Possibly ..But cannot be Ruled Out That WP & PAP Collaborating to Engineer a new Naratif… ie. Sg needs more Oppo in Parliament bcz Both Cannot cannot be Relied Upon 😊😊😊

[@raysonhoyaoyong]

It's time to wake up sinkies. Your government has always used other less important news to divert your attention from more important things at hand. Just another old trick from the book.

[@Hs5687]

@Broskisnowski Damage Control Yes , couldn’t Agree More … NOT recently though , But for some time now … ie. Since LKY’s Passing. Reason I say this is because, even if we missed the unmistakable Pattern of Trusted LKY Generals either Politely Distanced or Declined High Office Appts OR that No One Dare to Intervene to Rescue LKY’s Reckless Kids in Lee Family Saga, then just look closely Timing & Significance of at NEW Laws & Changes in Public Policies… all designed for Surveillance State & Make it Difficult for Ppl to DIG up PAP’s Skeletons 😂😂😂

[@s_shaleh]

Absolutely. Just imagine how many more decades-old secrets we're going to uncover if we continue to dig deeper. But the greater question is, will we even be allowed to? With the firm grip they have over our lives and the strong support they are getting from their supporters, of which "new citizens" make up a huge portion of, would it even be possible for us to uncover their flaws?

[@jeltt2150]

@jazzymilesmiles3308 I contribute 5-6% of my annual paycheck already for charity. How is that relevant anyway? Maybe you want to propose that the speaker in the alleged case donate their 550k annual salary to charity instead since their affairs was known since 2020 which amounts to 1.5m?

[@MrBoliao98]

Because people who live in landed can afford to vote WP

[@jeromesimon8916]

​@@MrBoliao98so what your saying is the areas that WP won last election all of the voters lived in landed property? Any data to back up your claim?

[@Riyoe]

​@@MrBoliao98Disagree, it's not like voting for WP requires you to be richer, it's true that wp areas got less benefits in the past, but now it's less true, and people vote for WP specifically to break this PAP control Also no I'm not pro WP it's just my take

[@ssvegeto1610]

Why is PAP the adversary? Would u say the same for the residents of tampiness and marine parade who said the same thing?

[@s_shaleh]

​@@MrBoliao98 Ironic because I would think that PAP policies actually serve the rich more than the poor or the average working class citizen. That's the reason they call others "f***ing populists" when they try to raise the issues afflicting the poorer communities in Parliament.

[@MH-yy1uw]

in a quiet neighborhood, a popular bakery faced a scandal when its sous chef & a staff member were caught in an affair. local residents shared their thoughts on the resignations, just as the straits times sought opinions on the resignations of prominent individuals from the community..

[@tankman20064]

Tampines bakery huh😂😂😂😂😂

[@DoNotLetThemStealYourJoy]

I concur with the last person interviewed. We should look at other events that are happening.

[@mlys7184]

[@Prometheus_Alt]

Isn't the CPIB investigation under wraps, so they don't have much to reveal? Like what are you gonna say when there's so little details released by the government?

[@bingquan89]

there's so many videos on ST channel about nicole seah and this leon but few about tan chuan jin and cheng li hui. the biasness is too loud already. very mature response from the ground. please cover the response on marine parade and tampines. and also the corruption case.

[@DannyFellany]

Kinda fishy PAP and WP both have internal issues almost at the same time span. Coincidence? 🤔

[@OEL35]

Both admitted to it means both wrong. Who cares about coincidence! Doesn’t make one party less wrong

[@garfieldandfriends1]

Obviously cherry-picking behaviour by state controlled media. CNA/Today bothered to make a past contribution video for TCJ & Cheng LH (even if the latter didn’t have much) but they didn’t bother to make one for Leon.

[@eddieleong6490]

Compassion...a precious human attribute. We all need to be compassionate. We do not know that state of their marital affairs and whether both parties were already on the road to a divorce. We are in a different era. We have not heard from them their side of the story. Politics cannot be the High Priest of Morality. Politics is about self-sacrifice, has plenty of stress and being in the Opposition is even less rewarding financially. My best hope is that after a period of reflection and resolving their personal issues, both can re-enter politics. This is not international sports, legal or medical professions where lifetime bans are imposed. If they can contribute to Singapore, they should be given a second chance. Fewer people will want to step into the political era given the adverse publicity from recent scandals.

[@GreyJedi17]

Totally agree

[@JJ-wp6ld]

[@ssvegeto1610]

Right! Most of us have never have an extra marital affair, so it is fair to say we don't get to enjoy the excitement and shouldn't be getting jealous over all these 'naughty and lusty' MP's personal affair. 🤣😁

[@ahn0x]

Pls lah, if this country had any compassion we wouldn't have such huge & glaring systemic failures in mental healthcare, healthcare, and education, where even the healthcare professionals are underpaid, overworked, and perpetually burntout. We are the most sleep-deprived country in the world, everyone is always so rushed, locked into the grind. "Compassion" is lacking on basically every level, from individual, to familial, to communal... and most don't understand it, or the systemic forces involved.

The 2 lots of resignations are of 2 different natures. One is because of perceived conflict of interest with one being the Speaker as your PM has made it clear.
