GE2020: Ivan Lim incident 'regrettable' but it's time to focus on issues that matter, says DPM Heng

SINGAPORE: Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat said the withdrawal of potential candidate Ivan Lim is “regrettable”, but said the People’s Action Party (PAP) is now focusing on the key issues of people’s jobs, lives and future.
“Secretary-general Mr Lee Hsien Loong has already made his stance clear; you can see the exchange of letters (between the two),” said Mr Heng, who is also PAP’s first assistant secretary-general, on Sunday (Jun 28).
The important thing for PAP is to focus on the key issues facing Singapore as set out in the party's manifesto, he said.
“We are facing enormous challenges and let us keep our minds very focused on this issue, bring everyone together and deal with this decisively and effectively.”

Mr Lim, 42, announced on Saturday night that he had decided not to contest in the General Election, after online criticism about his conduct during his time in National Service, among other accusations.
In a PAP statement on the same day, Mr Lee said he accepted Mr Lim's decision to withdraw.

Criticism surfaced online after Mr Lim, a general manager with Keppel Offshore and Marine, was introduced on Wednesday as one of the PAP's 27 new potential candidates. He was the first batch of new faces unveiled by the party for the 2020 General Election.
When asked on Sunday whether the PAP would conduct a thorough investigation into the allegations against Mr Lim, and whether he had quit the party entirely, Mr Heng replied: “As the PM has said, there is no time for that.
“We will deal with those issues like we always do after the General Election, (when we can) do a review,” he said during a walkabout at a Compassvale food court in the new Sengkang GRC.
National Development Minister Lawrence Wong, who was on a walkabout in Woodlands on Sunday, said Mr Lim has "done the responsible thing" by withdrawing.
“We don’t know whether the allegations are founded or not,” he said. Referencing Mr Lee’s letter, Mr Wong said there is “no time to do a proper and full investigation”, and that they “really do not have any reason to believe that these allegations are true.”
"FIERCE COMPETITION" EXPECTED IN SENGKANG
With Mr Heng on Sunday were labour chief Ng Chee Meng, Senior Minister of State for Health and Transport Lam Pin Min, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Home Affairs Amrin Amin and new candidate lawyer Raymond Lye.

The four are all but confirmed to stand for the PAP in Sengkang, which is expected to see a tough contest with the Workers’ Party (WP).
While former Sembawang Member of Parliament (MP) Mr Amrin said he expected “fierce competition”, he said what is important is prioritising the community.
“We need to assess the programmes, suggestions and manifesto by all political parties, and think of how we can fulfil and execute our promise,” he said. “We have track record and capability to fulfil it.”
Sengkang GRC has a younger demographic, the candidates said, with key concerns involving jobs and the “sandwich generation” of residents in their 40s and 50s who might need to care for both children and elderly parents.

Former Pasir-Ris Punggol MP Mr Ng said his team will organise job fairs on Jul 2 and 3 and eventually set up a satellite job centre in the constituency.
“What we want to do in Sengkang is to move these government policies onto the ground, so residents can access these possibilities that the Government has provided, including what NTUC has done,” he said.
“We’ll be bringing in job fairs to match displaced workers to new jobs. The community centre and different agencies will help to bring government initiatives to the ground to help residents.”
Mr Ng also said he wanted to create better living conditions in Sengkang. This includes building an aquatic playground in Sengkang West and two new community centres for family activities.
It is important that Sengkang isn’t just ”an advanced cosmopolitan town”, Mr Ng said, but one that has “the friendships and neighbourliness to take care of each other, especially in a crisis like this”.

WP CONTEST
Mr Ng said regardless of what happens on Nomination Day, the PAP will field a “strong team” in Sengkang with candidates who listen to residents.
Mr Amrin said he is sad to be leaving Sembawang, but pledged to bring the same dedication to serving residents in Sengkang.

“Sengkang and Woodlands are slightly different,” he said. “Sengkang is a relatively newer town with more younger families who are very affected by this crisis.”
The WP, the only opposition party to say it will contest Sengkang, could field former Punggol East MP Lee Li Lian, and new candidates economics professor Jamus Lim, Credit Suisse equity research analyst Louis Chua and Raeesah Khan, who founded a movement that runs programmes to empower women.
When asked about a potentially fierce contest with WP, Mr Ng said: “In our democratic process, we welcome competition for the good of the GRC.
“But my focus and my team’s focus will be on our residents, regardless of the different issues or politics in the next two weeks,” he said.

