Since news broke that the Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh and MP Faisal Manap may face criminal charges, there has been a flurry of activity online. Some expressed despair, while others exuded a steely resilience. Some even found solace last year’s national day song to say – “We did it before, We’ll do it …

Well, in times like these, the best place to seek guidance is from the ones who have walked down this path before, and who will continue to walk down this path. In the past 24 hours, many WP leaders, both past and present, have penned their thoughts on the latest developments. These statements are worthy of closer examination.First, we start off with the man of the hour, Pritam Singh. His statement was issued within an hour of the press release.

What we found interesting was how WP’s statements situate the current situation amongst historical struggles, trials ,and tribulations. Reference was also made to their 2nd Secretary General, the late JB Jeyaretnam’s criminal proceedings in the 1980s. The message was a simple, yet powerful, one – We’ve been here before, we came out stronger. We can, and will, do so again.Chua, WP’s MP for Sengkang, took a more sombre tone in his posts.

Many a times, she helped stepped in for Raeesah to help out with constituency work. She is a town councilor for Sengkang GRC too. Earlier today, after a social media hiatus, she came forward to speak up about her newfound fear that people might think twice before serving in an opposition party. It is a shot in the dark here, but we dare say that WP will emerge from this episode stronger, even if the worst case scenario happens. Each time one Pritam is barred from running for elections, 5 more will rise and take its place.
