    I’m curious to know if the PM did inform TCJ wife back in Nov 2020. If I was the wife, I will feel bad not only did my husband cheat on me, even my country PM did not tell me the truth when he knew of this.
    I’m just baffled that PM allowed TCJ and his mistress whom both have questionable behaviour despite their high salary to work in office. If u cannot be honest to even ur family, how can u be honest to ur country. Omg.

    The Parliamentary sitting that exonerated Ministers K Shanmugam and Vivian Balakrishnan was, in our opinion, remarkably unsatisfactory - raising more questions than it answered.”
    The party expressed concerns that the public’s reactions to the findings - marked by anger and a sense of injustice - were warranted.
    The controversial rentals involve bungalows from the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) at 26 and 31 Ridout Road.
    Through the reports by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) and Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean, it has come to light that these properties were rented not under the ministers’ names but their wives’, a situation that the SDP describes as particularly troubling.

    • @franciscody9622
      @franciscody9622 Рік тому +4

      We still do not know if the two ministers are renting out their GCB at a much higher rent that what are paying to SLA so they are making a big profit monthly in addition to their million $ yearly salary. The scope of CPIB investigation only covered the rental of the Ridput properties. Making a profit is not a crime but as public officials they should bebopen and transparent and provide the full picture.

    The SDP statement further argued that the biggest indictment of the Ministers might not come in Parliament, given the People’s Action Party’s (PAP) support of the two. However, they suggested that, “in the minds of the people, this episode is heavily laced with the stench of hypocrisy.”
    The party concluded that “this matter has shown, yet again, that without a strong opposition presence in Parliament, Singaporeans cannot hope to consistently and procedurally hold their Ministers accountable.”

    As we have seen, to be a Prime Minister is not a walk in the park. Not only have you to ensure that the country develops and prospers, but the people's welfare and well-being as well. Additionally, the people who work under him as well as members of the political party that makes the government. Singapore has done very well in many of these aspects Many governments and countries would be envious indeed . To a prime ministers who is handing over the government to its successor to face such bombshells is indeed painful. This is on top of the personal problems he faces with his family. The right thing now of course is to stay on and clear up the problems before handling over the government in good shape. it would also be a valuable exemplary lesson to showcase to the younger leaders how the government or party solve its problems. Surely PM Lee and his very experienced senior ministers would be able to overcome these setbacks and put Singapore in order before they leave the scene. It would be a pity if the people see it as a failure of a government and its leaders and throw caution to the wind.

    • @Raella94
      @Raella94 Рік тому

      While I agree with you that the excuse given for the delay in letting TCJ go is weak, the fundamental difference between Iswaran and TCJ is that Iswaran is under investigation for a criminal act while adultery is (unfortunately) not a crime in Singapore. Considering that a minister wields significant power, any delay in cutting off Iswaran's access to official resources may hinder the investigations, making his case more time-sensitive than TCJ's.

    You hid things from all Singaporeans for years since the last election. You’re now forthcoming with Singaporeans. Your delay is very questionable. Admitting you should have said it earlier and not taking responsibility shows you allow one standard for yourself and another for the rest

      How about the Leader of Opposition? He also knew his member’s extra-marital affair but just assumed that it didn’t happen? He did not probe further when they just denied it. By the way, he’s a lawyer. I would think twice about hiring him to represent me for any case.🤨
