Singapore's opposition Workers' Party (WP) celebrated its 69th anniversary on Tuesday (Nov 3) and urged citizens to become monthly donors to continue its mission of building the next 70 years. Pritam Singh, the party's secretary-general, reflected on the party's founding in 1957 by David Marshall, who envisioned a Singapore where diverse voices are heard and a parliamentary democracy thrives.
Singh emphasized the unity demonstrated in the recent General Election, which showed Singaporeans' desire to actively contribute to the nation's well-being. However, he stressed that the WP lacks institutional support and relies solely on its members and like-minded Singaporeans for funding. The party's wins have always been made possible by the contributions of its supporters.
Singh called on individuals to support the WP on a monthly basis, regardless of the amount, as each donation is crucial for the party's ongoing activities and future plans.

Singh expressed gratitude to those who have already supported the party and encouraged continued commitment, stating, "We look forward to building the next 70 together with you, in #WP70 and beyond."
