才刚踏入2025年，1月4日武吉甘柏好景园（Goodview Gardens）邻里就发生了一起疑似朝野政党党工的语言和肢体冲突事件。
事件引起双方在社交媒体脸书上的口水战，照片加视频，各说各话。
最新发展是，前进党主席陈清木医生1月12日接受媒体访问时说：
“我们行事须保持绅士风度，我希望所有党员都行为端正。所有新加坡人自小都被教育做事要公平公正，所以当我听说这件事（指冲突事件），感到有点不安。警方将会进行调查，把事情弄清楚。我们要传达给新加坡人的信息是前进党要公平竞争，我们不要使用那些不应在新加坡出现的手段。”
警方已经介入调查，这起风波可算是为今年内即将到来的选战掀开序幕。
来龙去脉
事发地点落在蔡厝港集选区内，属贸工部兼文化、社区及青年部高级政务部长刘燕玲所直接管辖，如果说该地点是谁的“地盘”，则显然是刘燕玲的地盘。
在新加坡民主选举制度下，任何反对党都可以到任何选区去“插旗”，但不是插了旗，该选区就属于它的地盘。
刘燕玲原不想针对人民行动党党工阿兹曼（Azman Ibrahim）被新加坡前进党党工赏以两巴掌的暴力对待报警，只想在脸书上讨个公道。
星期三（1月8日）上午，刘燕玲在脸书发文驳斥前进党的贴文，行动党义工阿兹曼星期四（9日）傍晚上载两段视频，作为“呈堂证据”。
过后，前进党主席陈清木医生强烈回应刘燕玲的指控，否认前进党义工拉扯和掌掴行动党义工。
陈清木当时说：
“阿兹曼上载的视频并没有显示有掌掴行为，而只是通过视频字幕作出相关指控。”
从常理来说，任何人对突如其来的两记“如来神掌”，要闪都来不及，哪有时间把手机镜头对准来拍？除非刚好有路人甲经过，又刚好他的手机对准那一刻，才能捕捉到珍贵镜头。
陈清木是厘清事实还是为其党工强辩 ，且待警方调查。
而前进党秘书长潘群勤也发文，说自己也曾被行动党义工跟踪和骚扰，并希望同类事件不要再发生。她这一说法，分散了人们的注意力。
互相跟拍贴得太紧也可能形成骚扰
朝野政党的党工在选区内活动时，互相跟拍是常有的事，说是骚扰，也就是骚扰，说是探盘，也就是探盘。
组屋区是公众场所，只要不扰民，不破坏治安，政党的拜票活动，几年一次，也算是给平静的组屋区增添一点热闹。
事实上，行动党和其他两三个反对党，平时也常在组屋区里走动，尤其是执政党。
反对党的人力和资源不及执政党，所以也只能自己划定一些重点活动选区，并视之为自己的“地盘”。
陈清木说：
“如果我们的义工有粗暴行为，我们会采取纪律行动。如果他们是被污蔑的，我们会全力否认这些指控。前进党不会姑息任何暴力行为，也不愿看见人民因为政治而分化。不管怎么说，我们都是新加坡人，希望为国家和人民带来最好的。”
陈主席斯言美哉，如果警方调查结果显示“两巴掌事件”是事实，前进党到时是否真的把这当作纪律事件处理，并向行动党道个歉，考验该党的诚意。
而如果事实证明是行动党党工捏造事实或歪曲真相，过后又对警方撒谎，也是严重的行为。
“两巴掌事件”不可能停留在“罗生门”状态，总有一方是对的。
涉事政党必须认真清理门户
既然警方已经介入调查，说假话的一方，若继续坚持说假话，涉事的政党就必须认真清理门户。
新加坡政坛越来越热闹，执政党即使占据优势，也不敢小看反对党。
对于来临大选，执政党表现出极大的危机感，因为反对党集中全力瞄准三几个集选区，就可能大有斩获。
黄循财总理去年11月底在行动党干部大会上发言时提出了他的担心。他说，一旦新加坡人对执政党支持率小幅下降，就有可能导致行动党再失去三四个集选区，或令政府失去四分之一的部长。
各政党正在加紧访问选区的活动，他们旗下的党员和义工也士气高涨，朝野政党在选区内两军相遇，如何反应，各政党都应该划定红线。
新加坡论坛Reddit上也针对此事件掀起热烈讨论。其中一张迷因梗图捕捉了不少人的眼球。你是否也看穿了其深意？
政党党工竞选热情上了头，难免作出过激的语言和肢体反应，朝野政党慎之戒之！
Just at the beginning of 2025, on January 4th, an alleged verbal and physical altercation involving workers from both the ruling and opposition parties took place at Goodview Gardens, a neighborhood in Bukit Batok. The incident has ignited a heated debate on social media platform Facebook, with both sides exchanging accusations through photos and videos.
