The elected government’s priority is always to look after the interests of the people. In this case, the public have been vocal and made clear that they would like the PA and PA sponsored events to be more inclusive and involve both PAP and non-PAP members. In the face of such strong public sentiment, it is clearly in the people’s interests for the PA to change its stance.
The PAP is a political party. It is not the government. It, being the winning party based on GE 2011’s results, forms the government and is currently the majority party in government.
The PA is formed to serve the government and not the PAP.
When governmental interests and PAP interests conflict, the PA must prioritise the interests of government.
The government’s overriding concern must be the welfare of the public.
The public have indicated that it is in their welfare for the PA to change its stance.
