SINGAPORE — An election rally held last week by Singapore’s main opposition Workers’ Party drew thousands to an open field still wet from earlier rain. As the crowd pressed toward the stage, mud crept past attendees’ soaked shoes and up to their ankles, but few seemed to mind.
“A parliament with a more rational, respectable, and responsive WP will not hamper Singapore,” party leader Pritam Singh said as he closed out the night’s speeches, drawing cheers from the audience. “We counter the groupthink of the PAP and suggest alternative ideas to better the lives of all Singaporeans,” Singh stressed.
