The Case of the Missing PAP MPs
The Copyright (Amendment) Bill was tabled in Parliament yesterday but could not be passed because of a lack of quorum.
A quorum is defined as one quarter of the total of 87 elected MPs i.e. 22 MPs.
Assuming the 7 Workers' Party MPs supported the Bill, you only needed 15 out of 80 PAP MPs to be present.
Yet, yesterday, in a most appalling development, the House had trouble finding enough PAP MPs to meet the quorum.
What were the absentee PAP MPs doing? Busy taking selfies, promoting themselves on Facebook or thinking of ways to fix the Workers' Party?
Most importantly, what was Lee Hsien Loong doing as a leader of his Party if he cannot get even a quarter of his MPs to attend Parliament?
