When news broke that former transport minister S Iswaran had been indicted on graft charges, the anti-government types was raring to go. The PAP’s squeaky-clean image, which they had prided themselves on, had been tarnished by one of their own. The high ministerial salaries, a fail-safe against corruption, had seemingly failed the test. Unfortunately for…
A little seen parliamentary question filed by Jamus Lim in 2021 is suddenly gaining new attention online. Of all the questions filed in July’s parliamentary session, there was one that raised eyebrows. Considering all that is going on in the world, it is somewhat astonishing that Jamus Lim from the Worker’s Party (WP) would wade…
Last month, a gathering took place at Marina Bay Sands. Newly minted Prime Minister Lawrence Wong was there. And so were many other PAP Ministers, MPs and activists decked in their party whites. As it turns out, it was a thank-you event for PAP activists and partners involved in the #refreshPAP exercise. Six months of…
In a post on 11 June 2024, Hong Kong Cherian George returned to flog a dead horse – Nanyang Technological University not granting him tenure more than 10 years ago. Seriously ? People like Cherian, think the world revolves around them. Singaporeans have more serious issues to consider. Move on man. If you are good…
It is one thing when others sneer at us^. It is quite another for a Singaporean to be an apologist for others and simper. Sudhir has defended The Economist’s sneering Singapore. Sudhir is no stranger to siding with foreigners to sneer at us. He grew up in a GCB, but was happy to join Anthony…
So, this week, Leader of the Opposition and Workers’ Party (WP) leader Pritam Singh disputed an inaccuracy in a recent political commentary published in The Straits Times on April 17. He denied the article’s claim that the Workers’ Party aims “to form the Government at the next General Election”. Political analyst Gillian Koh had examined…
When the political drama starring Pritam Singh and Raeesah Khan exploded in 2021, it was greatly overshadowed by a global pandemic. Nobody was in the mood for lying politicians pointing fingers at each other when there were more pressing things on our minds, such as when can we go makan and travel without restrictions? Since then,…
Now that Pritam Singh is officially charged with lying to the Committee of Privileges (COP), one could hear the echoes of hysteria coming from the opposition camp. Who knows what will happen to the Leader of the Opposition (LO), but just in case politics fail to pan out as he hopes, here’s a suggestion for…
FOR A MATTER of such importance and immense national interest, the Leader of the Opposition (LO) Pritam Singh must come out clearly on where his Workers’ Party stands on the issue of bilateral relations with Israel. Leave no doubt. More so, when Mr Singh raised the issue himself in Parliament on February 29 regarding supposed…
When Dr Tan Cheng Bock founded the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) in 2019, it ignited the local political scene abuzz. For here is a former MP from the ruling Party doing an about-turn, jumping ship to join the opposition. His words, “I worry because I see the foundations of good governance eroding”, held gravitas. In…
