I am sure whichever party in parliament will be described by some pretending to be "genuine" opposition supporters as the most unworthy of being in parliament.
The SDP in 1991, now WP and will be the same for RP if it wins.
This is a strategy PAP supporters think will work to keep PAP in all seats.

WP is definitely going to lose a lot of votes in the next GE because they have not fulfilled their Election promise of speaking up for Singaporeans which affect their lives! When LTK was asked by LHL whether WKS should be sacked for MAS escape he kept quiet, the answer is simple and straight forward,why was he afraid of? With the exception of GG, the rest of the WP MPs have lost their voices! When hot issues like. CPF, foreigners influx, high cost of living, healthcare cost, housing prices, transportation woe, environmental issues like dengue and haze are everyday online talks and ordinary Singaporeans like Roy , Leong Tze Hian. Hui Hui,are speaking up . They continue to keep mum even though netizens have persistently reminded them of their promises to speak up . 2016 is round the corner please do not ask voters to vote you in so that you can be our voices because all of you have lost your voices!

[h=5]Chen Jiaxi Bernard[/h]I am often asked whether I am working for the Workers' Party or am I full-time into politics? The answer to both questions is "No." Every member (with the exception of members of parliament) in the Workers' Party serve voluntarily out of their free time. As a legislative assistant, I am paid a monthly stipend. It is not much and it often goes towards meeting some personal expenses and grassroots related expenses such as transport and short term assistance. Grassroots work takes up my schedule and often I find myself without time for myself. I do sometime wish that I have more time for myself. I hope my future employer, partner/ spouse can be understanding of my responsibilities at the grassroots and serve alongside me in due course. Whatever time I have would be spent on having a good rest for next day's responsibilities or hanging out with friends from the Party or planning for the next grassroots event/ next appointment for MP Faisal. While it is meaningful to be of service and see lives transformed, grassroots work can be very tiring. We make many sacrifices, often personal ones to sustain our involvement in this endeavour. We do it because we believe in a cause bigger than ourselves, because we want to be a part of making this nation better than the one we inherit from our parents. But behind such noble ideals lie countless decisions, sacrifices and many nights of hard work, often after a day at the office has come to an end and when many are already sound in bed. This has been another of many fruitful weekends. Below are some snippets of my weekend. Now back to camp, to serve in another capacity, as a citizen reservist soldier. Serving part time in politics but working full time for Singapore.

Daniel PS GohBeen having some sleepless nights thinking about being the WP Youth Wing President, since I was appointed last Tuesday. I do have the values, mission, vision, objectives, plans, etc., all pinned down, but what do I hope to accomplish, in the deepest sense of the word, at the end of the two years? What would it ultimately mean to me?
My reflections led me back to my old and ever-haunting words, with this paragraph that nailed it:
But his voice, his challenge continues to loom large. “I take off my hat to the pragmatic ability of our government but there is no soul in our conduct. It is a difficult thing to speak of because it is difficult to put in a computer, and the youth of Singapore is accustomed to computer fault. There is no longer the intellectual ferment, the passionate argument for a better civilization. … Tell me I’m wrong, come on”. What is soul when we no longer lie in “crystal coffins stuck with certificates of your pragmatic abilities”, as Marshall described in 1994, but in colourful pods papered with acclamations of awards and narcissistic displays of self-worth?
What an amazing honour, to be able to labour to prove David Marshall wrong. I start work with my team on Sunday, after the Youth Wing Conference ...

Life is funny for the bittersweet turns it takes. When I first wrote this tribute to David Marshall for his centennial birthday, I had no idea I would join the political party he founded one day....

[h=5]Chen Jiaxi Bernard[/h]There have been many ups and downs in my academic journey. From a neighbourhood school (Pasir Ris Secondary) to failing my A levels (Tampines Junior College) to being granted another chance to start anew (Temasek Polytechnic) to having the privilege to study my favourite discipline, history in Singapore and Oxford, it has been a wonderful journey. Hopeful this journey of mine can be a little inspiration to people reading this. I have tasted the fruits of failure and reap the lessons it has taught me. Failure taught me more than success will ever give me. From a neighbourhood secondary school tucked in a little corner in Tampines to studying at the University of Oxford, it is possible. From a polytechnic in Singapore to a humanities education at Oxford, it can be done. From failing my A levels to an education at Oxford, it is achievable. Look beyond your immediate circumstances and pursue your dreams and interests, to me, it is now a reality.
Thank you to everyone in Singapore who were an integral part of my journey in Oxford. Grateful. Thank you, University of Oxford for the opportunity to study at your institution. And to the Tan Kah Kee foundation for believing in me, I am extremely honoured. And to the many new friendships in the United Kingdom and beyond, I am thankful.

My speech during the debate on the Transboundary Haze Pollution Bill in parliament last week. Despite the challenges that we will face in implementation, I am glad to see this Bill being passed into law. It will give us more control over the situation and to signal our determination to fix the problems. I had first called for our laws to be changed two years ago to punish those that do illegal land clearance through fires even if the acts were committed outside of Singapore.

Great to visit homes in my childhood neighbourhood again. It was even more encouraging to find this family of great supporters with the WP flag and umbrella displayed prominently in their home. We were invited in for their Hari Raya celebration which they were having with colleagues.
