SINGAPORE: Workers' Party Secretary-General Low Thia Khiang has said that any serious opposition party will need to capture a Group Representation Constituency (GRC) at the upcoming General Election to make progress.

"The GRC has been the trump card of PAP and mechanism for gerrymandering," said the opposition MP for Hougang. "What happens if something happens to (opposition MP) Mr Chiam (See Tong) or something happens to me? Can we maintain Hougang? There's always this question.

"If you are in GRC, perhaps you can ensure a smoother renewal and continuity...So any serious opposition candidate, serious opposition party would need to seek a breakthrough in the GRC."

Mr Low was speaking to reporters after visiting the New Upper Changi Road Food Centre, which is part of East Coast GRC, on Sunday.

The Workers' Party has expressed interest in contesting there.

Mr Low also said the Workers' Party is not seeking to form the next or alternative government at this point in time and that he has no ambition to be the Prime Minister.

Mr Low was accompanied by council members including treasurer Eric Tan, youth wing president Koh Choon Yong and Gerald Giam.

LTK should stop talking big. Ask him to come out of his Hougang shell first. Been hiding inside the shell like tortoise. Even an injured CST has decided to throw his hat into the GRC ring.

CST's health cannot make it already. If he don't do it now, then when? 2 oppo has made no inroads after so many years.
