Andre Low, the Workers' Party's (WP) new face, said he and his opponent Ng Chee Meng from the People's Action Party (PAP) — who are contesting for Jalan Kayu SMC — represent «two very different kinds of candidates». Speaking to the media during a doorstop interview at Fernvale Hawker Centre on Sunday (April 27) with party secretary-general Pritam Singh and party chair Sylvia Lim, Low, 34, said he hopes residents from the constituency will «put their trust» in WP. «We (him and Ng) are over 20 years apart in age.

He's reached the very top of the military career pathway, and I spent my entire career in the private sector through many different roles... »I feel like it's time for Jalan Kayu residents to make a choice if they want a different kind of parliamentarian — someone fresh, someone energetic, someone with new ideas.«  When asked about the challenges he is facing for the contest, Low told AsiaOne: »I don't think this is a challenge per se, but I still see myself as the underdog here. Mr Ng comes with a star-studded CV.
