Workers' Party chief Low Thia Khiang has rebutted critics of it being an arrogant party that does not uphold opposition unity, over its refusal to negotiate with other parties who gets to contest the Punggol East by-election.
He says the diversity in the "complex" opposition camp, with its different leaders and political beliefs, makes it hard for unity to be achieved.
Citing how episodes of disunity in other parties in the 1990s had tainted the reputation and growth of the entire opposition including the WP, he says the party has now decided to walk its own path lest history repeats itself and disappoints Singaporeans further again.
"We are not an arrogant party that disrespects others. We're walking our own path so as to prevent history from repeating itself and disappointing Singaporeans further.
"We're doing this so that we can continue to make a contribution to Singapore's democracy," says Mr Low at the WP's second rally on Tuesday night.
