However, the conspicuous silence does not seem to have affected the ardent trust supporters have in the party
SINGAPORE: The Workers’ Party has continued to maintain its silence on member and former Non-Constituency Member of Parliament Daniel Goh’s expulsion from the party, close to two weeks since Assoc Prof Goh announced his unceremonious dismissal, sparking concerns about what is perceived to be a lack of transparency within the opposition party.
Although he did not elaborate on the details of the “inner workings” he referred to, the ex-NCMP had previously mentioned in 2022 that WP had established a disciplinary committee to investigate his Facebook posts about the Raeesah Khan saga. Assoc Prof Goh had made several Facebook posts concerning how the party handled Raeesah Khan’s admission of lying in Parliament in 2021. In one post, Assoc Prof Goh had urged the party’s disciplinary panel, responsible for investigating Raeesah’s admission, not to throw her under the bus.
Others, however, are concerned that the party has yet to publicly address the matter. Former Straits Times editor Bertha Henson is one such voice. Referring to how heavily redacted the expulsion letter Assoc Prof Goh shared was, Ms Henson said:
