Low Thia Khiang said LLL gave up the NCMP seat was because she respected the voters.

Which voters give a shit about NCMP?

They want real MPs in Parleemen!

Not some backdoor men and half farked MPs!

Did PAP respect voters when they let loser PAP members entered the Parliament though the GRCs backdoor?

Kong jiao wei!

You didn't understand what he meant.

The incumbent being offered NCMP after she lost in the Election is different from the challenger being offered an NCMP seat.

I think Low has a point, and it's a pretty good one. That is to say, if Png Eng Huat the incumbent at Hougang loses in the next GE, but nevertheless remains the best loser even with 49.99% votes, he must reject the NCMP seat.

The voters rejecting an incumbent is different from voters rejecting the challenger. An incumbent has been given the chance to serve, and if he is rejected the majority it means he is not up to scratch. But a challenger has never been given the chance to serve.

There should be an amendment to the Parliamentary Elections Act that when an NCMP fails to take his/her oath of office, the person with the next highest percentage of votes WHO IS NOT FROM THE SAME POLITICAL PARTY AS THAT NCMP would be declared elected in his/her stead.

This will help to improve the quality of debates in the Parliament and ensure that the needs of alternative voters in other GRCs and SMCs (NOT contested by the WP) are given a chance to be represented in the Parliament by their own respective NCMPs (i.e. from their own alternative party, other than the WP).

Please don't. There are already enough elephants in the room, as in CPF, Temask and GiC.

We don't need one more. Parliament House isn't that big.

Re: Low Thia Khiang said LLL gave up the NCMP seat was because she respected the vote

I respect her decision. Makes sense. If voters accepted former NCMPs like Sylvia but rejected Lina, Gerald and Yee a second time, does that mean the latter should all retire from politics because the people rejected them a second time? Accepting Singapore's political realities is... a glib response. You see, if you take something yet still complain, you have to prepare to be discredited. A small price to be pay.

He will not accept NCMP seat even if offered to him. He has a higher calling - co-driver of WP.

PAP should just take away NCMP seats. Why should losers have a feel good prize?

to have some opposition in the house gave a democratic legitimacy of parliament. even China and North Korea understood that logic and they installed stooge invisible parties in their parliaments for decades.

Re: Low Thia Khiang said LLL gave up the NCMP seat was because she respected the vote

NCMP is a political honey trap to trick the opposition supporters into believing that
its safe to vote the incumbent since opposition get represented even if they lost.
Its a scam under a magnanimous mask.
NCMP is useless, toothless, and just like an extras on a set or calefare.

Re: Low Thia Khiang said LLL gave up the NCMP seat was because she respected the vote

The NCMP scheme was inspired by WP, not PAP. WP's public admission that they are not interested in forming the next government has come back to haunt them.

If you don't have the ambition to form the next government, and you are contented with being a co-driver, steering clear of hard questions in Parliament, always voting "with" the governing party. Why would WP need to vote in Parliament in the first place ? The NCMP scheme fits WP's ideology - play safe, non-confrontational, ask side issues and stay away from hard topics.
