Mr Low's speech drew a 30-minute-long rebuttal from Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Lim Swee Say, who said he was at "a loss for words" at Mr Low's comments.
Addressing the House first in Mandarin, Mr Lim said that he "sincerely hopes the Opposition can change their usual ways" and not only criticise policies without putting forth alternative suggestions.
In English, Mr Lim added: "To accuse the PAP Government as a team of ministers led by the Prime Minister as individuals who are only interested in our self interests, and we come into politics to enrich ourselves, to take care of our interests at the expense of the people, I think I'm at a loss of words to describe my feelings inside."
Mr Lim also took issue with Mr Low for claiming "credit for all the positive changes that have taken place since the General Election". Mr Lim added: "Let's not be politicians and keep worrying about votes ... Let us be political leaders worrying about the future of Singapore. Let us put Singaporeans first, not PAP first, not Workers' Party first."

(His 30-minute 'chui kong, lampar song' rebuttal is the Freudian slip of a man who is guilty about the fact that he is ripping taxpayers every month. THIS is the man who famously said "I feel so rich everytime I look at my CPF statement.)
