“We want to show Singaporeans that if you vote in an opposition party, it doesn't mean your town is going to descend into chaos.”

“Every so often, progress on race and religion occur precisely because an issue surfaces.”

“However, should any Singaporean consistently establish that he or she rejects Singapore or our Constitution or runs Singapore down with a political agenda overseas, neither I, nor the WP will stand for such conduct.”

“Referring to the PAP as uncaring so as to persuade some of our fellow Singaporeans to consider casting their vote for the WP will be self-defeating for us.”

“Our long-term dream is for Singapore to have a healthy democracy where there are two or three parties who could form a competent and honest Government.”

“There is a real risk of a parliament dominated completely by elected PAP MPs. Is that a good outcome for Singapore? I would suggest it's not.”

“Wisdom would dictate that a sense of proportion, empathy and balance should drive how the Workers' Party approaches Singapore politics.”

“There are potential safety gaps that need to be considered and improvements which need to be made. I hope that these can be swiftly and thoughtfully instituted with the professionalism the SAF is known for, so that Singaporeans can rest easy knowing our military women and men are operationally ready to keep Singapore safe and secure at all times.”

“Indeed, many Singaporeans hope the opposition can unite and coordinate their efforts so as to become a more relevant political force.”

“I think Singaporeans will realize that when you vote elected opposition MPs into Parliament, the Government is more responsive and more sensitive to the concerns of the people.”

“We have to put the best team to offer a secure alternative to Singaporeans - let me stress, the best team, not the best individuals... The party must comprise members who work with others and not march to their own drumbeat.”

“Instead of considering the tremendous contributions people of faith, including Christians and Muslims have made on society and helping those in need and providing a sacred canopy for the faithful, some of respected religious figures and friends are singularly judged through their views on Section 377A.”

“The political outcome that is desired is one which makes any government sensitive to the pulse of the people and their welfare, allowing any ruling party to govern without gridlock while promoting the political openness that so many of us yearn for in Singapore.”

“I have always admired the courage of ordinary individuals to step up and speak out against injustice and tyranny.”
