Sajeev is trying to make the Worker's Party look like hypocrites by demanding Transparency and Accountability from the government while not being "transparent and accountible" themselves. This however is not a fair comparison. Whereas there is a need for "transparency and accountability" in the running of the country, does a political party need to be "transparent and accountable" on how it runs itself? Similarly, do companies have to be "transparent and accountable" in their hiring process and decision on promotions?
The truth is, hiring and promotions are very subjective things. The decision makers will often make such decisions based on experience and instincts rather than on objective measurable numbers. When asked to give a reason for their decisions, no one would simply say that they made the decision on their own instinct and instead give vague reasons, after which the questioner would simply accept it and stay, or not accept it and leave. It looked like Sajeev did not accept the explanations given by Ms Sylvia Lim and continued to hound her for an explanation until he managed to fish a politically incorrect response from her that he could use.
If people don't like the political party or the company they are in, they have an option to leave and find another one. Can someone unhappy with the way his country is run just leave his country and join another? To some extend it is possible, but it's not really the same, is it?
I find it laughable that Sajeev is claiming the credit for Mr Somasundaram and Mr Watson Chong's promotions. Correlation does not imply Causation.
Personally, I do think that the minorities are underrepresented in the Worker's Party, and this is something that the Worker's Party need to look into. This is definitely not the result of racism, and I don't think anyone rationally really believes that Worker's Party is a racist party - even Sajeev implied from his article that he does not believe that, but enjoyed having the media pick up on that. In any case, whatever happened hasn't really damaged the party as is apparent from the results of the two BEs.
Overall, I'm just looking forward to see what kind of candidates Worker's Party put forward in 2016, which will likely give us some indication of whether things have improved from within that party. Hopefully we can see an increased representation of minorities without overly relying on affirmative action.
