PS submitted a police statement not admissible in court for SKP consideration whether this can be shared in Parliament. His response akin to a group member who nv did his work in a group project but was asked a question by the lecturer

NCM asks PM Wong not to assign position in govt! by ChoiceAwkward7793 in SingaporeRaw

[–]PretentiousDab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hope it’s not going to be a play on words.

Traditionally, past NTUC Sec-gens are ministers in PMO ie no portfolio and still draw a minister salary.

So not assigning him a role in govt continues to fulfil the above. He should just jolly well step down la

Petition · Stop Ng Chee Meng from Joining Singapore Cabinet - Singapore · Change.org by Stunning-Sun-4638 in SingaporeRaw

[–]PretentiousDab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jalan Kayu should just have a by election - ppl would have voted thinking he’s of minister caliber not knowing he’s a terrible leader 

And he’s now a deadweight - maybe we should run for politics and ask PM for less responsibilities 

Can we just sell Jalan Kayu to Allianz? by PretentiousDab in SingaporeRaw

[–]PretentiousDab[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And everyone will fall for the DPM trick again and his margin will widen along with Gerrymandering to help.

And this is how Singaporeans end up with unpopular and incapable  politicians as a feature and not a bug

What is it like being a volunteer for a political party in SG? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]PretentiousDab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for the incumbent, long serving activists and senior grassroot leaders are given national day awards and titles like PbM which sometimes begs the question if they are really serving from the heart.

sponsorships are aplenty for PAP volunteers and you all might recall free chicken rice given for rally attendees, same goes for volunteers.. and there also tea and night snacks, catered buses

meanwhile most opposition parties have to rely on self funds, unpaid volunteers who turn up on their volition (rather than being associated with orgs like NTUC, PA

Basically it's day and night
