SINGAPORE – The balance in Parliament remains important even as Singapore fights Covid-19 together, said Workers’ Party (WP) chief Pritam Singh on Saturday (June 27), as he urged Singaporeans to vote to ensure there is a credible opposition in the House.
Speaking at the party’s candidate introduction press conference, Mr Singh noted that the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) will have a strong mandate even if the WP wins all the 21 seats it is contesting.
“The PAP are going to contest in 93 seats, the Workers Party is contesting in 21 seats, and that leaves us potentially 72 seats in PAP’s hands. I’m not sure whether that equates to a weak mandate. I think that’s still a strong mandate for the PAP,” he said.
“So what I believe Singaporeans should also consider is, as all of us collectively fight Covid-19, what about the balance in Parliament?”
Mr Singh also responded to a question about how the WP would react if their candidates find themselves in the same circumstances as PAP candidate Ivan Lim, who has been criticised online by some who say they have had bad experiences with him in the past.
