Proof LTK & CST are approved 'opposition'!

[Lee Hsien Tau]

K Shanmugam:

..... The most successful person in opposition is Mr Low Thia Khiang, with his Workers’ Party. He has never been sued. He has been in Parliament since 1984. The other successful figure is Chiam See Tong .… Mr Chiam is known and seen as an honourable man, and there is an interesting story about him. When he first stood for election, two PAP ministers … made some remarks about his law firm and his abilities as a lawyer. They said he is a “one man band” and said “why would you want to elect him”. Mr Chiam threatened to sue. Because he said “this is not fair comment you are attacking my ability as a lawyer. What has that got to do with my policies, as a MP”. And the two ministers took legal advice and paid damages. They did not go to court because that is the way we operate. Sensible people take legal advice and if you think you do not have a case you pay up and they paid up. And Mr Chiam sued other people as well. And he has never ever faced a legal suit ....

You mean opposition figures who talk rubbish and get sued their pants off and are unable to takecare of their ward are real opposition?

I can see where this is going.

Earning a praise does not mean it's approved opposition.

I rather see these 2 fellows as toothless opposition.

They are just there to collect the $200-$300K MP pay.

If they start criticizing the gahment, they are kissing the $$$ away.

Ps. I bet some idiots will come and deny MP get paid $200K
