		<description><![CDATA[I have chosen not to judge Raeesah Khan harshly. Several people have already said this, but the power imbalance in Singapore is unequal. The opposition is held to the highest standards but the PAP is not. Because of what has been drummed into us, that the PAP is the best of the best, the elites, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I feel really sad as well as furious about all this fiasco. How did Workers&#8217; Party (WP) end up in such a sorry state? WP boasts about having a stringent selection process on their candidates but how did a liar like Raeesah Khan passed the selection? This is especially so puzzling when Raeesah has been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you haven&#8217;t noticed, WP MPs have been raising sometimes quite radical alternative ideas. (Which to me is good.) One raised in the latest sitting of Parliament was to encourage the renting of flats, rather than ownership. (Google and read Louis Chua&#8217;s speech.) Jamus Lim raised the idea for a wealth tax. Sylvia suggested the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I applaud Raeesah Khan&#8217;s tremendous courage to admit in Parliament that she lied about accompanying a rape victim to make a police report 3 years ago etc. Given her standing as an elected Member of Parliament and the seriousness of her false allegation involving the police etc, the honourable thing left for her to do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s official – Singapore now has a law designed to combat the threat of Foreign Interference in Domestic Affairs. The Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Bill or “FICA” was passed by the ruling party’s super majority in parliament after a 10-hour debate. The result in parliament was never in any doubt. Whatever points were made, were simply [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I posted that 7 NMPs were absent from the FICA vote yesterday in parliament. I stand corrected. It has come to my knowledge that in fact only 2 NMPs were absent. 5 NMPs voted together with 70 other PAP MPs in favour of the Bill whilst 2 abstained. But what is very notable [...]]]></description>

All legislations that are [...]]]></description>
