Lmw is gonna be the next tang liang hong?

Dun think so. They need a coffeeshop uncle in the parliament to give the impression that the common folks’ voices are heard. His inability to articulate his thoughts clearly also works to their advantage as they are perceived to be better able to represent the nation…

 

[jeffprobst]

Thought he sold his GCB?

no idea. didn't follow through the whole thing. but if he sold off then good for him. the question is whether CMIO quota is still relevant in todays context. Understand in the past the CMIO quota is justifiable where wanna promote racial harmony and kampong spirit, but in today context, still viable?

 

[Joseph12]

Thought he sold his GCB?

Ya.... but like the article not widely publicized? Like the amount he got is so secret?

An example of this would be Deputy Prime Minister, Heng Swee Keat’s public statement in an interview that older Singaporeans were not ready for a non Chinese Prime Minister. Heng is much more high profile than Khan and has direct involvement in public policy. His words have much more weight than Khan. Yet. in his case, police reports were dismissed with seeming uncommon haste while Khan’s were left hanging for months!

To compound matters, Heng made his statement without any empirical data and faced with these facts:

1. The Leader of the Opposition, Pritam Singh, is not Chinese; and
2. arguably one of the most popular members of the Peoples’ Action Party (PAP), Tharman Shanmugaratnam, is not Chinese,

it all seems rather unfair isn’t it?

 

[Okeirkkire]

Mr Shanmugam then closed the exchange, noting that Mr Leong did not address his point on the use of the word “condemned” nor allegations of his past racist comments.

"I note that Mr Leong doesn't deny saying that 80 per cent of Singaporeans who live in HDB flats are condemned, and that his comments were racist,” he said.

Say already … Leong Mun Wai is Batman … he need prep time. That’s why his prepared speeches are impressive but he can’t debate his way out of a paper bag.

He will go back, spend a week or 2 to craft a good reply and post on Facebook … and then 山哥 will be like … bruh that was 2 weeks ago story already leh bruh.

“Mr Leong has also made comments in this House which are racist, and he has quite freely admitted to that too,” added Mr Shanmugam.

Referring to the parliamentary hansard, Mr Shanmugam cited his exchange with Mr Leong in a September 2021 sitting, during which the topic of the Singapore-India Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) was brought up.

Back then, the minister noted that Mr Leong’s comments on CECA had troubled even his own party members who, according to media reports, interpreted the comments as targeting the Indian community and having a racial undertone. Mr Leong eventually said that “there will be some people who will think there is (a) racial undertone”.

“If you look at his comments, the 80 per cent of Singaporeans who live in HDB flats are condemned, and if you combine that with his racist comments, Mr Leong may not put much value in our multiracial approach, he may not put value in our ethnic integration in our housing estates,” said Mr Shanmugam on Wednesday.

He emphasised that the EIP is a key part of the government’s approach to ensure that people are integrated well and that housing estates are well managed.

“And the CMIO is a key plank of those policies,” he said.

In response, Mr Leong said that his party supports the EIP, but takes issue with the economic disadvantages.

“There's an economic cost to the minorities, so we are looking (and) we have recommended in this parliament that we should compensate the minorities for that economic cost they have incurred,” he explained. “We are not against the EIP at all.”

Mr Shanmugam then closed the exchange, noting that Mr Leong did not address his point on the use of the word “condemned” nor allegations of his past racist comments.

"I note that Mr Leong doesn't deny saying that 80 per cent of Singaporeans who live in HDB flats are condemned, and that his comments were racist,” he said.

He added that during the meeting on Sunday, he will be raising these issues with the party leadership.
