PM Lee’s claims are not entirely true because the opposition parties, especially the (SDP), have proposed alternative policies.

@martinbrock713 No, we are not preventing competition. What we are preventing is Duds getting into Parliament. Any person of quality, we welcome them but we don't want Duds. We don't want Chee Soon Juan or JB Jeyaretnam. They are not going to build the country. LKY

Not easy to be a pm

[@xianlonglee-ty6qe]

PAP MPs who are not loyal to LW or felt they were sidelined should mount an opposition to LW's appointment as PM. I call on these PAP MPs to come together and push for a motion of no confidence immediately after the swearing in of LW and his Cabinet.

[@jer2911.L]

@tonykwok9763 JUST RETURN CITIZENS' CPF. By this statement, it means that your intention is to make all Singaporeans HOMELESS as our CPF is used to pay for our homes. ARE YOU REALLY A SINGAPOREAN OR A FOREIGNER. Be a man and tell us who you are. Don't be a coward.

[@deschan2246]

Heng is the only person nobody question his appointment. Afterall, he was the first choice the cabinet has chosen then. LW n GKY are not even on the top 3 choices then. How both of them become PM and DPM is Singapore greatest mystery waiting for future historians to unravel. 😂

It was also argued that the PAP’s policies have failed or have been shortsighted, as indeed Mr Lee himself admitted during and after the 2011 general election.
