Comments on: WP’s Yaw Shin Leong gives free bullets to PAP to shoot at the opposition again http://www.temasekreview.com/2009/03/01/wps-yaw-shin-leong-gives-free-bullets-to-pap-to-shoot-at-opposition-again/ The Voice of Singapore from Singaporeans for Singaporeans Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:57:16 +0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: reader http://www.temasekreview.com/2009/03/01/wps-yaw-shin-leong-gives-free-bullets-to-pap-to-shoot-at-opposition-again/comment-page-2/#comment-17590 reader Sun, 07 Jun 2009 15:38:05 +0000 http://wayangparty.com/?p=5724#comment-17590 I have commented previously that any opposition unwilling to work with the others (thus creating a 3-way fight) may very well be a proxy. Cooperation between opposition parties is not just for the electorate. It is rational for the opposition to spread themselves out, for it will greatly enhance their votes and thus their own success. Elections may not be near, but it is time for the opposition to start communicating and carving out territory. The battle will be already half lost if they refuse to do this.

But if you have been following wayangparty, you will realize the call to replace DPM Wong is not just over the Mas Selamat case. Simply put, an overwhelming majority in parliament has contributed to a lack of accountability and transparency. Far too many mistakes have been made by different people, and nobody was held accountable to prevent further mistakes. If we do not vote in enough opposition to provide some checks and balances, the behemoth of Singapore Inc. might not prosper for much longer. Hi Mr K (8:55pm),

I have not seen a croak from any of them on the various crucial isues that have surfaced recently and they apparently are not representing the people who have voted them in. After collectiong their MP's allowances, they are playing it safe? When Yaw should be standing up in parliament where they have a seat and make a difference, he is picking on the other opposition members based on a suggestion mooted by the TODAY's reporter? Why don't Yaw tell the PAP not to work with the grassroots at Bishan-Toa Payoh instead of aiming his pot shots at the other opposition members? no ba..ls? What makes him so cock sure that the WP is better than any other opposition who may potentially consider that constituency? WP is where it is today beacuse of JBJ not Slyvia Lim or Low Thia Kiang. The original vision of the WP appears to be now diluted and far removed. We don't need stooges in the parliament to represent us... it will be interesting to vote in, and see the effect to have SDP - Chee of even the people from the Reform Party which JBJ set up have a voice there.

The biggest enemy is PAP. internal bashing among the opposition is bad for the country. None of the elected opposition has ever lost as much money as Ms. Ho. So, we cannot be soft hearted with PAP.
