The Workers’ Party’s candidate for Jalan Kayu SMC Andre Low says he sees himself as an underdog contesting against the People’s Action Party’s (PAP) Ng Chee Meng.
"He has three stars to his name and I don't have a single one to mine, but like I said before, I think I offer a different proposition,” said Low.

00:00I still believe I'm the underdog here, right?
00:08Mr. Ng comes with an as well star-studded CV, right?
00:14He literally has three stars to my name, and I do not have a single...
00:17Sorry, he has three stars to his name, and I do not have a single one to my name.
00:21But like I said before, I think I offer a different proposition.
00:24Not necessarily a better proposition.
00:26I think we are equals in many ways.
00:28But I would urge voters to really choose between whether they want someone experienced in the old way of doing things,
00:35or someone who offers a fresh perspective.
00:37So I would say I relish the challenge, actually.
00:40I wasn't really daunted.
00:43In a way, it's very personal to me that he represents a lot of things that I do not like about the way Singapore is governed today.
00:52And that's why I...
00:53Like I said before, the scholar general pathway, which is oversaturated, I think, and let that be chief among them.
01:01And then also, a lack of transparency and accountability.
01:04I'm not saying this about specifically Mr. Ng, but the administration at large, right?
01:08Singaporeans are asking for more accountability, more open communication.
01:12We want to know why decisions are being made, not just after they have been made,
01:16and just being told to us by diktat.
01:19And so that is why I decided to step up.
