Totally agree with you. We now need MORE opposition MPs in Parliament to reduce the PAP monopoly. We do not have the luxury of choice at this point in time. First step is to get the opposition numbers in. I have made up my mind to vote any monkey in as long as it doesn't belong to PAP, if I get a chance to vote again. As for the fence sitter, if you want to see change it is time to to do so.
Exactly, any oppositions in parliament is better than nothing. This included Chee Soon Juan, YSL, Steve Chia - peoples with flaws but their intentions are clear - to check and examine the PAP govt.
Don't count on the NMPs, they shouldn't be in parliament in the first place. Those NMP should fight elections and enter parliament through the peasants mandate. You want to speak for the peasants then go and get your mandate through the ballot boxes. ( There's still 9 SMC left )
I respect those 3,4 times opposition candidates losers more than the NCMPs. They fought in every election, lose but come back to win the peasants votes again. I hope their perseverance pay off one day.
There might be PAP MPs who are critical of govt polices, doing what a opposition should do but when the Party whip is enforced, he will only vote by party decision.
Everyone favorite president Ong Teng Cheong. I think he probably voted in support for that farce of a GRC election act in the 1980s
