Frankly the position of treasurer and CEC is pretty much hollow in the scheme of things and is remotely attached to one's morality. He probably has less responsibility as admin work is not something people clamour for. More a reward.
I suspect that the party is divided with a one faction wanting blood and this is the only compromise.
I always felt that this guy is a liability - an idiot.
treasurer is bout the number 3 position for WP... Eric Tan was leader of the 2nd most important GRC, he was treasurer ....
to outsiders like yourself, treasurer is nothing... but if you have speak to some older members, they always say Yaw is going to be next Sec Gen...
He was Low LA, Hougang MP, and Party treasurer...
Apparently, some people in WP's leadership are dead against YSL and want to bring him down, even at the expense of further dragging the party image down.
You're right, nobody, not even the MSM, has even considered YSL's CEC responsibilities in light of his fiasco. The only concerns was his function as Member of Parliament. Why is there a need for such an ill-timed and dramatic exit? If I were YSL I sure as hell wouldn't want to resign now and invite more speculation and accusation.
Your factious theory is probably correct. They are different groups who want different things. And sad to say, my only conclusion is that there is a bunch of fellas in there who want to see this affair turn out as ugly as possible.
Sad. This is fucking pathetic.
The only thing more sad than WP management of crisis is WP supporters mindless defense... they have sold their principles, that is what so pathetic, they really got what they wish for. A monkey in parliament... with last world voters like this, who need PAP to screw us..?
Are you sure nobody has even considered YSL's CEC responsibilities ???
I said before the 1st thing to do is to demote him from CEC and then called for BY-election!!
THBH, continue to pretend nothing has happen is what will further dragging the party image down.
I have also say before it is impossible for learned men like SHow Mao and JJ to think that keeping mum is the best solution...
it is not surprising that there will be disagreements in the CEC, if there is no disagreements, then I worry.
cause that will mean that WP is a one man show and the rest of the CEC are mindless drones who have no principles and using WP just as a vehicles to enter Parliament......
btw you guys need to start looking at Low's current LA..... I think he will be candidate next GE
