What do you make of the Workers' Party's silence?

It's been over 2 weeks since the Workers' Party historic victory in Aljunied GRC.
I was one of the thousands of Singaporeans rejoicing in this momentous event.
Born are five heroes who will take the battle to 81 other PAP MPs in Parliment.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'd deliberately driven into Aljunied GRC just this past weekend to get a feel of the change in the air.

Since then, a number of significant things happened- Stepping down of MM and SM, reshuffling of the Cabinet, Ministerial salary reviews, Woodlands water tank incident etc.

But the Workers' Party has kept largely silent. The only comment of note was Low Thia Khiang quoted in Straits Times "praising" the Cabinet musical chairs.

While it's WP's prerogative when the want to comment, some people think they are adopting an overly cautious approach in their quest for a first world parliment.

Personally, I urge Singaporeans to give this new GRC team time to prove their track record.
History has shown that it doesn't pay to take the confrontational route with PAP.
However noble the causes, Dr. Chee's and his party's image had suffered all these years due to the media's portrayal of them as the "rebellious" bunch.
If not for this, one could argue that the SDP could have performed even better this elections.

Singaporeans, especially the older generation, are too used to LKY's  approach where he has moulded a whole generation into obedient and apolitical people who view rebels with an admonishing eye.

So I feel WP knows this very well.
And I hope that the five Aljunied GRC MPs will take the good fight to PAP in Parliment and be that alternative voice they have promised voters.

Best summed up in Pritam Singh's May 5 rally.- "We raise national issues rationally, respectably and responsibly..."
