Will LHL Keep This Pledge He Made during Swearing In? His credibility at stake

[Confuseous]

"I pledge to work together with all Singaporeans to create a just and fair society," Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in his swearing-in speech at the Istana on 21 May.

THE PA AND THE PAP

The PAP has held an iron grip on the grassroots since Singapore's independence and opposition parties face almost insurmountable obstacles in establishing its own network of such outreach channels. Mr Low, in one of his rally speeches during the recent elections, raised the issue. He said "the PAP has made it almost impossible for the opposition to have a grassroots foothold, a physical venue to launch activities in PAP constituencies."

Referring to the PA, Mr Low told the rally crowd on 30 April:

"It is funded by the government, headed by the PM and its Board of Directors is made up of PAP appointees. They run all the grassroots organisations, including the Resident Committees and Community Clubs, making sure that the opposition is kept out of the grassroots in terms of the institutional structure.

Opposition MPs are not allowed to make use of Community club facilities to organise courses or activities for residents but PAP MPs are free to do so. I thought Community Clubs are meant for the community, not to propel the PAP's interests?"

The only thing consistent about Ass Loong is that he likes to screw peasants. Other things u can take with a pinch of salt.
