It has been 2 weeks already and the Straits Times is still following up keenly on the PKMS fracas which saw two factions of the beleaguered opposition party broke out openly in a street-fight.
PKMS, which was little known previously to Singaporeans, suddenly found itself at the center of public attention unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.
This week, the Straits Times journalists gave extensive interviews to the leaders of PKMS giving them the opportunity to “wash their dirty linen” in public while their voices were never heard in the past.
