Dear
Sirs,
I hope this letter finds you well.
I would
like to invite you and other opposition party and civil society
leaders to speak at a public forum. Entitled "Reform of the
Election System in Singapore" we hope to use the occasion to
discuss what can be done to remedy the deficiencies of our
electoral process.
As you know, a genuinely free and fair
election system benefits not just the opposition but also, and
more important, the people whom we serve.
I would like to
propose 13 January 2008, Sunday, for the forum. If you find the
date inconvenient, please suggest an alternative and I will try
to coordinate with the other invitees to find a mutually
convenient date for all.
In the meantime we will book a
venue for the meeting and will inform you of the details as soon
as they become available.
I hope that you will respond
favourably to this invitation and look forward to hearing from
you.
Sincerely,
Chee Soon
Juan
Secretary-General
Singapore Democratic Party
