The silent foot soldiers of the Workers’ Party

[Confuseous]

When DPM Teo threw what might be called a “Molotov cocktail” at Png, questioning his honesty and integrity, the WP instead stood firm, closed ranks and literally took the fight to the streets and to each and every flat in Hougang in the 48 hours before Polling Day.

Mr Yee disclosed, on his Facebook page, how the volunteers, along with Png and all 7 MPs and NCMPs “fanned out to cover all flats in the final 48 hours of campaigning to counter the unjustified allegations.”

The message: WP does not take things lying down, and they are willing to go the distance to right a wrong. However, its methods may not be what the PAP expects – such as suing the perceived assailant in the courts. It instead goes to the people to be judged, as it did in 2006, in 2011 and now in 2012. As Mr Yee said with regards to Hougang, it is the people “who are the source of [the WP’s] strength”. It is the people who will pronounce judgement and vindication, or condemnation.

At 322, as the party’s press conference was broadcast on television, and the coffeeshop crowd continued to celebrate the victory, WP volunteers stood quietly at their corner.

I salute these foot soldiers. These people are the unsung heroes. WP needs more such loyal foot soldiers as opposed to paper generals.

LTK set out some rules for community activities and such for both party members and volunteers. It is surprisingly obeyed by most as they understood the implications and consequences to be seen as united and disciplined. GMS can eat shit since he is only talking to his former party contacts and not the new blood.

LTK from the way he speaks is a traditional teochew, chauvinistic fella. but he is good in that way to treat WP as his wife...and slyvia as his mistress...tsk...tsk...

yes, just like how PAP also started from humble beginnings. However, as they gained power and grew in status, they began to morph to today's monster.

nothing against WP just hope that they will remember how their volunteers slog and toil for them in the beginning when one day they will run Singapore - just don't morph into another PAP. Then maybe, the roles will be reversed.

I forsee that if the day comes when WP forms the government, I might have to become a pap supporter if WP provide poor governance.
But probably not within my lifetime, so will cross the bridge if ever come to it.

in politics, one never knows. One is ailing, one is a ticking time bomb - and no heir apparent in place. can quickly descend into chaos.

I'll join PAP once WP comes into power, no sense in giving any party too much control our country. Let's hope PAP fares better as an opposition party than an overgrown fat monster it is today.
