Workers' Party chief Low Thia Khiang cautioned the public against
reading too much into opposition group's election victory in
Punggol East.
"We can't take the by-election result as one that is going to be a
trend in the future," Low told reporters Sunday before going on a
parade to thank voters for giving party candidate Lee Li Lian a
decisive win at the polls on Saturday.
Lee garnered 54.5 per cent of the votes cast whereas the ruling
People's Action Party's candidate got 43 per cent. Two other
opposition candidates got less than 2 per cent of the votes
combined.
"I think you have to look at the Punggol East results in
perspective. People in Punggol East had no worries about
accidentally throwing out the government," he pointed out.
Low, who during the campaign asked that residents vote for WP to
give the PAP a wake-up "slap", said voters were willing to give the
WP the mandate to make sure the PAP did its job,
He noted that the government has started to review policies but
that the changes need time to take effect.
WP's role, he said, based on the message of voters, was to act as a
check and balance to the government.
==================
that explain why WP is not my favourite. don't really trust
them.
Mr low thia kiang is being realistics. if he has the power and
control of funds like the PM lee, he wont be giving this humble
speech during wins.
if he has the means and resources - he will fight, we will
fight, everyone who is sgrean will!
you want low to fight? give him the support in during his office
and if he prove his worth and is trying very hard, give him the
mandate agin next GE or any possible BE that comes by!
