no.. if i understand correctly, the bill is about "changing the law" so that a transaction can be stopped mid-way before it can be completed.

WP abstained from passing this bill as they would have preferred more/thorough review with probably more subject matter experts?

quoting from news article:
"However, we believe that the downsides to whether this Bill will be seen to be rushed and retrospective legislation-making, and this assault on legal and regulatory certainty that changing legislation in the middle of a major live transaction means that we would need to register our abstention on this Bill," she added.

Finally!!! Talk about the timing as well......

Who needs enemies when you have friends like this? :ROFLMAO:

Through this episode at Jalan Kayu & the other "emotional blackmail" at Punggol, voters should be more convinced that the threat by oppo is very real.
Looks like the incumbent wants NCM to be in at all cost

This "friend" thought that he/she could "Ivan Lim" Andre, but I think it did more damage to NCM instead.
Who hasn't mouthed any vulgarity in his or her life? The only bad thing is he got caught by a "friend"
Who hasn't been young & brash before? I think he is more real who speaks frankly

If HWZ forums aren't moderated, you will see alot of colourful language in the postings

The good thing is he took responsiblity fast. Perhaps it's also due to the election.
Or is the sale of Income-Allianz a lesser evil to the voters compared to the vulgarities from Andre?
And NCM kept quiet for so many months
Here the swear words are abbreviated and *** 🥹

still nobody CSI who is the snake ?
MANY MANY (> 10) years ago ... someone went to tell my then GF that I was two-timing her.

Yup.

Broke off.

From then till even now .. it never interested me to know the identity of the 'whistle-blower'.

Why?

Cos I'm indeed guilty of the accusation.

Oh well .. I've since repented. And now blissfully married.

On NTUC-Allianz: -

“We talked about the deal, and that was the time when we said that we had a relatively positive attitude towards the deal. We want to support the deal, because it will help Income. But when more details were furnished, we decided to have to stop the deal,” said Mr Gan.

After the deal was blocked, parliament again discussed it on Oct 16 during the debate on the Insurance (Amendment) Bill, which was tabled to allow the government to block the acquisition. The debate lasted close to four hours and involved nearly 20 MPs from both sides of the House.

The Bill was eventually passed with seven abstentions from the WP.

If WP is against it, .. why can't or shouldn't they vote against it?

Instead of sitting on the fence and declining to vote for or against the proposal/motion.
You mean they should vote for it... Did you even understand the context before bashing?

From the Mothership, kek. https://mothership.sg/2025/04/he-ting-ru-abstentions-income-allianz-deal/

"He Ting Ru explained that, in her view, existing Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) powers would have allowed the government to block the acquisition without new legislation, and had explained this in Parliament during its Oct. 16, 2024 sitting.

He Ting Ru had then said that while the WP supported the government's blocking of the proposed acquisition of Income, and therefore would not be rejecting the bill, WP had concerns about the bill being "rushed and retrospective legislation making", thus registering their abstention instead.

During the rally, He Ting Ru went on:
"That is why the WP did what any responsible opposition should do: agree with the outcome, but not oppose the rushed legislation, for the sake of opposing.

Overreacting and passing new legislation to give the government new powers it doesn't need, is bad for the rule of law."

No need to act obtuse. You know this. Be better.

As for his work experience, take out the one where he worked for 6 months and it's like any ambitious and inquisitive youngster's employment history. Sometimes things don't work out, or in their term, "vibe".
