First world country but we spent 5hours on bungalows issues and this Xiasuey video, Why they are not using the time to argue more meaningful stuffs? Such as rising cost in healthcare? Especially cancer treatment. Or even rising cost in foods? Or even housing ? How can our Singaporean overcome these issues? I guess our members in the parliament are not facing these issues, that’s why they don’t really discuss those issues, they are more concerned about their ego and pride

[@UltraVioletMilk]

The cleanliness of a gov is the foundation of all policies that are formulated, including all the policies for the issues you mentioned. Housing? What if the total final cost for a BTO 3 room is actually only $90,000 (including all misc costs) but we foot $300,000 for one?!

It is consistent with her approach to behave superiorly to Leong. She believes opposition party MPs are privileged to be given the opportunity to speak in parliament. How about herself? Does she see herself as having been given the privilege to speak in parliament or the right to do so? Please count the number of times the Speaker has silenced or shortened the speech of an opposition member and the number of times they have done so to a PAP member.

Really XIA SUAY

[@JoeLee18]

The Ministerial Code of Conduct in Singapore mandates that ministers must avoid not only actual conflicts of interest but also potential or perceived ones. Mr Singh’s analysis of the review process illuminated that it did not adequately consider this provision, thus bringing the robustness and results of the process into question. “The review process appears to have treated the issue of apparent conflict and public perception as secondary to an actual conflict,” he critically noted. He stated, “If the current strictures in the Code are being loosened, the government should explain why strict standards which have been in place for decades are being adjusted.”

[@martinarchie2902]

As such, isn’t Indranee also guilty of “making speculative assertions that are based on an inadequate understanding of the facts too”, no? What Indranee was doing in parliament is looking like the People’s Action Party (PAP)’s latest Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in dealing with the growing scandals and public displeasure against the government - just keep complicating the “facts” until everyone gets confused, tired or lost, and hopefully will be forgotten when another more pressing issue come along.
