SINGAPORE — The conclusion to the recent tempestuous and tiresome parliamentary debate between the government and the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) over the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) summed up the dilemma faced by the Workers' Party (WP).
Even though some of the WP Members of Parliament (MPs) had initially wanted to join the debate, the biggest opposition party stayed out of it – wisely, in this reporter's opinion – right till the end, when Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh pointed out that circulating falsehoods can be easily rectified by the early release of pertinent information by the government.
