Singapore govt slow to clear the air, less than upfront with potentially embarrassing issues: Pritam

Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh said in parliament on Wednesday (Aug 2) that the Singapore government was either slow to clear the air, or less than upfront with Singaporeans when it had to deal with "potentially embarrassing issues".
Citing the arrest of Transport Minister S Iswaran, the investigation into ministers K Shanmugam and Vivian Balakrishnan's rental of their Ridout Road bungalows, and a police investigation that made use of data from COVID-19 contact-tracing tool TraceTogether, Mr Singh said the events "reveal a pattern of behaviour over a period of time, of the PAP engaging in half-truths on matters of significant public interest". He suggested that the government appoint an ethics adviser. Read more: cna.asia/3qifoOr

And I'm completely neutral in this arena, I do not hold any endearment for either political party. I am just trying to understand what you would propose as alternative to the current system where the prime minister has discretion to high profile enquiries. I've tried thinking, there really isn't a better alternative. If we as a nation vote him in, then its only fair that he holds certain powers to decide for the nation. I think the PAP has not been entirely transparent on other fronts, but on this front, I'd say they've been transparent enough. It's completely acceptable, LHL's statement addressing why he couldn't have been transparent earlier. Firstly it was an ongoing investigation. Secondly and more importantly why would he give iswaran notice that he's being investigated, in case he takes steps to prevent conclusive investigation

On a side note I feel that PM Lee seems to hold a traditional/conservative mindset towards democratic values which have progressed much in the past decade, not only in Sg but globally as well. Sg has not caught up under his leadership. Hopefully a younger PM will have a more modern mindset in line with modern democratic values of accountability, transparency, inclusiveness, etc.

What about the mismanagement of the Aljunied Account? To me a good opposition is one which helps the ruling party by giving positive suggestions and not press on things that had already being rectified. It's a waste of precious time which can be better used to meet the challenges the country is facing. WP is not representing the people, they're more concern about their party and power grappling.
