Maybe he got feedback that he shouldn’t be so biased

He is the LJ that my friend and I spoke to about "Foreign Trash" when he was Minister of Manpower.

His reply was that MOM does not manage the Quality of FTs.

Without this  clown, you would not know Sg has rotten.

He knows people do not like him and he is in same GRC team as ET.

. I think the real issue is how we debate and not how many persons on the other side who can tackle Hazel and I. In that sense, I felt unfulfilled at times when the Parliamentary processes are not adequate to allow the alternative views to be enunciated properly to allow a lively and substantive debate.

Like the recently concluded Ministerial Statement, the aim seems to be to allow them to state their position rather than allowing a debate. They did not even answer our PQs or my debate questions”, he added.

Mr Leong added that the manner in which he was answered did not affect him, but “the fact that they did not answer the points directly (although they keep asking me to confirm this and confirm that) making the debate not engaging and substantive”.

I suspect this to be so also.....

You go back and sit down. No more questions from you.

He dont want to work overtime ma. So he prefers to shut him up to finish before time. What is the point of debate then???


No wonder every bill passed without debate. All yes sir, no problem sir

The speaker of the house should preferably be a person with no political party affiliation, cos if the speaker of the house is leaning towards the ruling party, no fairness is expected..

Which joker asked for Constructive Politics? Then now, trying to restrict depth in discussion.

PAP is really Rojak Prata.

You can say that again......

[Huliwang]

Like that PAP uses Rules For Parliamentary Conduct to silence the opposition liao. So next time if oppy brings up anything to speak, the Speaker can just tell him to shut the F...k up and sit down if the matter is not in favor of the ruling party........

Moving forward, that could be the case........

There is a law in in US where a congressman will be allowed to speak, as long as he can continue non stop.

Yes, if that guy can talk continuously for 24hrs, no one can ask him to sit down.

We are still far behind in that aspect.

This leads to a filibuster, very common tactic in congress.

Yup. It is a weapon for the minority to prevent the majority from bulldoze their way, which is happening in Singapore for a long time.

When a person is a filibuster in Parliament, then it is unfair to all MPs who wants to  speak, but cannot do so when another MP is a  filibuster.....

Then the session is extended until all mps who want to speak are done with their talking, why not?

Then the Parliament session will have to go overtime, and all MPs have to sleep in the Parliament house till midnight.......

Trust me. Once it's happen, everyone will make sure it won't happen again. If not, how is the minority going to make the majority hear them out.

Why not? The MPs have to start doing something to earn that kind of allowance. I hope this will happen more frequently.
