WP spoke, but PAP didn’t listen: Low
http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/wp-spoke-pap-didnt-listen-low
Finally, Low Tidak Khiang has admitted that his Vichy party has been totally impotent in parliament as all their attempts to appease and collaborate with the PAP regime has fallen on deaf ears.
It is very painful for Low Tidak Khiang to finally realize that his over 20 years in parliament has not made any changes to the PAP regime, their policies and people’s livelihood. He has finally admitted that his shameful style of Collaborationist ‘Opposition’ is a total failure.
Addressing to the Punggol people at the rally, an embittered Low Tidak Khiang admits his style of Collaborationist ‘Opposition’ has been a pathetic failure in stopping the PAP regime from implementing all their unpopular policies in all his 20 years in parliament:

You can imagine what a bitter blow it is to me that all my long struggle to win appeasement has failed. Yet I cannot believe that there is anything more or anything different I could have done and that would have been more successful.
Up to the very last it would have been quite possible to have arranged an appeaseful and honourable collaboration between PAP and WP, but Hsien Loong would not have it.
He had evidently made up his mind to attack WP and to retain Punggol whatever happened; and although he now says we have never put forward any reasonable proposals which were debated in the Parliament, that is not a true statement.
Our proposals were never shown in the papers nor on TV; and though they were announced in our Party Manifesto only during elections, Hsien Loong did not wait to make comment on them, but ordered his Ministers to implement all the unpopular policies the next morning after Parliament readings.
His actions show convincingly that there is no chance of expecting that this man will ever give up his practice of using force to gain his will. He can only be stopped by force.
We are today, in fulfilment of our obligations, going to the aid of Punggol SMC, who are so bravely resisting this wicked and unprovoked attack on her people. We have a clear conscience. We have done all that any Vichy Party could do to establish apeasement. But the situation in which no word given by PAP’s leaders could be trusted and no voters or party could feel themselves safe has become intolerable.
And now that we have resolved to finish it, I know that you will play your part with calmness and courage.
