When Pritam Singh announced he would be donating 50% of his salary, the all-noble and charitable Ho Ching was so surprised by his generosity that she wanted people to know that there are also people (ehem) who donate without making announcements.

On the first night that PSP posters were put up in Bukit Batok, several were found to be vandalised and on the floor instead of its original position hung on the lamp post. But the PAP posters above it were left intact and undamaged.

With the General Elections being called soon, it appears that the PAP has started smear campaigns against opposition party members. During the Budget debate on 5 June, Pritam Singh said Singapore should be fortunate that we have citizens who are “loving critics”. Even though Pritam Singh did not name any specific person, Tan Wu Meng inferred that Pritam Singh had spoken in support of Alfian Sa'at. Tan Wu Meng then took this opportunity to smear Pritam Singh who had supposedly voiced support for Alfian Sa'at. Tan Wu Meng asked if Pritam Singh still thinks Alfian Sa'at is a "loving critic" of Singapore based on selected screenshots of Alfian's comments, and went a step further to accuse Pritam Singh of being a "loving critic" himself if he supports Alfian.

Guy who appeared on a picture on DPM Tharman's FB clarified that he was not the one who asked about gutter politics. However, he recalled asking about the EP and was not surprised when his question went unanswered.

DPM Tharman disagreed that PAP engages in gutter politics but why didn't anyone refute similar accusations during the Bukit Batok By-Election, when almost 5000 people signed a statement calling on PM Lee to stop his party from such behaviour?

This Town Council isn't fooling anyone. The only things they were considering, is their job security

See this PAP supporter page. Their behaviour is disgusting and symptomatic of the gutter politics in Singapore. Not sure if they are stalking Dr Chee Soon Juan and his family but they snapped his photo when he visited IKEA Tampines with his wife. Why stoop to such low levels to discredit our Opposition politicians? Is there no better way to debate and forward our politics? Only because Dr Chee go to IKEA during office hours, PAP fans take a dig at him, mocking him for being jobless?

We are a group of Singaporeans who have been following the progress of the current Bukit Batok by-elections. We would like to categorically state that we do not condone the personal attacks and character assassination made by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob, and Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Grace Fu, against Dr Chee Soon Juan of the SDP.
