How the PAP seems to be missing an open goal

It is clear Pritam fared remarkably well under hours of questioning. He remained very consistent and clear headed. Admitting that a lie had been told by an MP but insisting that the party leadership had no knowledge of the falsehood, he countered Tong’s points effectively and calmly and Tong increasingly began to look like he was badgering Pritam.

In one exchange, Tong said, “You appear to know your positions well, Mr Singh.” To which Pritam responded, “Well, I am leader of the opposition.”

This exchange has gone viral and Pritam’s “Well, I am leader of the opposition” and several other ripostes have become memes and many are taking it as an example of confidence and composure under pressure.

A lot of praise and admiration have been focused on his capability as a politician.

Singaporeans online seemed to question the need for such a long questioning over the statement of an MP who had herself already resigned.

Such heavy-handed efforts to discredit the party and its leadership over Raeesah’s statement seemed to many neutral observers to be overkill.

Of course it is understandable the PAP wants to make political capital out of Raeesah’s error but it is surprising that the manner in which they handled the questioning ended up generating at least some sympathy for the opposition.

Not really an open goal for PAP. It is more of a penalty kick, but Pritam is too good a goal keeper to let the ball go through him...... Rolleyes

And PnP would also shift the goalposts regularly and to their fancy so that the Oppo cannot score goals against them
