Detailed Discussion with Jasper Kuan – GE2025 Podcast: Insights from Workers' Party's Jasper Kuan on His Three-Hour Talk with Former Leadership Figure Low Thia Khiang that Influenced His Political Participation

Fresh Version:

Jasper Kuan, the East Coast GRC's Workers' Party candidate, ponders if this might not be the best time for him to dive into politics due to his trio of young kiddos. Yet, he spills the beans to Steven Chia about how a heart-to-heart with Low Thia Khiang flipped his decision and why, as a former Gifted Education Programme teacher, he thinks our education system needs a structural overhaul.

It all started post-2020 General Election when Jasper lent a helping hand with community projects and Meet-the-People sessions in Hougang. This stint ignited a spark within him that, when coupled with mentorship from heavyweights like Low Thia Khiang and Dennis Tan, sealed his faith in the Workers' Party as the "loyal opposition," pushing for better policies and a more well-rounded political landscape.

Personal experiences, especially as a dad and educator, also played a pivotal role. Jasper's family's tale—particularly his wife's parents who hail from Hong Kong and dwelled in Singapore—served as the catalyst to protect Singapore's political stability and democratic dialogue. He stresses the importance of policies prioritizing Singaporeans' well-being, especially younger generations, drawing from his insights into education and family matters.

Though he concedes that the timing might not be spot-on, Jasper portrays his candidacy as a rallying cry for voters to step up and build a more welcoming political future. So, are you ready to lend a hand in this journey?