In the latest development, Dr. Tan Cheng Bock, Chairman of the Progress Singapore Party (PSP), said in a media interview on January 12th: "We must maintain a gentlemanly demeanor in our actions, and I hope all party members will behave properly. All Singaporeans have been taught to be fair and just since childhood, so when I heard about this incident, I felt a little uneasy. The police will investigate and clarify the matter. We want to convey to the Singaporean people that the PSP wants fair competition, and we don't want to use methods that should not appear in Singapore."
The police have already started their investigation, and this incident can be considered the opening salvo of the upcoming election this year.
Background:
The incident occurred within the Choa Chu Kang GRC (Group Representation Constituency), which is directly under the jurisdiction of Ms. Grace Fu, Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry, Culture, Community and Youth. If we were to say who "owns" the area, it would be Ms. Fu.
Under Singapore's democratic election system, any opposition party can go to any constituency to "plant their flag," but this doesn't mean the constituency belongs to them.
Ms. Fu initially didn't want to report the alleged assault of PAP worker Azman Ibrahim by a PSP worker (who allegedly slapped him twice) to the police, and only wanted to seek justice on Facebook.
On Wednesday (January 8th) morning, Ms. Fu posted on Facebook to refute PSP's post, and on Thursday (January 9th) evening, PAP worker Azman uploaded two videos as "evidence."
Afterward, Dr. Tan Cheng Bock strongly responded to Ms. Fu's accusations and denied that PSP workers had pulled or slapped PAP workers. Dr. Tan said at the time: "Azman's uploaded videos do not show any slapping behavior, but only make relevant accusations through video captions."
Common sense tells us that anyone caught off guard by two sudden "Buddha's Palm strikes" would have no time to react, let alone point their phone camera at it. Unless there was a random passerby whose phone happened to be pointed at that moment, only then could a precious shot be captured.
Whether Dr. Tan is clarifying the facts or defending his party member, we'll have to wait for the police investigation.
Meanwhile, PSP Secretary-General Hazel Poa also wrote a post, saying that she had also been followed and harassed by PAP workers, and hoped that similar incidents would not happen again. This statement diverted people's attention.
Mutual filming can be too close for comfort:
It's common for workers from both ruling and opposition parties to film each other during campaigning in constituencies. This could be considered harassment, or it could be considered reconnaissance.
HDB (Housing Development Board) estates are public areas. As long as they don't disturb residents or disrupt public order, political campaigning, which happens every few years, can be seen as adding a bit of excitement to the peaceful HDB estates.
In fact, PAP and other two or three opposition parties often walk around in HDB estates, especially the ruling party.
Opposition parties have less manpower and resources than the ruling party, so they can only define some key campaign areas and consider them as their "territory."
Dr. Tan said: "If our workers have acted rudely, we will take disciplinary action. If they are being slandered, we will vigorously deny these accusations. The PSP will not tolerate any violence and does not want to see people being divided because of politics. No matter what, we are all Singaporeans, and we hope to bring the best for our country and people."
Dr. Tan's words are beautiful, but if the police investigation finds the "two-slaps incident" to be true, will the PSP really treat this as a disciplinary matter and apologize to the PAP? This will test the party's sincerity.
If it turns out that the PAP worker fabricated or distorted the truth and then lied to the police, that would also be a serious offense.
The "two-slaps incident" cannot remain in a "Rashomon" situation. One side must be right.
The involved parties must seriously clean house:
Since the police have intervened in the investigation, if the party that is lying continues to insist on their lie, then the involved parties must seriously clean house.
Singapore's political landscape is becoming increasingly lively. Even though the ruling party has a dominant position, it doesn't dare underestimate the opposition.
For the upcoming election, the ruling party shows great anxiety, as the opposition is focusing its efforts on a few GRCs, which could lead to significant gains.
In a speech at the PAP Central Executive Committee meeting at the end of November last year, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong expressed his concern, saying that if Singaporeans' support for the ruling party drops slightly, it could lead to the PAP losing three or four GRCs, or even causing the government to lose one-fourth of its ministers.
All political parties are stepping up their activities in constituencies, and their members and volunteers are also enthusiastic. When the ruling and opposition parties meet in the constituencies, both sides should draw a red line for how they will react.
The Singapore forum Reddit has also been abuzz with discussion about this incident. One meme picture has caught the eye of many people. Have you also seen through its deep meaning?
Political workers get carried away with their campaign ent
husiasm and inevitably make excessive verbal and physical reactions. Both the ruling and opposition parties should take heed!
