Excessive publicity on PKMS fracas

[temasekreview]

It has been 2 weeks already and the Straits Times is still following up keenly on the PKMS fracas which saw two factions of the beleaguered opposition party broke out openly in a street-fight.

PKMS, which was little known previously to Singaporeans, suddenly found itself at the center of public attention unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.

This week, the Straits Times journalists gave extensive interviews to the leaders of PKMS giving them the opportunity to “wash their dirty linen” in public while their voices were never heard in the past. (since when did ST approach PKMS to solicit their opinions on matters pertaining to the Malay community?)

Yesterday, the Straits Times published a full-page editorial on how the PKMS fracas may tarnish the image of the Singapore Democratic Alliance of which it is a component party and its leader Potong Pasir MP Mr Chiam See Tong.
The writer even sounded genuinely concerned about the situation by repeatedly exhorting Mr Chiam to “keep his own house in order”.

I like the phrase ‘cannot be trusted’.

They are quite worried then about the SDA (+/- Reform Party) move to win a GRC.....

Should be quite a confidence boost for the Oppos

Trust or no trust, Chiam is one old fellow who should retire from politics and let new blood take over...

If Chaim still young, ok, he can still play politics...

I doubt that the PAP is worried about Chiam, SDA or PKMS.
