Raising this issue in Parliament risks heated attacks from the PAP because it is their pet policy and they will do anything to defend it.

The debate is totally asymmetric as :

1. The PAP holds all the data and refuse to give free access. It means they can ambush him with data they are holding a d hide data against them.

2. He has to handle many attacks coming from all directions from PAP members who totally outnumber him including ex lawyers and debaters.

3. He has to endure insults, cornering and  also trick questions designed to trap him...and all the dirty ploys they play on him to make him look bad. He was also falsely accused of promoting racism and xenophobia.  

Mr Leong and PSP did not prepare properly for the debate.

Below are the reasons:
1) He cannot produce proof that CECA/FTAs are the root cause.
2) He did not rebut PAP for accusing him of  racism and xenophobia.
3) He has no solid data to show that the job problem exists.
4) He keeps saying he has no data. How can he win debate when he has no data?
     If he has no data, do not debate. Just ask for data or collect data first.

Opposition needs better speaker/debater like Dr Chee.
