I happened to watch the parliamentary highlights this evening and was perturbed by Minister Tan Chuan Jin belittling WP Gerald Giam implying that WP uses "rhetoric" and pressing "emotional buttons" to score political points. He and Iswaran tried very hard to make Gerald Giam and WP look bad.
Where emotional buttons are concerned, I think it is much worse to appear in photo op and television showing one's emotions at funeral wakes of taxi driver and innocent children tragically killed by vehicles. It is an open secret that Low Thia Kiang, since he was MP at Hougang, attended funerals of his residents who died. Neither he nor msm ever made a song and dance of it.
The honourable deed of "doing good in secret" is a not a trait of self-serving people who aim to be in the limelight to score points at the expense of others. Such self-serving bullies cannot understand let alone know how to "do good in secret". The decent, the sincere and the selfless who "do good in secret" do not flaunt their charitable traits and emotions to score political or any other points!

"I'm pained by the knowledge that I'll miss the many moments when my children are growing up and time with my family. My parents are not getting any younger. Those moments missed do not return. Ever... In time I will look back and there will be gaps. But that's life. I'm not sure how one considers it a privilege to miss these precious moments. It trivialises all of us who do cherish these." - Tan Chuan Jin, the disgraceful minister when bitching about his job and pay.
