The entire WP team should step down in shame and take responsibility. A by-election should be called as soon as possible. Bro Chee Meng and some of our trade union members will be walking the ground in slumkang soon.
Nicole Seah will be there to rescue Sengkang. GMS will eat sour grapes.
She is not from the minority race
Just grab some random food delivery boy would do. It's not like oppies will get better quality candidates when they screen them anyway.
Just replace her with a Nonya gay boy. Will check all the minority liberal checkboxes
oh please... one rotten apple does not mean that the whole tree needs to be taken down.
Wat about a chup cheng?
If the oppies want to make in roads. The best thing the wankers should do is for the shitkang team to resign and call for a BE. This way they can command the morale high ground and let the ppl decide. With the mudslime racists gone the wankers can win easily. As they now got no baggage . N there will be times that a pap grc loose an mp and no BE as pap hates it. And if tat happens. The wankers can say hey they got a BE etc etc and the pap just cowers and deny the peoples rights. If the wankers hang on. Than they are no different to the pap. And subsequent MPs resign etc and no need BE.
Just watched WP's press conference on YouTube. Pritam did well answering all questions.
Raeesah was a timebomb .. WP better beware of these young radical types. According to wiki she only joined WP in 2018 and quickly got fielded last year. Interesting to see who's going to replace her vacated MP seat

It appears that the wanker elders were complicit in deceiving Parliament. They should all be investigated and made to step down too.
SINGAPORE - Political observers on Thursday (Dec 2) described the Workers' Party's handling of Ms Raeesah Khan as a failure of leadership, after it emerged top party leaders had known about their MP's deceit for three months, but did not set the record straight and let the issue fester.
The episode could set back the WP's gains and undermine the standing of party chief Pritam Singh, some observers said.
Others, though, felt the WP had shown its sincerity to make things right by letting Ms Khan resign.
At a press conference on Thursday, Mr Singh revealed that Ms Khan had, a week after making a speech containing the falsehood on Aug 3, confessed to WP leaders that she had lied in Parliament. She had spoken about accompanying a rape victim to the police station and hearing inappropriate comments.
Mr Singh said the party did not act earlier as Ms Khan said she had been a victim of sexual assault herself, and he wanted to give her time to speak to her family about it. He added it was incumbent on her to clarify the matter in Parliament.
However, Associate Professor Eugene Tan from the Singapore Management University School of Law said Mr Singh, as Leader of the Opposition, had a higher duty to Parliament and to Singaporeans to do something.
Yet he sat by on Oct 4 when Ms Khan misled Parliament again after she was pressed by Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam for details so the police could look into the handling of the rape case.
"It is incredulous that given Ms Khan's repeated assault against the dignity of Parliament and victims of sexual crimes that the party still held the position that any clarification was Ms Khan's to make in her capacity as an elected MP," said Prof Tan. "This speaks to the breakdown of party discipline and perhaps suggests that the party leadership was hoping that the Ministry of Home Affairs would not pursue the matter further."
Ms Nydia Ngiow, managing director at strategic advisory consultancy BowerGroupAsia Singapore, said Thursday's revelations "could potentially set back the work that (former WP chief) Low Thia Khiang and other WP leaders had done to distinguish the party from the rest of the opposition".
She suggested there were ample opportunities for the party to step up to set the record straight.
Prof Tan said the party could have issued a statement stating Ms Khan had misled Parliament, given the gravity of the matter.
Allowing the issue to drag on had also negatively implicated a law enforcement agency, said National University of Singapore Associate Professor of Sociology Tan Ern Ser.
He said Ms Khan's repeated lies and the party's inaction led the police to deploy valuable time and resources to locate the case, and as more time elapsed, Ms Khan "went on to dig a deeper hole for herself
However, NUS political science department's deputy head Bilveer Singh felt three months was a reasonable time frame. "The key is the party not standing by someone who did not tell the truth," he said.
He said political parties should not be expected to pay the price for a politician's mistake, adding the People's Action Party has survived the indiscretions of former MPs such as Mr Michael Palmer and Mr David Ong, who had to step down over extramarital affairs.
Prof Tan Ern Ser said Ms Khan's departure from the party shows the WP is sincere in putting its house in order. "I think Singaporeans are quite inclined to cut an opposition party of the WP's stature some slack, and since Raeesah has come clean and the party has promised to set things right, the WP would not be adversely affected by this episode," he added.
But with Parliament's Committee of Privileges still looking into the matter, some analysts said WP leaders could still face censure.
Ms Ngiow said: "Having the leaders knowingly decide to wait and let these mistruths drag on makes them seemingly complicit in what was originally thought to be just a misstep made by Raeesah."
Her view was shared by Prof Eugene Tan, who said since the party was "arguably complicit and deceitful", Mr Singh could end up being sanctioned by Parliament.
"MPs owe a duty to their constituents and their party but, above all, to Singapore and Singaporeans. In this sad debacle, it was about protecting the party first," he

