SINGAPORE - Leader of the House Indranee Rajah issued a stern reminder to MPs on Tuesday (Jan 11) after Progress Singapore Party Non-Constituency MP Leong Mun Wai failed to substantiate his earlier allegations about vaccination-differentiated measures in schools.

Reminding MPs that they have to exercise their privilege of speaking in Parliament responsibly, she noted that Mr Leong had on Monday claimed that teachers were practising such measures - an allegation "which is cast out there and besmirches teachers as a whole".

During Monday's sitting, Mr Leong said he had received feedback from residents that some teachers have already practised vaccine-differentiated safe management (VDS) measures in schools.

Education Minister Chan Chun Sing then asked him for further information, including details about the schools and the supposed measures. Mr Leong replied that the feedback was on his WhatsApp message list and he could respond later.

On Tuesday, the NCMP began his clarification by addressing Mr Chan, saying "many distressed parents are still trying to get reassurance from you and your ministry and to be very clear of your position".

Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin then asked Mr Leong to make his clarification, and "not to make another speech".

After several reminders from the Speaker, Mr Leong told the House that his point on schools practising VDS measures was based on a screenshot from a Telegram chat group called SG Concerned Parents, which was sent to him by a Facebook friend. The screenshot said a teacher had scolded a student for being unvaccinated, he added.

Mr Tan then repeatedly asked for details about the school. Mr Leong said there was no mention of the school on the screenshot, but this was "public information" in the chat group, which had close to 6,000 members.

Ms Indranee then spoke to issue "salutary advice" to Mr Leong.

"I have in this House before spoken about the importance of being able to substantiate allegations that are made in this House, and we have seen what happens when members make allegations which cannot be substantiated or are irresponsible," she said.

Ms Indranee was alluding to former Sengkang GRC MP Raeesah Khan, who resigned from the Workers' Party in November after she admitted to lying in Parliament about details of a sexual assault case that she had alleged was mishandled by the police. A parliamentary committee is currently investigating the matter.

"What we have seen today is Mr Leong Mun Wai coming here, firstly, to grandstand and make broad allegations or broad speeches that have no bearing whatsoever on the details that were requested of him," Ms Indranee said.

"We have seen that when you, Mr Speaker, requested him to provide those details, he prevaricated and evaded, and now finally, we discover that the details cannot be forthcoming because he's referring to a Telegram chat where there are no details at all."

She underscored how MPs must exercise their privilege of speaking in the House, and said that she hoped this was something Mr Leong would bear in mind.

When asked by the Speaker if he had taken Ms Indranee's point, Mr Leong said he had noted it but wanted to ask a question. Mr Tan replied by saying that Parliament was moving to the next item on its agenda.

To be fair to Leong MW, he did not make any allegations against MOE and teachers. He was just recounting a message in the Whatsapp group and wanted Kee Chew to clarify if that was indeed the case. There was no allegation whatsoever.

However, by "alleging" that he was making an allegation, the Minister avoided the original question and did not have to confirm if there was or there wasn't any discrimination.

Oppo members always join some stupid Whatsapp chat groups and bring a bunch of assorted rubbish into parliament without verifying first.

later Induanee ask you substantiate how? :eek::eek::eek:
Last week, Fann Wong's son's school announced that unvax students could not play contact-sports during PE.
Kiasuparents have more of such sharings in other schools, latest posts from the MILFs said that team-sports CCA were unsure about how they should resume last week.

Unless Idranee substantiates that the above measures are not vaccination-differentiated in nature. Now Singapore very weird, several incidents like these saw Ministers consistently being misguided by their DD and Ds.

Vax discrimination is true.
Several schools announced unvax primary school kids cannot participate in contact sports during PE.
My primary school son came back with the feedback only he and a handful of students are unvaxed, most are either vaxed or had made appointments. Clearly they are trying to put pressure in class. If I receive any further information on such undue pressure, I will drive my Bentley and insist on entering the school to confront the principal.

This is a subtle way of creating awareness, one of the oldest tricks in the book
Recently, I observed that our COVID-leaderships had been sending mixed signals. Some leaders made blur press statements on, matters that were not decided, just playing with words. Last week was worse, even our local press masturbated and came out with fake stories, eg:
- Fake story about Triple-doses required in Oct & Nov 2021 for Sinovac/Sinopharm. Actual announcement was in Dec 2022
- False-claims that mRNA-vaccinated need to take 3 doses of Sinovac/Sinopharm if they want Sinovac/Sinopharm as boosters.
- Validity for full vaccine regimen is 270 days. But they refuse to clarify that validity of boosters is not 270 days.

You can fetch the principal in your Bentley to the newly-opened KTVs, to discuss further.

Earlier, i shared a post in from a healthcare chatgroup. Actually, many in healthcare are also unsure about getting vaxxed for the third time, or exploring non-mRNA options. Some teachers were just sharing official slides and announcements from MOE about vaccination but many of them have not taken third jab too. The saying is that MOH is holding employers (including MOE and Hospital Chiefs) responsible for making their staff take the booster to comply with the workplace ruling in the months ahead.

As much as you feel that your child was pressured, so are the teachers without booster-jabs.

Oppie LMW should not have been let off with a stern warning. The PAP should have convened another committee to grill Leong and his party's elders for this unsubstantiated accusations. Boy Scount chuan jin really dropped the ball here.
