaporeans to work together and be kind to one another as the nation continues to battle the Covid-19 pandemic.

Sengkang GRC MPs He Ting Ru, Jamus Lim, Raeesah Khan and Louis Chua, along with Hougang MP Dennis Tan and WP's East Coast GRC team members Nicole Seah and Kenneth Foo delivered the message in a video posted to the party's social media channels.

Associate Professor Lim noted that some countries are still fiercely battling the effects of Covid-19 while others are cautiously moving to reopen their economies.

"Here in Singapore, we recently moved to phase two (heightened alert) as we address the leakage of cases in our community," he said.

Ms Raeesah, who appeared in the video carrying her infant, highlighted the pandemic’s impact on women, especially those affected by personal conflicts such as domestic abuse. She noted that domestic abuse has worsened amid lockdowns, and despite the advantages of working from home, women have had to take on multiple roles.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
PHOTO: "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32).
Sometimes we forget that showing kindness takes practice—because we’re only human, it doesn’t always come naturally.
Don’t worry if kindness doesn’t come easy to you. Follow the Bible verses about patience to remind us that with a little time and meditating on these Bible verses about prayer, kindness can become second nature. [2]

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

". . . in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus." (Ephesians 2:7).
If you’re looking for ways to spread kindness and joy to your neighbors, friends, family, co-workers and even strangers, take them a meal. Attach a note to it with one of these happy life quotes or Bible verses about love. [2]
