they might win coz WP there not very outstanding
It's frustrating when people say the WP or opposition aren't contributing in Parliament. As a minority party, their role isn't to push through policies but to offer alternative views and hold the government accountable. They do speak up, but often their ideas are ignored.

In a system where the ruling party has the majority, expecting the opposition to achieve much is unrealistic. Their value lies in challenging and providing checks and balances, even if their proposals don't always pass.

The WP team there has been on the ground since they were elected MPs for the GRC.

In fact there has been town halls being organised once every few months for residents to attend and to voice out their concerns.

Very happy to have WP as the incumbent and will continue to vote for them this GE.

I agree with you, LMW has definitely spoken out more, and I think LMW and PSP are doing what WP used to do in the past. Let’s not forget that WP was once vocal and played a key role in speaking up. Credit should still go to WP for standing up for Singapore.

Given their position in Parliament and the RK scandal, they likely want to avoid sounding too extreme or giving the incumbent a 'gotcha' moment to maintain their place. Their role right now is more about keeping the incumbent in check, which is valuable. They’re also trying to avoid being seen as a party that opposes just for the sake of opposition.

Enough of elites who messed up country, citizen lives ???

What are their plans other than keep prolifigate spending building these and that and no $$ tax everywhere ?

Throw file in Parliament is Singapore or Singapore way ? How many in Parliament got hearts to serve nation and resident or just to follow party ? Party above nation and citizen ?

A life in this world only 60-90 years, why make people suffering more and more ?
