Singapore's Workers' Party chair Sylvia Lim has highlighted the infusion of younger members into the party, stating that it allows them to take on mentoring roles for the future.

Lim expressed pride in continuing their active roles within the party and emphasized the importance of welcoming new blood to guide them forward.

Lim's message aligns with the philosophy of leadership renewal championed by former WP chief Low Thia Khiang, who recently stepped down after serving for 29 years.
