WP has been stress-tested and is a 'force for good' in times of crisis, says Pritam

ALTERNATIVE VOICE The reality is this: When you have a position in Parliament, your alternative voice, your views, are heard by the Government.

Despite the uncertain economic climate, Singaporeans should vote the WP into Parliament, as the party has shown that it can be a "force for good" in times of crisis, said party chief Pritam Singh.

Speaking at a rally in Sengkang on April 24, Mr Singh devoted much of his speech to addressing why global uncertainty triggered by the trade war between the US and China should not discourage voters from backing the WP.

A Parliament with "more rational, respectable and responsive" WP MPs will not hamper Singapore, he said.

"The Workers' Party has been stress-tested when Singapore was in crisis," he added, citing the party's actions during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Even the PAP acknowledged how the WP supported the national effort during the pandemic, Mr Singh said.

"The Workers' Party is a force for good. We coalesce as one people with Singaporeans in the face of danger. The Workers' Party has proven itself to be a loyal opposition in Parliament, loyal not to the PAP, loyal to Singapore and the people of Singapore," he added.
