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.

[@martinbrock713]

Workers’ Party (WP) too have suggested the nationalisation of public transport, and had also made proposals for ministers’ salaries back in 2011/2012.

[@sreersn]

You know you have made a mistake which I hope will not Bomberrang on you

[@martinbrock713]

Having won an overwhelming majority of seats, they get upset over losing a few slices of the cake. They turn around and call opposition voters “free riders.”

[@Iknow-mw8rf]

What's important majority people said after they took the jabs previously but nowadays they only became more and more easily to fall sick, it's the pap party mistakes and there's no way to u-turn back.

[@martinbrock713]

SDP has released policy papers on several issues such as Healthcare and Housing.

[@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.

[@deschan2246]

For a moment, i thought its Covid Task Force !!!!😂 Both LW n GKY failed then

[@yeojieyuan]

they failed? Then what is success to you?

[@deschan2246]

​@yeojieyuan from 1 case to hundred thousands cases under their charge for 3 years is not failure to u? 😂

[@deschan2246]

​@yeojieyuan from 1 case to tens to hundreds to thousands to ten thousands to 100 thousands over 3 years under their watchful eyes. Do u know how many wrong decisions were made during these 3 years? 😂 if u hv track covid development world wide n locally. U will know they failed miserably. What credit r u talking about?

[@martinbrock713]

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

[@shadowj3311]

So many naive comments specifically some are come from non-singaporeans.

[@dongkeekee]
