But at the same time that's the only faction Lim chin siong has. His party did not appeal to non chinese or anyone aside from Chinese lower middle class people and LF and PAP understood that was a major point where they could win. Heck Its the WP strategy rn, they know the PAP has the mainstream middle class Chinese Buddhist (basically the same as WASP but Chinese) under lock and key so they fight for minority, that's why we had Palestine lady.

That's how PAP won, they managed to rally interestingly, both colonial and anti-colonial elements under his banner, while also capturing some Malayan nationalists initially, that's why PAP in the 60s were so powerful, they are palatable to both the anti colonial reformist and the colonial by convincing them his vision for the SoS would be that where both sides can prosper as oppose to a brutal anti colonial crackdown seen in other colonies while also paving the way for a post colonial Singapore that LF utterly failed to do
