As always... Pritam will show the qualities a Opposition Party should have when debating in the Parliament.. Well done Pritam! 👍👍👍
The PM didn’t answer Pritam question directly . Why the double standard displayed when both political parties are displaying sensitivity in handling the matters (TCJ affairs Vs RK incident) . That PAP expects Singaporeans to understand the delay in revealing TCJ affairs cos “sensitivity” need to be shown towards their family members but for RK incident , Pritam display the same “sensitivity” towards RK family members but was instead questioned about his integrity as a political party leader for deliberately delaying or rather attempting to conceal the incident. All Singaporeans can see the way how Edwin Tong questioned Pritam in the COI. This is exactly what average Singaporean doesn’t like to see , that double standards are displayed and the neutral will all see these as either bullying or witch-hunting . An advice for the PAP is that they should focus on genuine debates on policies , either targeting on how opposition parties proposal or recommendations wouldn’t work rather than using trivial issues to raise a COI and question the integrity of the opposition . Lots of votes will be lost to the neutral because of that since most human beings have this inner psychological resistance to stand up for the weak or anything deemed unfair ,

The PAP have made their bed and stand by it. It’s up to Singaporeans to decide in 2025 Some Singaporean are still angry at how Edwin tong acted like a prosecutor and judge or inquisitor and made insinuations against Pritam in the COI. I will decide on based on how the economy performs as it is more important to me.
The opposition has established that they are necessary in the political eco-system of Singapore.
When palmar affair was found , he immediately offered resignation, credits to him , but tan was found out 3 yrs ago , didn’t not submit resignation until his hot mic incident. I think Tan threw a good tantrum at PAP for abandoning him in 4G leader race .
The video of Leon Perara and Nicole Seah wound have been more devastating for WP if it was released after the candidates for the next GE has been selected and campaigning is about to start. Releasing it now actually "helped" WP because the PAP just had a similar and more serious scandal.

It actually backfired on the Pro Govt third parties who were behind this leak. I am sure that non of the elected MPs or ministers have any involvement in this matter. They are simply extremely smart and very highly educated.
The bed is different but the action is the same...LOL
Pritam doing well.
I thought PM like to use the word inappropriate relationship. Now use back the word extramarital affair? So which is which? I'm confused. Is extramarital affair the same as inappropriate relationship

New rule for those who going to enter politics should include swearing of oath on ex-marital affairs in the party that it should be severely dealth with who ever they are whatever position they are in - sack immediately to uphold the standard n intergrity of the party n Singaporean who pay their high salary from local breed Singaporean especially those poor .
This level of debate is something that Low Thia Kiang wouldn't have been capable of. WP brings our Opposition to another level. I'm coming from a neutral perspective

Come on It can’t be just a single person behind this… Execution is too perfect.
Still want to spend many hour, day and week talk about MP inappropriate conduct in Parliament after those political party involved had taken internal steps to resolve the issue. Let's move on with other issues. 🥴🥴
Singh talk only.
LHL didn’t even answer the question wtf
2:20 LHL said he won't go into the specifics of why Michael Palmer & Laura Ong's case was different from TCJ and CLH's case. I suspect Michael Palmer's case was more of a husband-mistress relationship while TCJ's case was more of a FWB one. Lol.

At the end of the day, LHL is getting soft on his own people in his old age just like how Chiang Kai Shek let corruption fester in the KMT’s ranks leading him to lose popular support and eventually entire Chinese mainland after WW2. LHL is no longer the man he was in 2004. Many years of holding the PM position has weared him down significantly due to the very high stress.

Huh? Answer like no answer

As a famous tik toker would say, My choice My rules ...
It is called "inappropriate behavior" and not adultery. Perhaps TCJ is muslim and entitled to have 5 wives. Come on! cut the crap ! and just say PAP will legalised adultery with a new term called " inappropriate behavior". How pathetic can this get as if the clown thinks adultery is only legal for themselves.
Singapore is sinking. Proof that parliament time is used to fix each other
His answer is not straight forward still tries to make wrongs seem right
Pm Lee stepdown don't waste time no talk mush pay our CPF
For PAP, matters are reported and actions are taken to resolve. Opposition will sweep matters u der the carpet like the reason adultery case despite the driver approaching the party leader and members.
加 油Mr Pritam Singh 👍, Chinese name Mr别担心😄
Pritam Singh pinnacle of perfection as the Next PM, very eloquence & highly Credible. He standout as the perfect example of World Class PM Quality. Many People like me thank him for serving Singapore and Singaporeans. 100% Vote for him.
It still makes me angry when I hear the word rape from pritam singh. When he have to answer to vikraam he was very defensive.

What is the relationship between the govt and the opposition in the British parliamentary system we inherited from the British ?
Why is Pritam comparing possible extra marital affairs with Raeesah lying at Parliament? Two different matters.
Got the cheek to question? Leon P + Nicole Seah?

Somehow the more i look at Pritam, the more i despise him. Especially in view of his handling of his ex MP innSengkang GRC in the lying case about SPF. 😁🤔
Pritam singh, being the WP leader, is currently being probed by the police for lying under oath. He has serious problems relating to responsibility, credibility and morality. 🤣🤣 He needs to go for surgery urgently to address his throat problem so that he does not sound like a woman every now and then.
