Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam has urged the Worker's Party to rethink their bus "co-driver" analogy as the way forward for Singapore.
This after Workers' Party chief Low Thia Khiang had likened his party's role in Parliament to that of being the co-driver of a bus being driven by the ruling People's Action Party.
"A co-driver is there to slap the driver when he drives off course or when he falls asleep or drives dangerously," said Low, who is part of WP's A-team at Aljunied GRC, during his party rally on Thursday.
But speaking to the media on Friday, Minister Shanmugam responded that this could result in the bus crashing instead of enjoying a smooth drive as the WP promises.
"Do you really want a co-driver who will be fighting with the driver to take over the wheel and slapping, kicking him? Is this the way forward?" the minister asked."
