Why do we need NMPs to talk about a by election?

PAP picks the NMPs. So PAP will not make them look bad, otherwise, it will make PAP looks bad for choosing wrong people or intolerance to different views.

In contrast, PAP will do everything to make opposition MPs chosen by people look bad to score political brownie.

Easy to understand why NMPs are doing the show with PAP while opposition MPs know the trap PAP is scamming.

PAP picks the NMPs.

Not quite true. To be more precise, not true. The best performing losing opposition candidate gets to be the NMPs. Not that the PAP picks the NMPs.

I think you got it wrong. NMP are nominated by the PAP. NCMP are the best loser in elections. The current NCMP is Sylvia Lim. It makes no difference if issues are brought up by NMP or PAP where one actually represents the other.

True. Why are the elected Opposition MPs not making a bigger fuss about the by-election?

Because the elected opposition MPs are not doing their job. :(
