Let this be a lesson to All SG voters, especially those who feel SG needs opposition representation in govt to provide, as it has been said, "checks and balances". During the last election campaigning period it was already made known that this particular WP candidate had been warned by the Police about some social media posts she had made. This begs the question why the WP continued to field her as a GRC candidate. However, since she remained a candidate SG voters should have seen the glaring red flag and asked themselves, how she would perform as an MP. Would she continue to act in a manner that can tear our society apart, or would she really work for the good of her constituents? If we vote unwisely, we have to wait 5 years till the next election to correct the mistake. In the meantime a lot of damage could have been done to our country, to our society, to everything that makes SG a giant on the world stage.

Nobody had thought about it simply because nobody cares what happens to criminals, as they should. Raeesah's statement broke the implicit confidentiality with her supposed victim, and she then lied about the story to advance her agenda, and continued to slander the brave men and women at the SPF with her lies. The difference is clear, one made a genuine mistake, and his acts harmed nobody, even helping the SPF track criminals. The other slandered the police that defend this country to advance her agenda.

It is not a market place to spread gossip or rumours

[@sylvia5170]

No woman would want to be a limelight on being a victim of rape. To be publicly declare oneself as a victim of rape, the police has to investigate the victim. The victim has to describe in detail what had happened to her multiple times with details. It can be traumatising to the victim.

[@Bhnbhn]

I’m really disturbed that she self-inserted herself into the narration. That itself posed more risk of her having to reveal she was part of the support group and a victim, because no one just accompanies a rape victim to the police out of the blue. Recounting the incident as 3rd party would’ve been less risky, because then you can just say you heard it from anywhere. Though still unsubstantiated, it could’ve at least saved her one lie.

In fact, all these comments play into her version of martyrdom. In any case, perhaps dad can simply throw $$$ at WP...This seems to be quite black and white but WP choose to remain quiet instead of acting decisively. They are really counting on the fact that their supporters are just anti-PAP and will still support them regardless. I feel this is a disparaging attitude to the supporters who voted them in despite her earlier racist remarks.

Probably a novel situation for her, being called to take responsibility and be held accountable. Even in her apology and her answers, she's repeatedly trying to deflect with justifications. Clearly, being in a privileged position, she has never been taken to task about accountability. And when she was last year, she was let off with a light rap on the wrist. Lesson not learnt.

@@jeangian1781 Vivian and CCS joked about LWM's education. Raessa lied about police MISHANDLING a rape case. The difference is night and day! One is a personal insult that literally no one cares. The other is a serious allegation about incompetency in our law enforcement. You are surely not that stupid to compare those 2 instances lol You don't come to parliament, stir shit up about police mistreating rape victims, spew a bunch of lies and then expect to get away with it! In a court setting, this would be a chargeable offence in any country on the planet.

@@jeangian1781 excellent example of “what aboutism”. Literally, only individuals with no credible reasoning uses this method of plucking another issue from their backside to sidetrack the entire point of the argument. Vivian and CCS aside, how about you answer your own question. Raeesah Khan, exaggerating and making a false and completely unnecessary claim, then upon clarification of that claim, to ensure the relevant police she so mentioned is investigated, continued to affirm that what she said is truth over and over again 3 times in PARLIAMENT. What part about this is not a grave mistake to you?

Pritam, Prease exprain why such lousy quality of your member in your party?

[@Felix_SG]

you should ask why such a lousy quality of MP in parliament. don't blame the party if the people prefer to support their delusions.

[@TheAvengingknight]

I always wondered why Pritam Singh kept quiet even after the second time she was questioned. Its funny how he never made any statement regarding this or made any clarification with RK. Maybe she lied to him also and said it was true untill recently and was told by him to come clean?

The respectable thing for Ms Khan to do would be to resign so as not to smear the WP's reputation as a credible party.

[@unsulliedthe832]

In the guise of empathy for Khan's defeated position, Indranee Rajah goes on to thoroughly yet ever so softly destroy Khan's credibility as an opposition politician. Khan is as good as a lame duck from here on. She will do no service to her party if she doesn't resign as an MP.

Perjury is as bad as adultery .

[@gha9543]

Bill Clinton denied adultery ? Nixon lied about Watergate ? CIA lied about WMD ?

[@davidl5546]

Of course, you are joking. Indranee has absolute sympathy and empathy for what Khan claims happened to her. I can see this oozing from Indranee's every pore. I can hear it in the vocal tone she spoke. If you can still dispute this, it just shows you for the cynical person you are. However, Indranee still has to do her duty as Leader of the House. Referring Khan to the Committee of Privileges is the right thing to do. No matter how she sympathetises with Khan. Even if you don't agree.

[@michaelng1309]

WP chief seems a poor judge of character. Should not have given her an easy pass to parliament ( through the GRC ) in the last GE as she already had some issues then. Bad decision!

So embarrassing. Give up.
