Wokers' Party Low Thia Khiang's victory speech
"Supporters of Aljunied GRC and Hougang SMC, as well as supporters all over Singapore.
You have made history tonight. This is a political landmark in modern Singapore. Your courage has been a real breakthrough for future generations.
We know this has not been (an) easy decision for all of you. You have cast aside doubts and fears, and have taken a real leap of faith.
Your votes tell us that the Government that you want is a home, not just a house. Your votes tell the world that Singapore is not just an economic success to you. Singapore is our home.
Your votes tell us that you want Singapore to grow and develop as a nation. Your votes tell the world that you want Singapore to mature as a democracy, that you want to tell the Government that you want a more responsive, inclusive, transparent, accountable government.
And that the Government maintains a separation between the ruling party and the state and upholds the rule of law.
You want a more caring political leadership that truly listens to each and every Singaporean, especially those who need more assistance.
You have entrusted (to) us your mandate to serve you in Aljunied GRC and to represent you without fear or favour in Parliament. We will do our best to honour your trust in us.
To our members and supporters, the WP (would not have) come to this moment without your tremendous, unwavering support. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Singapore is taking a step forward on a journey. Let us walk this journey together towards a First World Parliament."
