Highlighting his party’s experience during the debate on free trade agreements and the Singapore-India Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement, he said getting information on the number of intra-corporate transferees from India that worked in Singapore was like “squeezing blood from a stone”.
“The reality is that the Workers’ Party is a small party and we have a long way to go,” he said, adding that the party's medium-term objective is to "ensure that one-third of the seats in this house are not in the PAP's hands".
While the party does not seek a revolution that includes a change of government at this stage of Singapore’s political development, he said PAP should not rest on its laurels as this can change.
“What if a rogue government sprang from the bosom of the PAP?” he asked.
"Singaporeans want an opposition to check the PAP because in their heart of hearts, we all know that ownself check ownself is not realistic. The inherent nature of power makes this unrealistic."

This decoy Lawrence is a nuisance instead of getting his job done properly and disciplining his peers. Lacking logic in his grey matter when Opposition has no power to set any policies in the first place.
