A day after Emeritus Senior Minister (ESM) Goh Chok Tong announced his retirement from politics, former Workers’ Party (WP) chief Low Thia Khiang said that he will not be contesting in the coming election.
Earlier on Sunday (June 28), Goh penned a tribute to Low on Facebook, stating that they both have a few things in common. “One, we believe in political succession. Two, we know when to retire. Three, we had compatible goals”.
In regard to the third point, Goh added that he was for a “‘kinder and gentler'” Singapore while Low was for a “constructive and moderate” opposition.
Goh shared that Low’s retirement did not come as a surprise to him as they both had previously discussed in Parliament the prospect of retiring as Member of Parliaments (MPs) at this general election. While they had yet to make their final decision then, they “shook hands on it”.
