Are We There Yet?
I can't help noticing the msm and PAP politicians doing their best to discredit Yaw Shin Leong and Workers' Party. Are they there yet? Is enough, enough?
The last salvo came from Ho Kah Leong, a former PAP MP and senior parliamentary secretary. [Link]
The response from Low Thia Khiang to Ho Kah Leong makes PAP look real bad. It is embarrassing for the ruling party to be caught with its pants down. It's worthwhile to note that:
- If Low Thia Khiang was wrong in his judgement of character in selecting Yaw Shin Leong as a MP, I think Lee Kuan Yew did worse, much worse. In PAP's 'stringent selection criteria for its candidates' how on earth did we end up with cases involving Teh Cheang Wan (Minister for National Development of 80's); Wee Toon Boon (Minister of State for Environment of 70's) and Tan Kia Gan (Minister for National Development of 60's).
- If Low Thia Khiang is considered irresponsible and has "let down the voters in Hougang" by calling for a by-election in Hougang, then the 1992 by-election played out in Marine Parade GRC must make Goh Chok Tong a more deplorable person for "letting down" many more voters in Marine Parade GRC.
- The perpetual complaint of Law Shin Leong's expulsion being 'hasty and careless' should be put to rest since WP has already explained that Yaw's expulsion was due to his continued refusal to present himself to the CEC to clear the air.
PAP and msm has scraped hard to discredit Yaw and WP. The more they try, the more they hurt their credibility. "Come clean"? Just how clean does Khaw Boon Wan and PAP want WP to come? If PAP and the msm continue to carelessly throw stones, their glass houses together with their credibility and respect will soon turn to smithereens.
I hope the latest announcement by the Speaker [Link] and his coming revelation on Tuesday will lead us to some fresh air.

Meanwhile, let's hope that the paparazzi, reporters and journalists will be kind to Yaw Shin Leong's wife. Give the poor lady a break.

Talking about coming clean, I'm shocked to read this at CNA Forum [Link]. I wonder if it came from a Hollywood scriptwriter.

When Shanmugam asked Pritam to put his heart and swear in parliament that our Press is objective and non-partisan. I began to question Shanmugan's motive because it is obvious that we don't just see foxtail of PAP sticking out under the press, the whole fox are now out and about hounding Yaw's story like there is no tomorrow.
On the other side of the planet, Wee Choo Kiang (the father of Desmond Choo in PAP) remained on bail pending trial for bribery. Many other corruption cases involved principal, civil servants were not fully reported. So what makes Yaw's story so palatable for PAP? I can only tell Shanmugam that Singapore press is PAP-CONTROLLED AND IT HAS A LOT OF AGENDA TO PULL DOWN PAP OPPONENTS MAKING UNBALANCED REPORTS.
The pap is much much worst then the WP with regards to coming cleaning and letting Singaporeans down when they removed one of the candidates from the Tampines GRC at the very last minute in GE2011. pap told us nothing about the reasons of the removal. There were rumours that the said candidate didn't behave himself also. How come the msm never go after him like they did to YSL? If local msm can be trusted then pig can fly, you know?
I think I will follow the example of developed democracies in GE 2016.
Vote in Opposition Members of Parliament to ask the necessary questions.
I think it is more effective than asking questions in the internet.

That PAP candidate was Steve Tan. Ho Kah Leong should be ashamed of himself. It is like the pot calling the kettle black when he says the WP should have screened its candidates more carefully before putting up for election. The PAP themselves had to withdraw Steve Tan as a candidate. As for poor candidate selection, what about Tin Pei Ling and Puthucheary?
HO KAH LEONG IS PAP STOOGE, Reader of chinese newspaper must know the fact who he is and why he wrote the way he did to tarnish opposition image. There is no credibility of him to speak of. Please save your own money from buying this kind of shit papers everyday.
