Parliament 2023

[Fcw75]

Dr Chee:

The latest news regarding Minister S Iswaran being investigated by the CPIB came as a bombshell. But the equally vexing question in everyone’s mind is why did the Bureau need to seek the “concurrence” of the PM before it commenced a formal probe? 

Questions that naturally arise are: Would investigations proceed if the PM did not give his consent? Have there been previous cases when concurrence was sought but not given? Can’t the Attorney-General launch an investigation if he sees wrongdoing regardless of the PM’s views?

Couple this matter with the recent Ridout debacle when questions swirling around Ministers Shanmugam and Balakrishnan renting luxurious government-owned bungalows – one such question being the Ministers making the rental in their wives’ names – have still not been answered. 

In case anyone missed it, let me repeat SDP’s call for an independent commission of Inquiry to look into the ins and outs of the matter. The more the PAP resists the move, the more questions it raises in the minds of Singaporeans. 

Then, there is the expletive uttered by, of all people, the Speaker who unceremoniously cursed, albeit under his breath, at a fellow member of the House.

Mr Tan Chuan Jin has apologized for his language. But when the Speaker of Parliament displays such contempt for views he disagrees with, consideration should be given to his replacement.

Mr Tan’s deputy, Christopher de Souza, also found himself in a spot of bother. A practising lawyer, Mr de Souza was recently found guilty by the Law Society of assisting his client in suppressing evidence in a case he was conducting. Mr de Souza remains Deputy Speaker pending his appeal of the matter.            

Then, there was the instance when Leader of the House Indranee Rajah she, in a fit of pique, raised a file she was holding and brought it down tempestuously during a Parliamentary session. This was in response to the conduct of an MP she considered worthy of rebuke. It was a most unedifying sight to behold.

“Mr Speaker,” she then thundered, “as Leader of the House, I would just like to remind members to conduct themselves in a parliamentary manner. And the tone in which we address one another is important. I would therefore ask Mr Leong to be mindful of that.” 

Irony is dead.

Now, back to Dr Balakrishnan. Readers will remember that a couple of years ago, the Minister was caught on a hot mic calling an opposition MP “illiterate”. He later apologised.

These are just some recent instances of the behaviour of PAP leaders. Singapore’s political leadership is obviously not in a good place. Worse, the direction it is taking us is just as troubling.

When a country is ruled by one and the same party for nearly six decades – all this time without an effective opposition – is it any wonder that political decay begins to set in?

The decay was already set in stone when Ah Gong decided to pass the baton to his jr.

No capable person will stand forward.

If this person is ever in parliament, he will be as irritating as LMW to the PAP…if not more.

Most of the PAP MPs won’t be dozing off like now. 😴

In short, with LHL being a weak leader, all his underlings become their own Indian chiefs, and do as they like.

Wah, where else can he go? From ministar become speaker already.

Maybe join his friend at NTUC.

[PSP415]

😅😂😂

Bloody hot mic. 

I am reminded of some past incidents here where certain ones "attacked" Mod Radx for some of his comments or rather took offence that cos he is a Moderator, he "should not" said what he said. 

Numerous times, I took a stand to defend him, solely on the basis that he is entitled to his personal opinion, Mod or otherwise. 

Being a Moderator does not mean he must suppressed his own opinion or only can share his thoughts in that capacity. Machiam he is only a Moderator 24/7 here, not anything less or more. 

TCJ made an inappropriate remark. It is his personal thoughts and he voiced it over a hot mic. It is wrong to have said it where he sat and he ought to keep his thoughts very tightly private. 

But I loved that he shared his honest opinion, cos I agreed with him. Oops. 

Please ah, the cockles of my heart is still alive and well.

I can agree with his opinion here does not mean that I agree that it was an appropriate place and time to voice it. 

Just like some of those who are against Modz Radx's comments here cos it's not appropriate for someone in his "position" to say what he did, those times. 

😂And yes, TCJ is not Modz Radx and vice versa. 

Poverty line sounds like a bad idea anyways. We have ppl in new Mercs grabbing 2nd hand textbooks, ppl run off after pumping petrol, dun pay carpark fees. 

Most will suddenly become poor overnight and jam the poverty line. I am assuming without details of how it work ya. So like a few crystal ball gazers, I see very dangerous outcomes. 😅😂😂

BTW the PSP Mr Leong is really a pain in the xxx. My personal opinion ah. I state here, just for fun, my nick PSP is no part of the political party, my nick was used years ago, before political party formed. 

Yada-ing. Stay safe all. Cheers
