Or is it CB talk?
In a rather confusing Facebook post, defeated People’s Action Party (PAP) candidate in Aljunied GRC Victor Lye Thiam Fatt warned the people about “those who are truly politicians” while asserting that PAP activists should first and foremost be “political leaders”.
Aljunied GRC is held by the Workers’ Party (WP). Even though the opposition party won the ward in the 2011 and 2015 General Elections, some of the PAP candidates who faced off with the WP and lost have been installed in the ward as grassroots advisers. One such individual is Mr Lye.
Revealing that he made these same remarks at a meeting for PAP activists in the North-East district – a meeting that was attended by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Indranee Rajah – Mr Lye recounted that he told the activists that they need to be “ordinary and down-to-earth” and do not need to be spoken to as “office holders or heavyweights.”
In his post that was riddled with the phrase ‘therefore and thereby,’ Mr Lye said: “On Thursday night, shared with our NE District PAP activists about being ordinary and down-to-earth, people for our people. In that itself, we do not need to spoken of as office holders or heavyweights. Therefore and thereby, we know we are worthy to our people.
