Li Shimin forced his father off the throne and shut the fuck up. Same situation LHL and LKY. Same surname. Analogy and irony LOL
Of course. But those days, everyone also like dat.

I don't think you are qualified to make that statement. But you are not alone. Many in the opposition camp are worse than being 'subjects'. And they are never subjects of the ruling party because another entity handles them.
Surely you can understand these 'special relationship' matters.
Goh Meng Seng said:The logic goes.... thus, better not to have criticisms... so what are WP MPs doing in parliament for the past few days?
It is a blessing that such illogical "perspective" doesn't get into parliament and count the blessings that PAP doesn't really have that many people with a sharp political mind to put up coherent rebuttal or even mockery.

You consider yourself having a sharp political mind? I hope not. It is not who has that or not but who is in parliament that counts. The sharpest of opposition political mind not elected is no winner.
Is there a rule in PAP to toe the party line these days?
It will be interesting to see how PAP use dubious self-clapping words when debating with opposition.
KuanTi01 said:Aiyoh it's really embarrassing to hear all these PAP MPs one by one "attacking" CSM's Emperor Tai Zong analogy? PAP MPs scoring little brownie points and making loud noises; passing off as parliamentary debate. They should instead clarify and then justify their own respective stands before going off on a tangent and worse still pretending to be smart. Rhetoric passing off as parliamentary debate. CSM was merely provoking and exhorting the PAP government to flourish and to bloom into a thousand flowers (if you don't mind my own analogy), bearing in mind this is his maiden speech as an opposition MP. There is no need for the PAP MPs to get so worked up unless they are feeling insecure with CSM in the House.
.
On the other hand, Sembawang GRC MP Ellen Lee rejected Chen’s analogy, arguing that it was inappropriate to compare the PAP to Emperor Tai Zong as he was an autocratic ruler in a feudal era.
She said, “We live in a modern, democratic society and the PAP believes in being responsible to the people. In a democracy, anyone has the right to speak.”
“While the analogy sounds romantic, on closer examination, it does not hold water.”
It's just funny how CSM can make PAP MPs waste their time attacking his analogies than to actually speak on real issues.
I guess the PAP never learnt from trying to attack the co-driver analogy back in GE.
I'm embarrassed that Ellen Lee is a lawyer. Does she understand the meaning of analogy ? The message is in the similarity, not differences in time and space.
Does Ellen Lee think that all Chinese proverbs and idioms are no longer applicable in today's world?
