WP’s performance during this GE was heads and shoulders above the rest of the opposition parties. They fielded good candidates and ran a disciplined, well-strategized campaign. They showed commendable dedication to continue working the ground after the 2006 GE and built up a credible branding with a solid foundation, led by the able leaderships of Sylvia Lim and LTK. Their recruitment process was a success – I’m especially impressed with Pritam Singh, CSM and Png Eng Huat. I’m sure WP will further build on this historical landmark victory and attract more talents into their team during these 5 years.
On a sidenote, I hope the other opposition teams will set WP as the benchmark for improvement. I’m especially heartened to see some very good potentials like Nicole & Tony Tan from NSP, Vincent, Michelle and TJS from SDP etc. What they should do is learn from WP on ways to improve on their leadership, planning, strategies and recruitment process. Both these parties lacked the disciplined leadership of WP. For SDP, they used to be a good brand under the respected Mr Chiam but now the brand is tainted for obvious reasons.
