*45. Mr Pritam Singh: To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs whether Singapore's decision to abstain on the successfully passed United Nations (UN) resolution to elevate Palestine's status at the UN into a non-member observer state, increases Singapore's vulnerability to terrorists sympathetic to the Palestinian cause; and whether his Ministry will consider voting in concert with the majority of ASEAN members on Palestine-specific issues at the UN in future, so as to speak with one ASEAN voice on the matter.

A very good question. Though not exactly the key area of foreign policy concern. Would like him to ask more about US shift to Asia, Singapore-Burma, Singapore-World Bank (this goes under finance though), Singapore and emerging powers

I won't be surprised if each of them has been assigned an area of specialisation, maybe not to the point where they can be considered shadow ministers, but slowly working towards there.

Pritam certainly has been asking a lot of these questions if you check the parliamentary records. The rest have fired all other sorts.

WP expanding out of their bread and butter livelihood issues. Shows growing maturity and confidence.

IMHO his efforts are admirable especially when you have to face up to Shanmugam in parliament and as expected, he got nicely snubbed.

good effort but you definitely have to be more prepared to reply back to whatever (dismissive) answers you are gonna get Pritam!

We have to note that while Pritam is almost solo, Shan has the entire MFA at his disposal.

That's why Pritam must be a David to Goliath....

That's why whatever Pritam says, he cannot go wrong in parliament as he has underdog status because of David and Goliath image. Unless he stupid and plagiarise again.

stirring up a hornet's nest against our israeli friends to score some political brownie points is not cool.
