Lawrence Wong say more opposition in the parliament will weaken the gov 

---

### **"A Weak Government Fears Opposition—A Strong One Thrives On It"**  

Lawrence Wong’s argument isn’t about governance—it’s about **control**. If the PAP were truly confident in its policies, it wouldn’t fear debate. Instead, it clings to its supermajority like a security blanket, proving it **needs dominance, not merit**, to rule.  

#### **1. If More Opposition Weakens Government, Then the PAP is Already Weak**  
- By Wong’s logic, the PAP is so fragile that even a few WP MPs in Parliament (10 out of 93) could destabilize it. **Is the PAP that incompetent?**  
- Strong governments (e.g., Germany, UK, NZ) survive with fierce oppositions. If Singapore’s system collapses without PAP hegemony, maybe the problem isn’t opposition—it’s **over-reliance on one party**.  

#### **2. The Real Weakness? A Rubber-Stamp Parliament**  
- Without opposition, bad policies slide through: **NKF scandals, AIM saga, GST hikes during inflation**.  
- Even the PAP admits mistakes—**after the fact**. Opposition forces accountability **before** disasters happen.  

#### **3. Fear of Opposition = Fear of Losing Power**  
- The PAP doesn’t fear "weak governance"—it fears **losing unchecked power**.  
- Why else change electoral rules (GRCs, NMPs), sue critics, and warn that opposition leads to "gridlock" (when WP has **zero** veto power)?  

#### **4. Singapore Isn’t Special—Democracy Works Elsewhere**  
- **"We’re unique"** is a tired excuse. Countries with strong oppositions (Sweden, Australia) outperform Singapore in transparency, happiness, and innovation.  
- Even **China** allows more debate in its rubber-stamp parliament than the PAP does in ours.  

#### **5. The Irony: PAP Weakens Itself by Resisting Opposition**  
- The more the PAP **blocks alternative voices**, the more voters distrust it.  
- **Result? Rising dissent (online, protests, younger voters flipping opposition).** The PAP’s refusal to adapt is its
 **real weakness**.

So we need more yes men? Or we need or iswaran, Vivian, jo and file thrower?

Today, Singapore is in a mess and politics is not as clean as country's image 

Obviously more PAP will make situation worse.

[talky]

at least better than to say spend all the time to fix opp party members no time to run the countery

[red3]

That's why doubled down to increase the parliament size

This is very true. Been a major ruling party will makes them more arrogant and doing things like nobody business. No respect for citizens with such a behaviour. They must learn how to respect Oppositions in parliament, becos it is citizens that voted them. Having said this, no respect for Oppositions is equivalent to no respect to citizens. Just look at that flinging file woman. No wonder it ran to hide at another GRC.

"Lee Kuan Yew predicted that the opposition would win one day"

"An old quote by Singapore Founding Father Lee Kuan Yew regarding opposition parties in Singapore has resurfaced on the internet. 

The quote warns that one day, Singaporeans just may get tired of the ruling party, People’s Action Pa"

[lvlrsSTI]

Means more oppositions will weaken the party.

[[[ForeverAlone]]]

Means more oppositions will weaken the party.

Actually more opposition will make PAP wake up. You see them always chill in Parliament after get elected .

I tell you the SAME cycle repeat. You will see Parliament as SLEEPING place again if there is NO increase of opposition seats.

[Migrant]

You get one to call someone else an elephant or keleng kia in parliament and see how?.
Or keep nagging the same issues.
Explain to him also don't understand.

On the contrary, late LkY disagreed with PM Lawrence Wong

Without Singapore Founding Father late Lee Kuan Yew there is no LW today

[Gemstar]

你黑白不分？

There are people blinded by their follies. Already colour blind. Can't help it.

[Wy:Nox]

Hell No! FTs are here to complement us and the same goes for PaP. More Oppositions are here to complement you. We need Foreigners logic similarly is applied here where PaP need more Oppositions. 

Good Govt is made of 4 Components and the PaP is weak in all 4. Above all, we need more Opposition members to strengthen the Parliament, to invigorate more discussion, to make PaP better, to help PaP, to help us.

你黑白不分？

,明明是白(pap)

我在说这个，须要查明先才来发表，Leong m y is asking for apple but tan s l is answering durian. Go and listen to the parliament debate before commenting pl.
