This is not the first time that a former establishment member has taken on the monolithic PAP, neither will it be the last (hopefully).
Prof Lim's points are spot on, and they are highly embarrassing to the PAP as they expose clearly their lack of attention to basic human dignity and the right to fair wages for Singaporeans (NOTE: fair does not mean high, fair means you are paid fairly based on what you have done and you're not exploited by companies that don't follow the spirit of the law or cheated by unscrupulous wage structures and lack of union representation).
What distinguishes this from previous episodes is that there are elements within the estab sympathetic to Prof Lim's views and not happy that the government is still trying to shovel its mercenary attitude down peoples' throats rather than acknowledging that there is a real problem.
The cracks are forming, and those at the top know it. People like Lee Yi Shyan are only making matters worse by clinging on and harping on the old PAP doctrines like a broken record out of time and place.
