Workers' Party "straddling both sides of the fence" on hijab issue: Indranee
Nov 13, 2013
By Robin Chan
Senior Minister of State for Law and Education Indranee Rajah has criticised the Workers' Party (WP) for not taking a clear position on the hijab issue.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday, she said they may sound sympathetic but actually "straddle both sides of the fence and merely calls for public dialogue".
"This does little to help resolve a delicate and difficult national issue and runs the danger of encouraging groups, including those from other communities, to take rhetorical positions and make public demands which they may then find difficult to move from," she said.
She was critical of what the WP and National Solidarity Party, who both issued statements last week, said amid growing calls to let uniform officers and nurses don the tudung or hijab.

Fat PAP bitch,
So what is your own stand on the hijab issue? The article didn't indicate it at all.

She is merely behaving the same while criticisng others for the same. Typical PAP bitch thinking she will survive GE2016 at at Tg Pagar GRC. Let her has her last laugh and than when she lost the election, she will follow another bitch (Lim Hwee Hwa) to write pitiful book.:oIo:

Did she get an F9 in her General Paper? Even a neighbourhood school kid can argue better than she.

Why does the WP need to state a position at all? The WP is not the government.
Unless the PAP wants to let the WP run the country now, it shouldn't expect the other parties to do its work. Is the PAP government so bankrupt of ideas that it is begging for the opposition to help them out?

Unless there are sufficient Opposition MPs, say about 40 percent of the house, a shadow cabinet is pointless.
The PAP doesn't have a clue how to deal with this issue and is trying to fish for ideas from the Opposition.
The Opposition is there to oppose, not to help the government. If the PAP wants help, then it should invite the Opposition to form a coalition government.
She is the workhorse of TP GRC and old man can just idle.
Very popular especially among the elders. Opposition would have a hard time beating her.
Indranee failed to see being neutral in itself is also a position. If WP steers towards one side of the fence, PAP will in turn accuse WP of trying to score cheap political points and fail to see 2 sides of the coin. Either way it an issue that put PAP on the defence. Hence the need to counter attack opposition.
