Agree. They should report on the real wealth of past and present PAP men. That will help this country wake up 60% of the voters.

.......They should report on the real wealth of past and present PAP men..........

Do you honestly think it's gonna work? The PAP men are very good at stashing their ill-gotten wealth far away from prying eyes. There are many foreign consultancies based in Sinkieland whose job is to help in hiding assets or evading taxes of wealthy families.
