The Committee of Privileges just had a hearing with Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh on 10 Dec (Friday) about Raeesah Khan’s lie. During the hearing, Edwin Tong kept asking Pritam if the false anecdote would have an “adverse impact on the police”. Pritam stood his ground and said no, …

Making use of the media like that only show voters that they are right in standing with the opposition. People in Aljunied, Hougang and Sengkang remain behind their WP MPs!

Just last night, Workers’ Party announced that Raeesah Khan resigned after admitting that she lied in parliament. Yes she shouldn’t have lied, but good on her for admitting her mistake, apologizing, and then correcting her mistake by leaving the party. WP also deserves praise for not trying to sweep this …

As a sign of how disconnected from reality Koh Poh Koon is, even CPF millionaire guru Loo Cheng Chuan has spoken out against bringing home anything less than $1,300.

Sengkang MP Raeesah Khan has also spoken up on the issue of minimum wage. She offers a perspective as someone who has worked with those who earn below livable wage.

As I listened intuitively again to the PM’s speech on Wednesday to the Presidential address of our 14th Parliament, I can’t help but feel the current incessant attacks on the PM’s remarks about “free riders” have been taken out of context. It seemed as though the PM was desperately trying to buy his way out of the argument on the reason not to vote for the Opposition. Political discourse here should be shaped by sharp acumen, logic and sound reasoning rather than just jumping on the bandwagon to draw blood.

Political appointees have no financial role, safe to say merely ‘approving’ the use of the $5 billion. If the PM is talking about decision making, it is the civil servants who are making the decision behind the scene, collating, presenting, advising where the draw down and transfer of money comes from. So is the prime minister trying to draw wool over people’s eyes when he said, ‘It is a big decision, S$5 billion of supplementary budget.
