The veteran politician has been with Singapore’s largest opposition party for 38 years, out of which he spent 29 years as an elected MP. Assoc Prof Tan added that the WP’s success in retaining Aljunied GRC in 2015 proved that its earlier victory in 2011 was “no fluke”.“But that required a tight ship and no one can disagree that Low ran a tight ship,” said Associate Professor Tan.

Bernard Chen, who assisted Low as a legislative assistant in WP from 2010 to 2012, said that one of his ex-boss’ pet issues was the “streaming of students according to their capabilities”. Gillian Koh, deputy director for research at the Institute of Policy Studies, a Singapore-based think-tank, said the WP under Low presented alternative views in various policy domains over the years.

That period saw an outpouring of care and concern from Low’s supporters for his well-being — a testament to his popularity.spoke to described Low as a down-to-earth man who was not only helpful, but could empathise with them. He added: “I am a PAP supporter, but I know that Low is a talented politician. He always wanted to contribute to the country and has always loved doing his part. Our country is a result of everyone's effort.”
