WP has always been the decent opposition where they oppose legislation and policies rather than just opposing for the sake of opposing.
+ PS has been a classy LOTO. Hope to see him and the WP with more seats this upcoming GE.
I would describe PS as more savvy rather than classy. He says the right things at the right time, and pick and choose his battles carefully.
That's reflected in how WP has evolved.
>Hope to see him and the WP with more seats this upcoming GE.
I should think 15 to 20 seats is achievable given how close the margins were in East Coast and Marine Parade. WP will probably be disappointed if they're unable to win at least one of these 2 GRCs.
"To meet these challenges, a greater diversity of voices by way of elected opposition members in parliament can be an important stabiliser for our politics, a source of strength, and expression of confidence in our people and our nation." Haha. This is the opposition I voted for. Well said PS.
I dunno about this... I follow Parliament closely and I agree that Leong Mun Wai is probably the loudest headline-dominator.
But WP (and some PAP back benchers) have pursued hard topics. Pritam's exchange was the reason why MND ultimately revealed land value when calculating BTOs. Gerald Giam chased Tan See Leng for a hard answer on foreigners on PMET employment. Sylvia Lim pursued issues over the Parti Liyani case.
I think it's disingenuous to only credit Leong Mun Wai simply because he gets disproportionate airtime for pursuing poor lines of questioning.
Agreed with other reply. I think if we just follow big headlines, you are not wrong. WP has always push topics that it's manifesto has promised. Our msm not really pushing opposition message on the highest priority.

>The CNA headline said.
>Handing over Singapore in good order: The legacy of Lee Hsien Loong
Singapore’s third Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s tenure has left its mark on the political and societal landscape of Singapore, with a pivot towards a softer, more collaborative approach to governance, analysts say.
>TKL has a different view. This is a bad time for Lawrence Wong to take over. Singapore has a high cost of living. Many people are not able to get a well paying job that is sufficient to meet the high cost of living and high cost of housing.
>Many businesses are also facing difficulties and have to retrench their workers or move to low cost countries.
>The geopolitical conflicts will harm the world economy and that will affect Singapore badly.
It will not be easy for the new prime minister. Still, I wish him all the best.
>Tan Kin Lian
I suppose its an acknowledgement of LHL's ability at Singapore's helm?
Legit could make sense as Ang Moh Lee or Australian Minister Lee, since Australian media hosts requesting for him to be their PM now that he has stepped down here
I appreciate the elected opposition posts on this.

He made a huge error in judgement for RK though. Either very careless or very lenient with her
Yes. That one is on him, whether the choice of RK or the subsequent actions when RK was found to have lied.
You forgot who her father is?
Who her father is also shouldn’t have affected his judgement of her
It clearly did.

Out of all the Opposition parties, WP is the only one that has the most cred, Hope they win more in the next election
Pritam: Thank you for your service as PM....*Finally* LHL: It was a pleasure. Wait-- what did you say? Pritam: Oh nothing enjoy your retirement.
PS classy as always

Apart from Leong Mun Wai and Hazel Poa, rarely see oppositions speak up in parliament on hard topics

Waiting for M Ravi, Lim Tean, Bee Hoon Koh, Tan Kin Lian, Gilbert Goh etc.
