Honestly, I felt that part of the reason SDP even poll close to 40% during 2011 GE in Holland-Bukit Timah was also in part due to Vincent Wijeysingha.

He alr left by 2013 but in GE 2011, he was abit like Jamus in 2020. He was really eloquent and even held his own against Tharman in the debate. Gerald Giam, in comparison did not perform as good as him then.

Naturally, without him SDP did not manage to hit the heights after that. Plus, in 2020 TJS still got a bit of negativity from his SingFirst foray in 2015 + his involvement in the PE 2011.

Oh Yeah now that you reminded me of Vincent. Indeed he is impressive and in 2011 GE, that SDP team was considered the second most “star studded” after WP’s team in Aljunied.

they are living examples of people from humble roots but made it to success through the meritocratic system singapore has, which is supposed to reward people for hard work and competency.

but whether people believe it or not is another thing la. haha.
