Use Your Hands Campaign

You know election fever is on when even the hearing impaired is roped into the political proselytising. The Singapore Association for the Deaf (SADeaf) has produced a series of general election-related sign language videos to help decipher the gobbledygook that will be spewed forth by politicians of various parties. The limited vocabulary include uniquely Singapore etymological gems like "Group Representation Constituencies", but not "gerrymandering" or "foreign talent". And the horrible person is signed off as a guy with tunnel-vision and a humongous ego. Surely the only key words in the American Sign Language (ASL) we need at the rallies are:

VOTE
Your vote is secret, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
REMEMBER
Those promises to do better? You haven't forgotten, have you?
RETURN
As in return-our-cpf, not let those clowns come back to parliament again.
BREAKDOWN
Not restricted just to trains. Mobile network, internet access, floods, you name it, we've got it.
FOOD
We all have to eat, but please don't trade your vote for a packet of chicken rice.

RAISE HAND
All in favour of VTO, kee-chiu!
