Local politicians from all sides rushed to offer their well-wishes in the wake of former Workers’ Party (WP) chief Low Thia Khiang’s recent hospitalisation from a fall. But one message in particular has drawn some flak.

Netizens have accused Reform Party (RP) of “politicising” Low’s accident after the party released a statement on May 3 comparing it to the death of former Aljunied-Hougang-Punggol East Town Council (AHPETC) secretary Danny Loh.

In a statement on Facebook, the party, which is led by Kenneth Jeyaretnam, wished Low a “swift recovery”.

However, it went on to add: “This fall bears a troubling resemblance to the circumstances in which Danny Loh, who was the managing agent of Aljunied Town Council passed away. We wonder whether stress caused by Gov investigations has been a factor.”
