“Questions that naturally arise are: Would investigations proceed if the PM did not give his consent? Have there been previous cases when concurrence was sought but not given? Can’t the Attorney-General launch an investigation if he sees wrongdoing regardless of the PM’s views?” the Secretary-General of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) raised. Dr Chee also said that the recent issue pertaining to Ministers K Shanmugam and Vivian Balakrishnan renting bungalows along Ridout Road also brought up questions that remain unanswered.

CPIB reports to the Prime Minister and not to any other minister or government authority.
If the Prime Minister refuses to give consent for CPIB to make inquiries or carry out investigations into a case, including against the Prime Minister himself, the agency's director can go to the President for permission to proceed with investigations, wrote Mr Lee Kuan Yew in his preface for the CPIB’s 60th-anniversary commemorative coffee table book.
“In other words, nobody is exempt,” he said.

I never like Chee because if his too aggressive approach n his oppo cause
But I must say this is the most powerful and accurate portrayal of the actual situation and event of the recent past
And what most Singaporeans’ impressions regarding it
If PAPigs still want to dismiss such events with a hand wave
Then they will sooner rather later taken to the cleaners
Tampines & West Coast GRCs are there for the taking

All these are cosmetic la
What if the President is not clean, or in the same boat?
Or was once working under the PM and BEHOLDEN to him
Like the present and akan datang ones?

This Tharma dude is always dancing with his words, hence very un-trustworthy
Just because the PM has never prevented, does not mean that he will forever not prevent
This is why I will NEVER VOTE for this Tharma dude
He is too good at charading