Seriously, from the pictures of the PAP candidates, which of them look like they are capable
let alone dare to challenge the leaders. And if Ivan is representative of the way the new ones
speak, then CCS may well be among the most eloquent speakers in parliament.

Lawrence Wong: Fair That People Scrutinise Ivan Lim; Character of Candidate is a Serious Issue
By
George Yang
In the last few months, we’ve grown to know that when Prime Minister Lawrence Wong spe—
Reader Bao: He’s not Singapore Prime Minister, for dog’s sake!

Oh sorry. What I meant is that when President Lawrence Wong speaks, we’d all up the volume of our speakers and listen intently. Sometimes, his words would lead to cheers, like the one he did in the middle of this month. Very often it led to tears—so often, he himself also teared while he spoke.
So when he spoke today, we waited with bated breath, hoping that he won’t bring us back to Phase One because more people have been gathering in Holland Village.
Thankfully, he didn’t say anything about COVID-19, which sounds weird.
But you’ve to remember that Lawrence Wong isn’t just the co-chair of the multi-ministry task force set up to tackle the COVID-19 outbreak and the Minister of National Development—he’s also a husband to a woman who knows how to cut hair and a Member of Parliament for Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC.
If that’s not enough, the 48-year-old is also a member of the PAP Central Executive Committee (CEC) and the Advisor to PAP Policy Forum (PPF).

So with the election fever, he’s not going to merely talk about Circuit Breaker or Phases or his haircut, but about the election, too.
And today, the enemy of COVID-19 has spoken about the elections during his walkabout, and of course people asked him about Ivan Lim.
Lawrence Wong: Fair That People Scrutinise Ivan Lim
Mr Wong said, “The public will want to scrutinise all our candidates – that’s fair – and they will scrutinise opposition party candidates as well.”

He acknowledged that the character of any candidate is a serious issue. So does he believe in the allegations? “We do not have any reason to believe that these allegations are true, but we do not have the time either, to mount a full investigation.”

With that, he urged people to give Ivan Lim and his family members some privacy and space to recover from COVID-19—I mean, from this issue.
Responsible Thing to Do
The phases of Ivan Lim’s controversy came in three phases: Phase One was when the online allegations about his elitist conduct surfaced, Phase Two was his response to the allegations that led to more allegations and finally Phase Three when he withdrew from the contest, which some would call a switch in a Circuit Breaker of candidates.
Reader Bao: I’ve never seen anyone tried so hard before
Thanks.
Mr Wong said, “He recognised the controversy around his candidacy was threatening to eclipse and distract us from the serious nature and the serious issues that we have to confront during this election and during this crisis.”
According to Mr Wong, Ivan did the socially responsible thing by withdrawing from the contest, though it was a “very difficult and painful decision for him.”

Mr Wong then commented about the selection process, saying, “No process is perfect, no candidate is perfect, but we stand by our selection process.
“It is a selection process that has thrown up many good candidates over many years and in this particular election.”
In the meantime, the face of the fight against COVID-19 shows us what leading by example is in a video captured by The Straits Times, when he appears to count the number of people in a table a few million times even when everyone has settled down:

After GE, PM Lee will give justice to Ivan. Oppies who defamed him will be held responsible.

The People’s Action Party (PAP) will investigate the veracity of the allegations made against its former candidate Ivan Lim after the election, said the PAP’s Secretary-General Lee Hsien Loong on Monday (29 June), adding that people “cannot simply write off and destroy people like this”.

During the Party’s virtual press conference to unveil the candidates for Ang Mo Kio GRC today, Mr Lee was asked about PAP’s candidate selection and Mr Lim’s withdrawal from the election amid the various allegations that have been made against him on social media.

In response, he noted that Mr Lim did the right thing to withdraw and not let the controversy be a distraction in the election. But he added that it should not be the end of the case.

“We can’t let such serious things be said about somebody and have somebody leave with a cloud permanently hanging over him, and a question mark,” Mr Lee asserted.

He said the case will “set a very damaging precedent” that one can condemn someone and “write him off” based on an Internet campaign.
