Don waste tax payer money for their high salary whereas our local breed Singaporean seniors have to resort to sell tissue paper at train stations to make ends meet.those who can't serves the country n their citizens wholeheartedly then should go sell tissue paper as well n feel how it was like to worked in food courts washing plates n selling tissue papers with wheelchair.

    1)There is no requirement for the speaker to be an elected-MP, going forward I suggest considering appointing non-politicians as speaker. 2) Retired judges or professors of good reputation and public standing would make good options. They would certainly be perceived as more neutral and impartial. 3) It would also have the advantage of freeing up one MP to participate in debate, because as it stands now, if your MP becomes speaker, he/she cannot speak up on issues in parliament, because speaker cannot participate in debate.

    The Leader of Opposition Pritam Singh is on fire and raised critical questions on the behaviour of the ruling party keeping information from the public and took so long to reveal this extra marital affairs to the public. He has raised sharp and relevant questions on the standing comm selection of the two adulterers. Had the ruling party been empathy on the case of Raesha Khan, the public would have seen the ruling party in a different light. Anyway, let the other 60% Singaporeans judge for themselves whether they want more of the oppositions to be voted into Parliament to be a good check and balance rather than ownself check ownself where an affair was kept from the public for at least 3 years and many other issues such as the Ridout properties case, Iswaran's case, etc. If LKY was still around, LCJ and CLH would have been sacked long ago. There is clearly a different standards in the dealing of matters from opposition and the ruling party. if it is the oppositions, the news will report as "extra marital affairs" and if it is ruling party, it will be reported as "inappropriate behaviour". Please dont take the public as idiots when you use words like this usng the news trying to create an impression of the public towards the oppositions. Gone are the days where you get LKY to speak and everyone will believe.

    Shanmugam's statement is misleading. Pritam Singh referred to the sensitivity that he needed to portray to Raesha Khan when she revealed that she was a rape victim. Shanmugam then said Pritam Singh wasn't sensitive when he was interrogated by the Committee of Privileges (COP). COP was fact-finding, and Pritam Singh had to be direct and put facts on the record, but Shanmugam and the COP wanted to dance around the fact by calling it "sexual assault".

    ❤ Leong Mun Wai could have replied that his question was about whether any law has been broken when citizens are Secretly or Covertly filmed. Reason is the responder to his question cited himself being filmed by PSP members. But this is not done covertly but openly where the responder indicated he was aware. To covertly film people, does it not require PI license?
