Shanmugam, Leong Mun Wai's Parliament debate on whether Lee Hsien Yang and wife have 'absconded'
Home Affairs and Law Minister K Shanmugam and NCMP Leong Mun Wai of the Progress Singapore Party had a heated exchange in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 22) about whether Lee Hsien Yang and his wife Lee Suet Fern had "absconded" from Singapore while they were being investigated for lying in court over the will of Singapore's founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.
Mr Shanmugam also raised questions about Mr Leong's conduct in Parliament and how he repeatedly breached parliamentary procedures in the course of the debate. Read more: cna.asia/3Z5zSVR

The PM did explain in great detail why it was brought up in Parliament. It's useful because there was full coverage and people can understand or weigh the action taken. Personal issues of MPs are handled by the relevant authorities, and they do have an impact on the MP who are elected by the people. We have seen a few MPs resigning because of personal issues. Not sure whether the NCMP concerned will be ejected or forced to step down. He was afterall automatically installed by the NCMP law, though he did not win the election.

There is no point to corner LHY or create political motives when 1st, no threat even if he is running for president, 2nd it is something LHL if have a choice would avoid dealing publicly, 3rd if LHY ordeal is not dealt with, there is no integrity in this govt.

Leong Mun Wai agreed that issue on 38 Oxley road is a matter of public interests
When pressed on the KOM case, he makes it a point of whether the names should have been released AFTER the case has been tried in court. When LMW clarifies that the principle is on whether the names should have been released BEFORE trial, he quickly says "so now we put aside KOM", and moves on from it. The 'debate' then ends quickly after that.

However, this is not about KOM. Shanmugam was saying that liyani case is similar to LHY case where it’s disclose PRIOR to trial. LHY is the main subject here. If there are question about KOM, a separate question should be filed. Based on KOM paying a fine and case is closed with one person pleading guilty . It seems aligned. Otherwise it open up a flood gate whether every case should be disclose.
There's a Indian saying, "Whatever the parents do to others, good or bad, will come upon their children's heads". LKY family is a very good example.

LMW's "muddy the waters" means in relation to the comparison between the KOM case and the LHY case. He did not accuse Shanmugam of trying to confuse parliament. LMW was just questioning why LHY was named but not those in the KOM case, and so bringing in another case, Karl Liew's case, would muddy the waters, would confuse the comparison between just the 2 cases. Basically, he did not say Karl Liew's case is irrelevant (for a discussion in a broader context), but it may be irrelevant to the comparison when you just want to compare the 2 cases specifically. So whether it is relevant, it depends on whether you are trying to discuss at a broader context or whether you just want to focus on comparing the 2 cases.

Parliament is to discuss issues not to split hair over semantics! I do not doubt Leong Mun Wai's intention to contribute meaningfully to Singapore. Unfortunately, lawyers are trained to latch on every little nuance of language to overwhelm their opponents. Many MPs not trained in law are certainly put at a disadvantage when pitted against the skills of professional arguers. We should fashion our Parliament in a way that trained lawyers do not suppress meaningful discussions with their polemics. It helps if the Speaker can be a little more sympathetic towards non-lawyers to level the field. I do not like to see Shanmugam resorting to cross-examination in Parliament as if it's his usual day in court.

If you need to sit there the whole day listening to this bullshit, I am sure you will do the same. LMW concern is to polish master LHY. he is acting like eunuchs to emperor LHY

It will be best for Mr. Leong contest against Shanmugam at Nee Soon GRC at next GE, then it will be a fair fight. in parliament , he will just be arrogant and bully the oppo.

his concerns are not valid. as he himself has admitted towards the end that the names of the KOM case should not be released

On the contrary, I think the speaker was really being too kind already, Mr Leong seriously kept disrupting the flow and repeating what had just been discussed. And the craziest thing is what he said near the end, I can't believe that sort of word can come out in a parliamentary debate.
Try to treaten the opposition?
Mr. Leong. You are talking through your hat.
When we see this we know where to cast our vote! Why they can use pofma & play of word not to solve a problem + opposition cannot bring up issue or speak up but apologise if it doesn't sound good or what the woke govt wants to hear. Its beyond fair. They keep on changing goal post & gaslighting. Law for thee not for us woke govt.
Must've missed the part where indranee told Mr Speaker to conduct himself in a parliamentary manner when he swore under his breath at what A/P Jamus Lim said in parliament
Minister for Home Affair❤
To be fair the KOMs names have been published overseas.
Go champs go for it, this is your biggest challenge by now, political struggles are very tough these .. shhh...it times, we all need support and backups, only united we can make any difference and . .climate change is our biggest enemy to fight against, everybody is crucial getting involved, neutralize pollution and ...when you feel like Ok..you can always help the others, solidarity is so delightful, wish you do, l am the biggest supporter of yours Ok?
Double standard is practice here so our court of law is also run by fools.
Keep up your good job, LMW. To ask is not err. Not to ask is cowardice. Fear to ask is defeat.

Dobermann always threatening.
To avoid wasting 1 hour of your time. In Summary, LMW made claims with no evidence. Minister Sham pointed it out. LMW avoids the question and gives another opinion of his own without any relation to the question. Repeating this process for the next 1 hour. Realising that LMW can't answer simple yes or no question, Speaker of the house got tilted and have to get LMW to answer the damn question. Feel bad for Minister Sham as he had to repeat his own answer multiple times for LMW to understand and come up with 1 simple answer after the 55min mark. - LMW Insulted Speaker of the House - LMW disrespected the Leader of the House - Wasted everyone's time including the viewers at home..
Sham really headache answering him 😂😂😂 Good luck my friend. Hard earned money.
From an observer point of view. I think S is arrogant and don't interrupt LMW reply, let him finish his speech. Speaker should be impartial.
As the son and daughter in law of world honorable Mr Lee KY and his wife, and that you carrying very highly academic achievement and great job stature, you must not fear of law by evading yourself to other country for haven, but stand up firmly to respect the law and order that have been progressing you, your progenies as well as Singapore for what it is today and future. The most if you are convicted, you will be fine not beyond your ability to pay, or a short term jail or telling the world academic achievement and wealth are not true way of happy life, that’s all. After which, you still are free to enjoy with your family members , brothers and sisters, friends and cousins etc in singapore and other countries. Evading law in Singapore as like your stature, easily manipulated by other highly intelligent but negative parties that will ruin your life even more deeply. Hope you can stand firm to your dignity and grace to face the law. Thank you
I think our opposition has to do better and focus to debate relevant real topics that impact citizen lives..eg jobs, trade etc.
