CONGRATS WP
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Workers’ Party on its sucessful election of the new Central Executive Comittee recently.
Congratulations also to the 3 new fresh faces for being sucessfully elected into the Central Comittee. This show that the party is on the right path for leadership renewal and that it can hold free and fair elections… It truely shows how democratic the party is, with the organising members free to vote and decide who should sit in the comittee. Congrats to one and all.
Hopefully with the induction of the 3 new faces, it will help direct and move the party to achieve a greater height, more than just being a governtment watchdog. Hopefully too, the party will be strengthen and come out stronger for the next coming General Election and win more seats…
But one thing i fear is that the party will become more elitist in its views. I fear that it will become another PAP and that is the day i dread to think of. Negative thoughts aside….
I hope to see that the party will be able to work with other opposition parties like the Reform Party, SDA and even with SDP. For me, opposition unity is very important. We can’t walk alone. Each parties may have different way of doing or handling things, but at the end of the day, unity and co-operation is very important if you want to succeed. I believe that the different approaches taken by the various parties will complement each other. And at the end of the day, its the opposition as a whole which will benefit.
Let us take a look at the Pakatan Rakyat. Even though they may have their differences in their approaches or views, they came together, form an alliance and see their fruits of labour… They manage to capture 5 states! I hope that the opposition parties in Singapore take notes of that.
Last but not least, i long to see a Singapore Opposition Alliance being form for the next coming election or after. I hope to see every single constituency and GRC’s being contested and hopefully too, more credible people will come forward to offer their help and service and even stand as candidates for the opposition. PAP is already out of touch with the people. Its time to teach them a lesson or two….
