Wah don't play play man---If the minister didn't ask me i suggest you don't ask me--- Wah Mr Leong you very Garang wan man 😲😲😲
She don't give a dam respect sham nor the speaker. Throw her temper out. Really sia suay.
"If minister don't ask me i suggest u don't ask me" think its beyond politics, there is confrontational style and being authentic, but there is also something called having a politician's filter, and this guy very obviously doesn't have it or prone to losing it. Behaviours like this would only dminish his credibility as an opposition and also his party.
The speaker should conduct himself in a fair and respectful way to ALL members of Parliament, and not only to those belonging to his party.

I see nothing wrong with the speaker asking him to clarify. He himself said that he said the 6 were guilty in parliament but did not say that in his facebook post. This begs the question "so you think guilty or not?", which the speaker asked. He then indirectly told the speaker to shut up, wah great man! So power! Not!

Leong said one thing in public and another in parliament. The Speaker sought clarification. Leong could not defend himself, felt embarrassed and got mad with the Speaker. Leong is just not up to the mark. How much nicer and more patient do we expect the Speaker to be towards Leong? It saddens me to see one whole lot of irrational comments here opposing the wrong things, supporting the wrong actions and behaviours.

The Speaker is directly helping Shan wriggle his way of this fiasco.....
Me Leong a big man to apologize. Law minister is the king of muddy waters that's why he asked leong to clarify. 😅
Cn tjc be biased?
I think as members of parliament spore, they just cannot make a decorum issue and then apologise for it. They should uphold very high standard of decorum as it is a mockery of personality conducted by high officials or representative of Singapore and essentially to desire for future and current generation singaporean a proper standard to learn from.
Don’t get work up cuz I understand where she is coming from. Do not allow her quick action judge her behaviour. The person you should consider is Leong. I find him rude and disrespectful.
Why we have such a person like Leong Mun Wai , is so poor in standards to be MP ? Why state something in FB but refuse to acknowledge he is alluding to something ? 😅gosh .......I love democracy debates and all that but in parliament some civility decorum must be there.
Interesting how politics have evolved in Singapore, from my own observation, it seems that the opposition is probing the PAP tolerance limits while trying to inch some ground with the masses. Times have changed and it is either adapt or meet failure.
Nothing is really fair in this world. Don't believe that of our laws n enforcers even.
