Serious WP's MP Yee tells CCS to stop his bull crap on EBRC

[Confuseous]

Workers’ Party (WP) politician Yee Jenn Jong has challenged Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing’s recent remarks that the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) is independent.
The EBRC is responsible for recommending amendments to the number and boundaries of electoral wards prior to each election. The Government announced that the EBRC was convened in August last year, signalling that the next election is imminent.
Mr Chan was asked whether the EBRC can be completely independent of the Prime Minister’s Office, at the Singapore Perspectives conference organised by the Institute of Policy Studies on Monday (20 Jan).
The Minister, who serves as the ruling party’s second assistant secretary-general, replied that the committee comprises of public servants with knowledge on matters like population and demographic changes and that he feels that the committee is independent and professional.

Chan said: “I have never doubted their independence. They do their job professionally. No matter who does the work, how it is done, you have to report to somebody and present it to be approved and issued.”

YJJ is lucky that Keechiu didn't ask him what's the point of challenging the independence of the EBRC.
