Dear Members,

Sylvia Lim, Chairman of the Workers’ Party (WP), was part of the opposition team which broke the political mould in Singapore during the 2011 General Election, winning the Aljunied Group Representative Constituency (GRC) with 54.7% of the votes.  The first ever GRC loss for the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) resulted in three PAP Ministers losing their seats in Parliament and consequently, their jobs.

The lawyer and former lecturer has since also seen the PAP defeated in two other by-elections– one in Hougang and the other in Punggol East.

Has the political tide in Singapore turned?

How did the WP with its limited resources so quickly reshape itself into a credible party which gained the confidence of Singaporeans?

What does the WP stand for and do they have what it takes to govern Singapore? When do they expect to be ready?

Ask these and more of Sylvia Lim during a closed-door special session we have been able to arrange for our members.

This is bound to be a memorable dialogue session and will be moderated by Paul Supramaniam.

Do note that Chatham House Rules will apply, and attendance is strictly limited to 35 persons and only to Oxbridge Society members (no guests).
