Chitchat Leon Perera vs Goh Meng Seng over online participation

[scroobal]

Leon Perera has stepped form the advisory board of The Independent SG and divest his shares in it. I think its a good move as it avoids unnecessary distractions and will no longer attract petty and pro-govt comments from the likes of Big Bertha's team .

Forummers will also recall that it was a similar issue for GMS and Chia Ti Lik in 2006 and both left the party. I wonder what they fortunes were if they had not.

I would like to announce that I am stepping down from the advisory board of The Independent Singapore (TISG) with immediate effect. I am also currently in the process of divesting my shareholding in the company that operates TISG to the other existing share-holders, a process which should be complete in the next month or so. I was not involved in the operation or management of TISG. However, I have decided to take this additional step to ensure that any perceived link to TISG does not distract public attention when policy positions are taken by the Workers' Party, particularly on issues related to media regulation. My recent appointment as Deputy Chair of the WP Media team also makes this a necessary move

Good work, Leon P. A loss to TISG no doubt but this is a man with clear priorities

No comparison with CTL & GMS . Leon is making this decision from a position of strength. The first two left because of pettiness and some would venture (on hindsight) that the party was in fact better of that way.
