This always excuse of opposition not getting people to vote for them, fear of being marked.
Murali's father was from Barisan Socialist and if there is such system in place he won't be miw MP now.

I wish to ask PM Lee his above statement is given in the position as a government office holder or as a PAP secretary-general ? As a government office holder, he should be nonpartisan. As a PAP secretary-general, he doesn't represent ALL SINGAPOREANS.

I am also puzzled by that "... and others too...". Who is he referring to ? I thought only Singaporeans are eligible to vote ? Or he is implying other agenda ?

Sometimes I wonder how someone with no job can raise a family in SG.

Chee should write a How to book.

Big bucks if he can teach ppl.

This point I agree. He need to be totally transparent. Whiter than even the MIW.

Need tonnes of clorox...

Chee's wife supposedly came from a well to do family... He went from living in landed house to 3 room hdb flat. During his bankrupt years not sure who's supporting the family but maybe the simple answer is that it wasn't him supporting his own family
