Actually it is better for the govt to replace the speaker and conclude this issue. Otherwise the future parliament sessions will lose credibility.
Citizens already seen the current speakers disdain for the opposition how are they going to trust his impartiality.
If he stays on until the elections, it becomes an election issue...which is worse for the ruling party.
I suspect the WP played the long game here not to raise a motion on the impartiality of the speaker. But PSP broke this by raising it.
The speaker akin to a referee is kelong...in the soccer world, he would be dismissed for showing favouritism..in the political scene in sg..he just get away by saying sorry....this is kelong.
The day 38 oxley road started there no integrity to talk about.

that is why it is good to have competition for oppositions also.
the more opposition parties, the more value for voters.

It is like putting Jac LAU to be a referee
always score own goals, lor
TCJ is like an albatross wrapped around the ruling party's kkj. Oh wait... or is it the neck?