Wanker elders told Khan to keep on lying!!! Wankers are so fucked!!!
SINGAPORE - Three senior Workers' Party (WP) MPs had told their party colleague Raeesah Khan to stick to the lie she had told in Parliament on Aug 3, the Committee of Privileges heard this week.
Ms Khan and two other party members said she was told by WP chief and Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh, WP chairman Sylvia Lim and WP vice-chairman Faisal Manap in an Aug 8 meeting that there was no need for her to clarify herself or for the truth to be told.
These were among a number of revelations contained in a special report that the Committee presented to Parliament on Friday (Dec 3), and which has been made public on Parliament's website, alongside footage of the committee's hearings over the past two days.
Ms Khan, who resigned from the party and as an MP for Sengkang GRC on Tuesday, told the Committee chaired by Speaker Tan Chuan-Jin that the WP leaders told her to keep to the lie.
"If Ms Khan and the WP could get away with it, there was no need to clarify the lie. If the matter was brought up again, there would also be no need for her to clarify and there was no need for the truth to be told," the Committee said in its report.
On Aug 8, Ms Khan told her secretarial assistant Loh Pei Ying and WP volunteer Yudhishthra Nathan what had transpired at her meeting with the three party leaders. Ms Khan had messaged: "I told them what I told you guys, and they've agreed that the best thing to do is to take the information to the grave."
Ms Khan and Ms Loh gave evidence to the committee on Thursday and Friday, while Mr Nathan did so on Friday.
Ms Khan's former legislative assistant Lim Hang Ling testified on Thursday.
The report comes a day after Mr Singh told a press conference that the party leaders had decided to give her time to deal with the matter, as she had also told them she had been a sexual assault victim herself, and had not told her family about it.
In her Aug 3 speech, Ms Khan said she had accompanied a 25-year-old rape victim to a police station to make a report, and that the officer who interviewed the victim had made inappropriate comments about the victim's dressing and the fact that she was drinking. But Ms Khan never accompanied the victim to a police station.
She later admitted that the victim had shared the account in a support group for women, which Ms Khan herself was in, and said she did not have the victim's consent to share the story.
In her evidence to the Committee, Ms Khan also disputed statements made by Mr Singh at his press conference on Thursday (Dec 2), where among other things, Mr Singh told reporters that he had directed Ms Khan to take responsibility and admit to her lie in Parliament, and that she had contradicted this order.
She said that on Oct 3, a day before the Oct 4 Parliament sitting, Mr Singh visited her at her home and said that if she kept to her existing narrative on the untruths which she had said on Aug 3, there would be no judgement by him.
"Ms Khan understood... that Mr Pritam Singh was advising her to continue to lie, should the matter come up the next day during the Parliamentary session.
"Mr Pritam Singh did not ask Ms Khan to clarify and state the truth in Parliament," said the Committee.
"To the contrary, Ms Khan was advised that she can continue to lie."

Bayi taichee tuatiao liao.
Will the 3 senior wankers sue her for defamation? Dumbass wankers let a snake into their midst
Bayi taichee tuatiao liao.
Can't wait to see chief oppie Bayi commit hara kiri for instigating his minions to keep on lying in Parliament. Wankers' Party is so so fucked!!
Khan's wanker minions also say that wanker elders told Khan to keep on lying in Parliament!!!
SINGAPORE - Unlike what the Workers' Party leaders had claimed, former Sengkang GRC MP Raeesah Khan had not been the sole actor in allowing her lie in Parliament to go uncorrected, two party members told a Parliament committee looking into the matter.
In fact, the leaders had asked her to "take the information to the grave", and by not being transparent about their own role, they had been highly unfair to the erstwhile MP, Ms Loh Pei Ying and Mr Yudhishthra Nathan added.
Ms Loh, who was Ms Khan's secretarial assistant, and Mr Yudhishthra, a WP member assisting Ms Khan, were testifying before Parliament's Committee of Privileges.
The committee, on Friday (Dec 3) night, released a special report on its investigation into Ms Khan's conduct, including video testimonies of Ms Khan, Ms Loh and Mr Nathan recorded over two days of hearings on Thursday and Friday.
Ms Loh has been a party member for 10 years, and was WP chief Pritam Singh's secretarial assistant. Mr Nathan has been a volunteer since 2013, became a member in 2016 and had been in the council of the WP youth wing.
They corroborated Ms Khan's testimony to the committee, that WP leaders had asked her not to confess about having lied. Both knew by Aug 7 that what Ms Khan said in Parliament on Aug 3 was not truthful, after she confessed to them.
Ms Loh said she was assuaged that the party's leaders had been informed. However, she soon realised they wanted Ms Khan to batten down and keep to her untruthful story, instead of coming clean to the House, she said.
When Ms Khan again repeated her lie in Parliament on Oct 4, Ms Loh felt shocked and scared for her. It turned out that Mr Singh had met Ms Khan a day earlier to talk about it, and indicated that he would leave it up to her to decide if she wanted to tell the truth in Parliament. He also told Ms Khan that he would not judge her. This was related to Ms Loh and Mr Nathan by Mr Singh, during a meeting on Oct 12.
Asked about the matter by the committee, Ms Loh said she was disappointed with what Mr Singh had said to Ms Khan. Mr Nathan, meanwhile, said he felt Mr Singh had been rather indecisive.
When the party set up a disciplinary panel into Ms Khan's conduct on Nov 2, both Ms Loh and Mr Nathan were shocked, given the role the leadership had played.
Ms Loh said she felt the panel composition - Mr Singh, Ms Sylvia Lim and Mr Faisal Manap - was self-serving, as they were the very people who had advised Ms Khan on what to do and played a part in allowing the matter to drag on.

If the 3 senior wankers do not sue Khan, it means there is actually some truth in what Khan said this time, despite her reputation as a serial liar.
That is good..glad to see the wankers being decimated
