This Mui Hoong reminds me of that mole faced girl Wee Shu-Min. Both are products of the PAP system & both are ugly inside & outside.

It is time for the WP to have some backbone, proper policy and objective to form the next government together with other opposition party / parties in a coalition. Time has passed for excuses like "providing check"s and balances", which are rubbish.

Chua's attempt to use NSP as a "straw-man" against WP isn't surprising given her agenda.

Given that she should know where to find information, she has intentionally chosen to omit this release by WP back in July 2011:

http://wp.sg/2011/07/overhauling-singapore’s-public-transport-model/

Let us also not forget WP's 2006 and 2011 manifesto on transport nationalization, which the PAP picked to adopt.

Quote:

The Workers' Party didn't say much. In Parliament during debate on the President's Address last Monday, Non-Constituency MP Gerald Giam merely observed that the change was being made, and added a line: "We have yet to see whether service quality will improve under the new bus contracting model and whether fares will continue to rise as the same rate as now."

The Singapore Democratic Party had one commentary from a member of its youth wing but didn't develop a party position.

The National Solidarity Party is the only one which has issued a more substantive response.

In 2011, it had called for a "route licensing scheme" under which companies bid for licences to run bus services along routes.

The Government's planned scheme looks a little like it, but for one critical difference: The NSP proposal would have bus operators owning the fleet of buses, whereas the Government opted to take over ownership, and just have bus companies run the bus services.

Since the announcement of the Bus Contracting Model (BCM), share prices of the two bus companies have gone up. Foreign operators are also keen to enter the market, noted the NSP in a statement last Thursday.

These are "all signs pointing to the fact that the current public transport operators expect to reap a handsome profit under the BCM scheme, without bearing sufficient risks for running the business", said the party.

I can understand the thought behind the NSP's question, which is one taxpayers may wonder about too: How to ensure that the BCM doesn't end up becoming a sweetheart deal for ComfortDelGro and SMRT, the two bus companies, and other new operators?

The NSP hasn't even got into Parliament, but as a voter, I appreciated its attempt to engage on serious issues of the day.

In contrast, the Workers' Party has seven elected MPs and two Non-Constituency MPs in Parliament. It's the leading opposition party, since no other has even one elected MP. It has said it can't form the government yet - but can be its "co-driver".

But its position on policy issues is sometimes hard to fathom. This explains the PAP's increasing frustration as ministers and MPs try to corner WP leaders into declaring their stand on a host of issues, as a look at Hansard records of Parliamentary proceedings will reveal.

Wayang party will lose more seats in the next election. They are given a chance and they screwed it badly.

Let us see the size of crowds attending their rallies in GE2016 and it will give an indication about their chances of winning or losing more seats.

WP - Wayang Party
PAPzi - Play Acting Party.
