If PAP wants to instill confidence in Singaporeans, it should also disclose all the investments near market highs in 2007 and 2008. It should not be afraid to let the people know the number of investments that have gone pock kai, are deeply submerged or recovered and earning good returns. If DPM Tharman is really eat finish too free, he should spend more time with his constituents as domestic chronic issues are worsening by the day. A non transparent and unaccountable government definitely needs this lecture. The LKYSPP should organise another conference specifically targetted at PAP members.

The SDP welcomes Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam's call to “returning to politics that is honest with the people.” This is good advice. But what exactly is honest politics? Honest politics is ensuring that the media is not subjugated by the government so that the people read and hear only its side of the story. Honest politics is making sure that elections are not conducted by a body that answers to the Prime Minister's Office.
