Oxley Road dispute: House debate will clear the air, say MPs and political watchers

Members of Parliament and political observers yesterday said they supported the move by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to make a statement in Parliament
about a dispute with his siblings over their late father's house.
Putting the issue under scrutiny in the House will allow the Government to address in public the serious allegations about abuse of power that have been made by
Dr Lee Wei Ling and Mr Lee Hsien Yang, the younger children of the late founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew.

PM Lee, in a statement yesterday, urged MPs from both sides of the House to examine the issues thoroughly and to question him and his Cabinet colleagues vigorously.

Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat, in a Facebook post, said:
"Like PM, I hope this will be the chance for all of us to discuss things openly and thoroughly, dispel doubts,
and strengthen confidence in our institutions and system of government."

MPs contacted said it would be a chance to clear the air.
Nominated MP Kok Heng Leun said: "The debate is important for accountability... There is so much reported in the news. Singaporeans do want to know what is going on."

He cited specifically the issue of the future of 38, Oxley Road, the house where the late Mr Lee lived for most of his adult life.
"The key questions are: What was Mr Lee Kuan Yew's wish? What is the Government looking into with regard to the house?" he said.
Chua Chu Kang GRC MP Zaqy Mohamad said the move to lift the Whip shows that "PM Lee is not afraid to put the matter under the microscope".

He added that the debate in Parliament will be welcomed by Singaporeans because the serious allegations made have created a buzz in Singapore and overseas.
"The accusations go to the heart of the integrity of the Government as well as PM as the leader of the Government," he said.
"Having it properly scrutinised in Parliament will hopefully put the matter to rest and assure people that whatever actions taken so far are above board,
so that the Government can continue to focus on the pressing issues it has to handle."




Others, such as Tampines GRC MP Desmond Choo, said they would canvass views from grassroots leaders and residents so that they can reflect them in Parliament.
Political observers interviewed said it was important to thrash out the issue in Parliament as the family feud has been taken public.
"It would help to clear the air and set the record straight. It would also help in regaining the complete trust and fullest confidence of the people of Singapore," said Dr Mustafa Izzuddin, a research fellow at the ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute.
He also said PM Lee's decision to apologise was "honourable".
Dr Norshahril Saat, another research fellow at the ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute, said he hoped MPs would speak their minds when Parliament sits because they are no longer bound by party lines.
"Citizens should also encourage their MPs - PAP or non-PAP - to speak on their behalf and raise tough questions," he said.

so is this how you urged MPs from both sides of the House to examine the issues thoroughly and to question him and his Cabinet colleagues vigorously ?


From Chen Show Mao's Facebook post
Parliamentary Q&A -- Getting to Yes.

Q. I'd like to ask the Prime Minister at the next Parliamentary sitting: "When should a Minister or political appointee go to court to defend his or her reputation and when should he or she refrain from private litigation and seek instead to address such allegations publicly, such as in Parliament?"

A. Your question asks about matters concerning decisions made by Ministers or political appointees in their personal capacity. As stipulated in the Standing Orders, parliamentary questions must relate to affairs within the official functions of a Minister. In view of this, do you wish to withdraw your question.

Q. I respectfully disagree.
The question relates (and I have revised its wording to make it clearer) to defending one's reputation as a Minister or political appointee in his or her official capacity
as Minister or political appointee, as the case may be. Has there been, for example, as alleged an abuse of one's official position as a government Minister?

A. Your question has also been ruled inadmissible as it seeks an expression of an opinion. It is also not the function of Government to decide
whether a Minister should seek court action to defend his reputation or refrain from doing so. Such decisions are made by the Minister himself.

Q. I respectfully disagree.
What I seek from the PM is not an expression of his opinion, but an answer on the norms upheld in his government among his Ministers and political appointees,
as they relate to the issue of defending their reputation for honest dealing in their official or public capacity. The integrity of our leaders in government,
and the consequent trust that our people place in the government, could not have been more emphatically touted by past governments. PM Lee Kuan Yew spoke often of it. Almost twenty years ago, PM Goh Chok Tong said that
"if they've defamed us, we have to sue them -- because if we don't, our own integrity will be suspect. We have an understanding that if a minister is defamed and
he does not sue, he must leave cabinet. By defamation, I mean if somebody says the minister is ... less than honest. If he does not rebut it,
if he does not dare go before the court to be interrogated by the counsel for the other side, there must be some truth in it."
That was a clear enough statement of a norm ("standard, pattern, understanding, practice, how we behave") .
Norms change over time, even if only slowly. The norms upheld in his government among his Ministers and political appointees in their official capacity
is a fair question for PM Lee Hsien Loong.
