SINGAPORE — A government that has its own set of checks and balances is one that is accountable and functions well, which is why the Singapore Government's ability to "ownself check ownself" is a virtue, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Thursday (Jan 13).

Mr Ong was making reference to a remark first made popular by Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh during an election rally on Sept 2, 2015, when he was criticising then Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong's comment that the ruling People's Action Party exists in a political system where it is its own check.

"People can say 'ownself check ownself', but I see it always as a virtue — if ownself cannot check ownself, you're in big trouble," Mr Ong said at a forum organised by the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS).


Do chiu agree with him??

nobody dispute virtue of voluntary self-regulation. however it is important to have a strong counterweight too. there is no guarantee that the system is forever manned by honest men. we dont want to end up like our neighbour up north. start with parliamentary representation, no one party should command more than 2/3 of seats

True accountability is enshrined in Media freedom (Democracy's 4th pillar).

With ah ong this type of calibre and character, opposition can no need worry not getting in parliament.
Cause no matter how daft, people will slowly wake up or know what they have in this pandemic,

Just like letting Ho Ching to lead GIC. Nobody can questions anything because Lee family is an exceptional family.

Did he have a mirror in his house ?
So many lapses reported during the audit every year.
And he is still confident of his own self check ?
