The 11 hours debate in Parliament that lasted until 12:30 am, past midnight, has brought out the characters of certain PAP MPs and Ministers. The background voices spoke even louder while opposition speakers were speaking. I take off my hat for the two PSP members who stood firm, steady and never loss their cool amidst the coordinated and concerted onslaughts of various PAP heavyweights and jeering jesters of the party in the background.
From YouTube snippets and TodayOnline's report, if you are alert and discerning, you can easily distinguish between the PAP's spoilt brats from the PSP's gentleman and lady.
Read the excerpts from TodayOnline:
"Mr Leong told TODAY that Dr Balakrishnan had indeed called to convey his apology for what was said on a “hot mic”, adding: “I accepted his apology. Let’s put our time to better use for Singapore and Singaporeans.”
He, however, said that he is curious as to who the other persons in the conversation are, and wants to know why they held the institution that he had attended “in contempt”.
PSP secretary-general Francis Yuen made a veiled reference to the incident on Wednesday evening in a Facebook post on PSP’s maiden parliamentary motion.
“Yes, (the motion) may have been rejected by Parliament. But we believe the public knows and understands why we had to table the motion and get this debate going,” Mr Yuen said.
"Unlike some quarters who may find dissenting voices illiterate, we have confidence that our fellow Singaporeans are enlightened and educated, and will not miss the woods for the trees.”
PSP chairman Tan Cheng Bock also weighed in on the matter in another Facebook post.
“Our two NCMPs fought hard. Despite difficult odds, they endured relentless attacks and even disrespectful insults from PAP (People’s Action Party) MPs. Yet with great courage and tenacity, they persevered – and I am very proud of them,” Dr Tan wrote.

The ruling party politicians and MPs consist of political and ideological hooligans and scumbags who try to make up for their lack of qualitiy and intelligence with rude and insulting remarks against the respectable and knowledgeable opposition NMP speakers.Shame on these outrageous, useless, obsolete and good for nothing ruling party MPs.
Eagle Eyes
With the titles they think they are gods.
When they lose their titles and roam the streets, people would not hew them.
Some got nothing to do in spite of million dollar pay and spent time becoming salesmen, doing things that had nothing to do with their pay.
Even RI got thrashed for nothing, a lousy school. Bonkers.
There are many ministers from the lousy school called RI. These ministers must also be illiterate.
Parents please take note, RI is a lousy school producing illiterate. Still want to send your children to RI?
In a show of Substance,
the Debate is also an indicator of wheat and chaff.
