  • In the debate on the parliamentary motion calling on Workers’ Party (WP) MPs Sylvia Lim and Low Thia Khiang to recuse themselves from Aljunied-Hougang Town Council's (AHTC) financial matters, WP chief Pritam Singh said that there is "no reason for Parliament to be prematurely hijacked as a substitute for the judicial process". He added that the party would unanimously vote against the motion. cna.asia/34CM0Cd

    WP has always shown to be very constructive and measured in their debate. It has proven time and time gain and have my utmost respect for them. I can't say the same about PAP, petty politics at best and extemely unconvincing in making policies and passing legislation at whims.

    Sylvia and Pritam really made a difference by talking about the rule of law as a defining characteristic of the country. (Note that both of them come from legal background) Clearly they understand that it is not the Executives in the house to finding the motion before the Court of Appeal case is concluded. Mr. Heng just keep asking and questioning and pushing without understanding the basic Rule of Law!

      Begin with the question whether 4G understands the notions of separation of powers. A real case of absolute power going to the head.
      The only controversy here is a grown man playing with a new toy called sub judice when it ceases to apply beyond trial. The rest are foregone, just like always.

    If the judgement is reversed by the appeal court, can you imagine how stupid and politically inmature HSK and the PAP MPs who voted for the motion would look? Cannot they wait till the final judgement is delivered?

    Premature, because.... PAP knows the outcome of the judgement before it is passed? And is impatient to beat down the WP. Arrogance.... And must be dealt with by #VTO

      @@garfieldandfriends1 agreed. And on that note, Singapore DID have 3-party system, in fact, for 20 over years, when Chiam See Tong (SDP/SDA/SPP) and Low Thia Khiang (WP) were elected opposition MPs. We even had 4 parties from 2001 to 2006 when Steve Chia (NSP) was an NCMP, in addition to Chiam and Low's presence. Has Parliament witnessed any chaos in those years? No.

    The Ban for PMDs are premature as well. Singapore is not ready to handle a ban of this magnitude. It is causing widespread damage of every imaginable level, so bad that a part of our economy may be affected. Not just delivery riders, it affects users of every level.

    This motion was filed because there was a serious judgement by the High Court against two of WP's MPs. What has the WP done to assure Singaporeans that the Aljunied Hougang Town Council's (AHTC) finances are in order? Should the two WP MPs be allowed to still have oversight on the TC's finances? Or should they recuse themselves from financial oversight? These are relevant and serious questions that need to be answered first. Saying that Parliament was "prematurely hijacked as a substitute for the judicial process" is a red herring.
