WP chief Pritam Singh testified on Friday before a committee investigating a lie made in Parliament by Ms Raeesah Khan. The 9-hour hearing saw many testy exchanges between the Leader of the Opposition and Minister Edwin Tong. Read more: str.sg/3fRz
THE COMMITTEE'S 'AGENDA'
Mr Singh said that "implicit" in Mr Tong's questioning was that there was "some cover-up" being attempted, in relation to the WP leadership's behaviour once it knew of Ms Khan's lie.
"Because that was your line of questioning to the witnesses," said Mr Singh, referring to earlier testimonies before the committee by WP members. "I beg your pardon - I don't mean to be argumentative," he added.
Mr Tong replied: "I will be very upfront with you and tell you that I have got no agenda, except to ask questions and work out what the facts are. And there's nothing implicit in my questions. It's direct."
"If I'm going to make a suggestion to you, I will do so and tell you," he added. "So please don't read into my questions."

His line of questioning throughout is absurd and it is clear as day he just wants to pin all the blame on WP and not RK. Nothing about finding out the facts/truth.

Man, this hearing just shows how bad ET is. So many leading questions. I thought this was a place to get facts, not to shove your view on the one answering questions. There's a reason why leading questions are only allowed on very few instances. ET, and the PAP as a whole, does have an agenda. It's so obvious: to discredit the opposition.

If they're at wrong, they must be put to account for. Not evade their responsibility just because of a bunch of people saying PAP has an agenda. Pritam Singh is sly and not willing to admit he did wrong. Disgraceful.

I am a PAP supporter but I am very sad that they chose to try to bring down the Worker Party through Raeesah' s lie. Every educatedindividual would know that Edwin Tong's line of questioning is overbearing and attempting to force Pritam to admit to wrongdoings through silly assumptions. It went on for so long and it is very painful to watch. PAP should stop doing such things as I am sure it is putting off a lot of educated voters. You just need to establish the facts and come out with a report on how the Worker Party Central Committee could have handle it better. That's all. Now this circus show is circulating on social media and it reflects very badly on PAP trying to pin blame on Pritam while there is no significant evidence. My sympathy lies with Pritam Singh. Having posted this , would I still vote for PAP next election? The answer is YES! and I tell you the reasons why. Apple has many questionable practices. They admitted that installing iOS updates could slow down older iPhones. " Apple has been fined 25 million euros (£21m, $27m) for deliberately slowing down older iPhone models without making it clear to consumers." Apple "committed the crime of deceptive commercial practice by omission" and had agreed to pay the fine. Apple is still continuing this practice. I am sure you are aware of the many other questionable practices that Apple adopts. But would you boycott Apple because of this? No , millions still flock to purchase iphones for the simple reason " Iphones work well, are user friendly and customers get value for money" So I would look beyond Edwin Tong. PAP has brought about Singapore's prosperity all these years. Yes they have many questionable practices but what is of utmost importance for us? The continued prosperity of Singapore. Worker Party is an unknown product though I appreciate their presence because "Opposition’s role to ensure PAP doesn’t have ‘blank cheque to do whatever it wants’: WP chief Pritam Singh.

Workers' Party ideology is Democratic Socialism; a milder form of Socialism as compared to China's Socialism. Can you imagine if Workers' Party defeated the PAP and David Marshall didn't resign, thus not allowing the PAP to ever come into power? The Workers' Party will be a powerful ruling party in Singapore today, just like China's CPC. Except that it will be much more benovelent. Too bad this isn't like the Cold War era where Pritam Singh can seek help from his Soviet and Chinese Comrades in order to overthrow the PAP using Military force. Sweden is a Democratic Socialist country, and its quality of life is much better than Singapore's.
