THE Workers' Party (WP) on Saturday unveiled its manifesto and campaign slogan at its party headquarters along Syed Alwi Road.
Titled Towards A First World Parliament, the manifesto contains 15 points on a diverse range of national issues like economic growth, the electoral process, public housing and the judiciary.
The WP slogan for the looming general election, which is widely believed to happen within the next few weeks, is 'Vote for Workers' Party, towards a first world parliament'
Leading the panel at the press conference was WP chairman and Non-Constituency MP Sylvia Lim. Other panellists included likely candidates Mr Pritam Singh, Mr Gerald Giam, Mr Png Eng Huat, Mr Yaw Shin Leong and Mr Md Faisal Abdul Manap.
Party chief and veteran MP Low Thia Khiang was also present but he is not part of the panel.
In 2006, WP launched its manifesto about four months before the elections.
It sparked off a war of words between the government and WP leaders, prompting calls from at least three ministers to the party to change four points which they said were 'timebombs', but the opposition party stuck to its guns.

Next, PAP will respond: "With only PAP in the parliament, it is already a first world parliament. Vote in more opposition, it will become third world parliament."
