After decades of unchallenged political dominance by the People's Action Party (PAP), Singapore has entered a period of political transition. This transformative phase commenced with the loss of a Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in the 2011 general election (GE2011). However, the PAP experienced a significant resurgence in popularity following the passing of founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew in the 2015 general election. The transition picked up again in the 2020 general election with the loss of yet another GRC. This captivating book delves into the Workers' Party, Singapore's foremost opposition party, through the insightful perspectives of Yee Jenn Jong, a former Non-constituency Member of Parliament and Central Executive Committee member. Jenn Jong's journey into opposition politics took an unexpected turn just weeks before GE2011, resulting in a narrow loss of just one percent of the popular vote. In this captivating book, he recounts his three electoral contests from 2011 to 2020, his parliamentary work, and his involvement in opposition politics. The primary objective of this book is to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the nature of the work undertaken by opposition politicians in Singapore, a nation that has been dominated by the PAP's narrative since 1959. Furthermore, the author shares his thoughts on the future trajectory of Singapore's political landscape.
