While the PAP had been attacking the speck in the WP’s eye, Pritam brought the argument back to the beam in the PAP’s by reciting the long list of PAP Ministers and MPs who had been disgraced and jailed or forced to flee for corruption. The most famous case was Teh Cheng Wan who committed suicide to evade justice and where JBJ was sued and had to pay heavy damages for demanding a public inquiry into the circumstances of his suicide.
By contrast the PAP rally was a shameful affair. It consisted of two strategies. These were smearing Yaw Shin Leong and WP's handling of that fiasco and claiming the election was about local rather than national issues to reinforce their continual reminders that they control the purse strings when it comes to upgrading even though the money belongs to the state. I thought I would fall over when I heard Peh claim that it was the PAP who put rice and meat in our bowl rather than the hard work of the individual voters. And when Denise asked what the WP had done for the residents she contrasted them with Desmond Choo whom she said would be able to do more for residents. Not surprising if he is appointed grass roots adviser and has the resources of the PA behind him as well as control of the HDB. Speaker after speaker, without any sense of irony, asserted the PAP’s divine right to use state resources for partisan political ends! Desmond Choo even asked where the WP candidate would be if he loses. We can be certain of one thing. He will not be appointed grass roots adviser!
I dislike the bully boy tactics the PAP seem incapable of not using as well as the crucifixion of Yaw Shave been removed from office and from Parliament for real crimes not just sexual peccadilloes. After all how many PAP Ministers and MPs are divorced or separated? And as Pritam Singh pointed out, several have been removed from office and from Parliament for real crimes not just sexual peccadilloes.
