Vision for Singapore
As a psychologist, Lue Ping is deeply aware of the risks of groupthink. One of his greatest concerns is the impact of groupthink within Singapore's highest decision-making bodies, which he believes has affected ordinary Singaporeans. He is aligned with the Workers' Party’s conviction that there is a need for more Singaporeans who are willing to speak truth to power, particularly on issues such as the rising cost of living, and the affordability and accessibility of housing and healthcare.
After serving in public healthcare for over two decades, helping patients overcome their struggles, he feels a deeper calling to do more for Singapore. With his extensive experience as a psychologist, he is ready to step forward with the Workers’ Party to help address the daily struggles of fellow Singaporeans in Parliament.
Philosophy and Passions
Lue Ping believes in leading through service- putting what matters to the person first, listening with empathy, co-creating solutions and standing up for those without a voice. For him, helping people solve their problems and improve their wellbeing is deeply satisfying.
Lue Ping is passionate about Singapore football and his dream is to watch Singapore play in the World Cup.
