Discontent among WP's old guard..Internal election drama at Workers' Party HQ

Goh Meng Seng said:

The Veterans didn't manage to capture the CEC, you are right about that.

But the Veterans managed to send in their "representatives" into CEC and they are just showing, "don't mess around with us" kind of defiance. Especially so when they managed to get rid of Swee Bee who is deemed as totally lack of tact and disrespectful to them and many others.

The so-called "veterans" who were voted into the CEC actually joined the party later than the outgoing CEC members. The 3 girls who were booted out were longer in the party compared to John and Soma. They are mistaken as "veterans" only because of their age. That is TNP propaganda for you, and you of all people fell for it.

Eugene Tan is the biggest pretender of being a political commentator - like his father Augustine Tan, now in search of long gone glory.

As rightly pointed out by BC, Fazli and Sajeev were not "veterans" either. Fazli is younger than all 6 and Sajeev admitted to being inactive from 2006 to 2011 - an entire off-election term until WP called him to fill a minority gap (which I think was WP's mistake). Which explains why Sajeev hasn't joined other parties since he is hardly motivated by a pro-Singapore cause.

Jane Leong of the "new guard" is 50 plus.
