Workers' Party (WP) chairperson Sylvia Lim believes Singaporeans are ready to accept more «rational, respectable and responsible opposition MPs». In the political parties' second and final television broadcast this general election aired on Thursday (May 1), Lim's speech was themed around a «new spirit» as Singapore celebrates 60 years of independence this year. «We are cohesive enough as a society, robust enough as an economy and mature enough as a nation,» the 60-year-old said. Lim added that even if all WP candidates this election are elected, the People's Action Party (PAP) will still have a strong mandate to govern. «But it will govern subject to scrutiny by well-qualified, dedicated, and independent WP MPs.» WP is fielding 26 candidates this election. It will be defending 10 seats in Aljunied GRC, Sengkang GRC and Hougang SMC while challenging for 16 more in the GRCs of Tampines, Punggol, East Coast, and the SMCs of Tampines Changkat and Jalan Kayu.
