The honourable thing to do right now I feel is for PM Lee to step aside, hand to Lawrence, and hold early election. Start everyone on a clean slate and sweep out all the bad actors.

Otherwise if they keep kena scandal after scandal, their position will become untenable.

This can be interpreted both ways..  but probably the way many people thinking. 🤔

Else,  it would be pretty silly and highly insensitive to put them together this way. The WP thingy only makes it more suspicious.

So now how many GRCs short of MPs? West Coast, Marine Parade and Tampines? Xiao Long's head must be very big now.
