SINGAPORE — Former Workers’ Party chief Low Thia Khiang insisted that he is not stepping away completely from the political arena, and will continue to serve the public by imparting knowledge and sharing his experiences with the younger generation.
On Wednesday , the WP put up two videos on its Facebook page – one in Mandarin, one in Teochew – with Low explaining his decision not to contest at this GE as well as encouraging voters to vote for the next generation of opposition party members come Polling Day on Friday. Experiences of discrimination prompted entry into politicsLow said that he had hoped to thank his supporters at rallies and house visits during the GE campaign, but as the GE is held amid the COVID-19 pandemic, he decided to convey his “heartfelt appreciation” through video.
“Despite the attacks and ridicules against me, I persisted in voicing out, because this is my conviction.” “The opportunities you have given to the Workers’ Party over the years have encouraged young aspiring Singaporeans to join us, and they now form the next-generation leaders. We owe it to the voters for where the Workers’ Party stands today,” he said.
