    The difference is that PM Lee said he knew about it 2 years ago, while Pritam is lying about WP members being so gullible and naive that none of them speak or contacted the driver on such serious allegation between 2 heavy weight in WP. Another take it to grave incident that goes wrong. Leon and Nicole are important assets to WP, and there is good reason why Pritam wish to take it to grave. But as Singaporeans, Pritam is not a person to be trusted.

    Whether they need to interview the whistleblower / or he was already interviewed is irrelevant because TJC already admitted which corroborates the account of the whistleblower. It's not the same case with the WP.

    Basically to score political points, and to cover their hinds with legendary lawyer's intrigues and legalism. For example, did you peruse the ENTIRE interview - if you have listened to the press conference "CAREFULLY" - WHICH I DON'T THINK HE DID - ........" (how to verify there and then?) Somehow the explanation didn't come cross frankly or sincerely - a certain element is lacking vis-a-vis the body language. Army lingo - trying to smoke or 'siam'.

It's already an embarrassment and save their children and innocent people from further embarrassment. Should learn from the PRC Chinese practice regarding their new foreign minister - they have 5000 years of history you know. But the western media insist on knowing and wanting to embarrass the CPC, its government and the country. Lee Kuan Yew once even said that the west (aka CIA) offer to bribe him lack that finesse and wisdom.

    "Perhaps we should query that?" I would paraphase and echo Pritam's reply for you - have you perused my [PM's] speech or press interviews - OBVIOUSLY YOU DID NOT!). As a result, same questions are asked again and again, and same answers are given again and again, albeit in different words or phrases. Precis or executive summary is obviously not a forte of the MPs. Any Tom, Dick and Harry in the street would be bored down with the "showdown" in Parliament saved the law-trained and practising lawyer PMs. Lawyers - and interrogators as well - are legendary in asking questions again and again in different forms and phrases till you are too tired and unwittingly fall into their trap with a simple yes or no.

    WP still serves a very viable role of providing a credible opposition. Any government, no matter how proficient, should still be held accountable as the public demands more transparency. Perhaps the key benefit of seeing such a sizeable number of MPs this past four years is that Singaporeans are now cognisant about the need for more opposition in Parliament as a check and balance. The WP, to their credit, have played this role very well.

    Aiyah...both sides had people with indiscretions? I still think a Speaker and an MP affair is more damaging and has a higher conflict of interest than an MP and a member of his party who isn't a MP but that's just my perceived view 😅 Anyways there are more pressing matters like the cost of living, housing, employment of locals, the ratio of new migrants etc to debate about that going in circles and slinging mud at each other....or is this just a way of seeing who is the last man standing? If so, I am disgusted by both parties....but the PAP started this gutter politics first.

    i don't think this view is correct. Leon Parera's driver and any issues the driver has with Leon Parera is his own matter to bear. It is a matter between employer-employee. Is the driver a WP member? I don't remember there being any info that the driver is a WP member. Even if Pritam Singh wants to interview the driver - why does the driver need to compell to the interview request? Also, even if the interview goes through - and the driver gives all the spicy info about the affair. Pritam would still need to corroborate with the couple right? And that he did (even without the interview) - and they lied and now they have resigned (if not Pritam did say he would have sacked the both of them)

    Singaporeans at large seem to highly regard lawyers (perhaps also because LKY was also a lawyer) but elsewhere in developed nations, lawyers are seen as shady blood-suckers with no moral compass, the scums of any society and the butt of many a joke. Here's one I recall of a comic sketch: A boy and his mother pass by a gravestone with the following inscription - "Here lies a lawyer and a good man". Whereupon the boy asks his mother: "Why do they bury two men in one grave?"! (the moral - no lawyer can ever be a good man!)

    The handling of these two cases presents a glaring disparity. The WP leaders were rigorously scrutinized and interrogated for their two-month delay in managing Raeesah Khan’s issue. In contrast, PM Lee’s three-year concealment of Tan Chuan-Jin’s affair raises serious questions about transparency and accountability, especially considering that both MPs continued their political roles despite the PM’s knowledge of the affair. Suppose the COP investigation was necessary for WP leaders following Khan’s resignation. Should there not be a similar inquiry into the PAP’s handling of Tan Chuan-Jin’s case, to clarify who knew about the affair, when and whether there was a deliberate attempt to cover up the affair to the Parliament and general public?

    Hahahaha. Here on the internet we have people writing to advocate the public not to pry into the private lives of the politicians that are caught in scandals and be moral police to judge and condemn them while in parliament house itself we have the whole house with everyone of them asking how things happened,what was done to restore the image and credibility of the political party and both sides taunt each other trying to attack and take a dig at each other integrity, trustability and morality. In simple words it means outside some of the public might be moral police and kaypoh chees and some are soothsayers trying to encourage the public not to get involved and worked up in the private lives of others but inside the parliament house the entire lot of them are responsible for providing the fuel and drama non stop by dedicating multiple sessions of parliamentary meeting to talk non stop on these matters. The madness of it all. No eyes to see this country anymore. The unwashed mass can be forgiven for not knowing better but when the so called creme of the crop in the country are doing these nonsense and gossips instead of their sworn national duties it is truly a disgrace to watch and listen to them already. If you are able to qualified to be in parliament you are supposed to be an elite and intellectual higher developed than the common people outside but ask yourselves what have you all been doing all these time in the parliament house. Theatrics,schemes and time wasting red herring endeavours. You all have become lost in life by now already without even realising it.
