SINGAPORE : In his rally speech on Thursday, the Secretary-General of the Workers' Party (WP), Low Thia Khiang, hit out at the People's Action Party (PAP) for gerrymandering, for mounting a personal attack against him, and for being arrogant.
He said the party did not expect the WP to attract talent to contest in a Group Representation Constituency (GRC).
He said he decided to do so, because in the last election, after the party has won 44 per cent of votes in Aljunied, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew challenged him to move out of Hougang SMC.
Mr Low said: "Never would the PAP imagine that there is a chance that a GRC could fall and that there would be a time when the opposition is able to recruit such a pool of talent into their ranks, and especially the candidates for Aljunied GRC. Such is their arrogance and over confidence when they think they have successfully stripped all power away from Singaporeans!"
