Imo, Saliva Lim Swee Lian is the real daughter of S'pore. Before her, WP did not attract the "England fighter jets." It was perceived, rightly or wrongly, as a "Chinese helicopter" party. She tilted that perception to one that is now neutral. The real deal came in 2011 when a gentleman joined the WP - Ah Mao. Most people then wondered why such an accomplished gentleman would give up his career to join the WP. The impact he made was significant. No surprise he attracted He Ting Ru to the WP. I am quite sure Leon was also partly or fully influenced by CSM's entry to WP.
