to be frank, I really think LTK did a good job as a NMP because
1) if you was not a good MP, why would the people in hougang vote him in again and again?
2) he expanded WP, and brought in people like sylvia lim, i dunno if the last election's AMK newbie team was his idea, but the 66.6% LHL get really made my days for 1 week
3) he know he is not good in talking in english, so he chose to talk very carefully during parliament to avoid negative press by ST.
for me, as an elected MP for hougang, his main purpose is to make the hougang people happy with hougang. i dun really think just 2-4 MPs in parliament and willing to speak is really what an opposition should only do. the media is controlled by PAP, it's so easy for them to take him out of context and sabotage him.
i remember when mas selamat escaped, LTK questioned LHL why WKS did not quit, and LHL gave a close to threaten response to LTK, and LTK just kept quiet. many people felt it's like he has no guts.
but i felt he was smart because
1) even if he argue with LHL for hours, the outcome is the same, and its 4 mouths against the whole parliament.
2) he knows he is not good in english, its so easy for LHL to take him out of context and sue his ass off.
just my take, if you guys want him to have more "guts" in parliament, bring in more opposition into the parliament please. just recall the last time you quarelled with others, no matter who is right or wrong, dont you get the upper hand when there are more people on your side?
