Leader of the House Indranee Rajah on how parliament has dealt with Tan Chuan-Jin's hot-mic incident
Leader of the House Indranee Rajah on Wednesday (Aug 2) addressed the hot-mic incident involving former Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin. She said Mr Tan has acknowledged his lapse in the use of an expletive in reaction to a speech by Workers' Party MP Jamus Lim.
She read out Mr Tan's formal apology to the House, and said the "regrettable incident" can be brought to a close.
Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh asked Ms Indranee whether the police should look into how the hot-mic video got circulated in public. He said he has received questions on whether the hot-mic video was a "false flag".

Instead of finding out that sia xuay was a joke that Leong is digging himself but nevertheless need to do what he has to do as an NMP, Indranee uses all might and energy to get Leong, ppl do misinterprete when time to time or misunderstood or even miscommunicate but because she has malu herself by not reading carefully again it becomes Leong's fault to put out misleading statements cos only ART is allow for ppl to have open interpretation, she likes to find every possible way to whip the opposition and silence them. She should look at her own party especially how the former Speaker behaves. I hope SDP, Dr Paul Tambyah will get elected. PAP should asked themselves why they cannot attract ppl like Dr Paul Tambyah.

Please do not be so vindictive! There must have been emotionally-charged exchanges between the ruling party, the opposition parties and possibly the NCMP, thus the Speaker must have tolerated enough and had no choice, but to 'release' pent up frustration listening in to all the speeches and heated exchanges between parliamentarians!
This raises not only questions about personal integrity and public trust, but also draws attention to the actions - or perhaps the inactions - of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Secretary-General of the People’s Action Party (PAP), who, despite knowing of the affair, reappointed Mr Tan to the position of Speaker in August 2020 and allowed him to continue in the role until yesterday. In a sobering moment of reflection, we must consider the implications of PM Lee’s knowledge of Mr Tan’s affair, which was revealed to have come to light to him after the 2020 General Election. It is unknown when the affair commenced or if anyone has had prior knowledge of it.
isn’t Indranee also guilty of “making speculative assertions that are based on an inadequate understanding of the facts too”, no? What Indranee was doing in parliament is looking like the People’s Action Party (PAP)’s latest Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in dealing with the growing scandals and public displeasure against the government - just keep complicating the “facts” until everyone gets confused, tired or lost, and hopefully will be forgotten when another more pressing issue come along.

I always have nothing to say whenever scandals have broke out in parliament and they start to respond and reply to it afterward. Because all these are part of the aftermath of doing political fixing toward each other in life inside the parliament house. Meaning what they are talking in it right now are all things related to their doings and they are trying to justify,defend and validate their actions in it. A parliament house should be use to discuss on the issues and interests of the citizens and country. That is what the citizens vote and elect to send these people in to do in the first place but whether it's opposition or pap they have all long lost their way and focus on this already. They have strayed so far by now in life. All they do non stop in parliament is to try and fix each other all day long. I tell you Singapore is going to be finished with these people continuing to do what they are doing nowadays.

Pritam suggested a police report. Yes, a police report should be made. The purpose is to find out who released the video. This person may be an insider within the Parliament dept. If so, there is an offence.

I like how they just avoid calling him Dr. Jamus Lim.

This raises the question: how long would the Singaporean public have been left in the dark if HPL hadn’t announced Mr Ong’s arrest on Friday morning? It appears that the PAP government is releasing information in a piecemeal fashion, only in response to details entering the public domain. Is this what DPM Wong deems as being “upfront and transparent” to the Singaporean public? It was only after HPL’s disclosure-necessitated by the rules of the Singapore Stock Exchange-that the public became aware of Mr Ong’s arrest and subsequently leading to queries from the media about whether Mr Iswaran was arrested. Even on 13 July, the PMO did not disclose information about Mr Iswaran’s arrest or bail situation to the media.
was not aware? watch the video again few of the ministers turn their head towards the speaker after he says

Pay so high, won't resign one lah.
How Indranee, when questioned by parliamentarians from the Workers’ Party (WP) and the Progress Singapore Party (PSP), ended up claiming that the “short answer” is - she herself does not know if the six executives had authorized the bribery payment or had knowledge of the payment. Thanks to the hard questioning from members from the opposition parties, Indranee unwittingly ended up opening several cans of worms and has in fact make the whole case more daunting for the CPIB, AGC and ultimately, even for PM Lee.

I thought Ms Indranee dissected it well. You cannot group all of them into 1 issue. She only address on hot mic issues. Good questions from opposition party. However opposition party kind of loose his ground after questioning, I think we should not go for tits for tat. Same for ruling party, no need to keep going for suing in court. We are all Singaporean and we all well educated to know the underlying intend. Keep the intend close to the ground and be objective and both parties will we votes from the ground. Smearing campaign does not earn votes 😂

You wan us to move cause these scandals make pap look bad don’t tell other people to move on
Just censure and remind all members that such behaviour is unacceptable. No need to bring in so many other examples...
I think speaker should be scrutinized for being neutral not to be bias. The police should investigate the suspicion of espionage.
So uncouth and terribly unprofessional conduct by a supposedly respectable Speaker of Parliament of the Republic of Singapore. Such behaviour must not be condoned in any State establishments such as Government Ministries, Statutory Boards and even the State Courts.
Her selective outlook on who to hold accountable
Ermmm, maybe she should had used Mr Pak You of Malaysia as an example
If this house leader is younger, she probably be someone's lover, who knows 😂😂
