“Every healthy country needs political balance.”

Why did you join WP?

We need a balanced political system. There needs to be more accountability and ownership of public policy outcomes. This can only come through political competition and debate.

How do you see yourself contributing to that?

Well, I contribute by volunteering with the Workers’ Party to improve accountability and public debate.

What do you hope for Singapore in the next election?

That’s a tough one to answer without seeming to be too partisan! I hope that in the next election, we will see a responsible opposition being entrenched as an integral feature in the political landscape. Every healthy country needs political balance.
