Workers’ Party (WP) MP Jamus Lim has invited Singaporeans to submit short video clips showing what they “make time for” as part of the party’s National Day social media video.
In a TikTok video posted by @thehammertok on 15 July, Mr Lim highlighted how people often say they have “no time”.
“No time. We hear it all the time, No time for movies? No time for singing? No time for… football?” he said.
However, he added that if we were “honest with ourselves”, we would find time for the things that truly mattered.
“If we really want to make the time, we will find the time,” he explained.
Mr Lim then invited Singaporeans to share what they make time for in a 10 to 15 second video clip.
Those who do may get a chance to be featured in WP’s National Day video.
The post also shared several ideas for inspiration. These included spending time with Teochew grandparents, filming a mukbang of a favourite hawker meal, and hiking with a pet in Maju Forest.
Other suggestions were showcasing a neighbourhood hidden gem, or highlighting a favourite arts and culture spot in Singapore.

Participants can submit their videos via a Google form.
WP also asked contributors to record videos in a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio at 1080 x 1920 resolution and to save them in MPEG-4 or .mov format.
Filters such as beautifying and wide angle should also be turned off.
The party will incorporate selected submissions into its social media video, which it will release on National Day. Submissions close on 26 July.
The TikTok video has garnered over a hundred comments, with one netizen impressed by its creativity.
