An exchange between Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam and Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh in Parliament on Tuesday (Nov 29) centred on LGBTQ+ candidates standing in General Elections, as the sexual orientation of an opposition candidate from the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) during the 2011 General Election. Referring to former SDP member, Dr Vincent Wijeysingha, Mr Singh said the PAP then had not only told Dr Wijeysingha to “come out of the closet”, but had issued a statement that “pursued an innuendo that made an allusion to paedophilia”.

Strong question posed by Singh and let wait for next GE to see if there is such candidates .

WHEN is the PAP going back to discuss Ivan Lim. He was a PAP candidtate for Jurong GRC for GE2020. He was criticized by members of the public. His party told him to defend himself. The party did not defend him. Ivan Lim withdrew. Lawrence Wong stated the PAP candidate selection process is "thorough and robust". Lee Hsien Long added "he has confidence" (in the process). If this is the case, why did the PAP not defend Ivan Lim? When is the PAP going back to the public to discuss the Ivan Lim saga? It has been over two years since GE2020. Singaporeans are still waiting for an explanation from the PAP why it chose Ivan Lim and did not defend his selection.

Well done Workers Party and especially to Mr Pritam Singh! The FACT that Mr Shanmugam does not even DARE to state category that ALL Singaporeans, REGARDLESS of race, language, religion and SEXUAL ORIENTATION has already itself shown what the PAP’s position was on this issue! That not all Singaporeans are seen and treated EQUALLY with what should be their ENTITLED Civil liberties as a citizen of this country! Not to mention the fact that PAP loves to Character Assassinate their political opponents using the state media as a tool for their agenda.

Pritam Singh should just ask Shanmugam in the latter's own style which is "just answer in a simple Yes or No, please" and stick to that. Shanmugam claims he can't make decisions as he is not the PM but he is amongst the first ones to have an opinion about anything and everything...even standing up to protect his party members. The hypocrisy is so overpowering!

@@hagisno I heard but I don’t see the prata. That’s why I asked you for your interpretation. In fact if you have good observation, Pritam didn’t pursue this line of argument. In other words, by bringing up the pedophilia Pritam scored an own goal. That’s why he let the matter go. Understand?

The Law Minister dodged a question regarding the aspersion and PAP’s stance on gays standing for elections. Then he claimed that the opposition party member shifted goal posts. That’s how I see this clip.

The identity of Singapore is love and kindness based upon proper knowledges, beyond religions, cultures, nationalities and races. Democracy without proper knowledges will develop a disconcerted and widespread disputes in small dots. Whilst this innovative order is to allow love and kindness having its function towards LGBT, it also deter improper knowledge for LGBT to have complete democracy in Singapore. The PAP can lost its governing power, but cannot lost its proper knowledge of a democratic Singapore

If a candidate actively participates in a forum that allows conversations about underage sex or paedophiliac behaviours, then i would support the questioning of his/her intentions. I think shanmugam was perfectly reasonable in his reply.

So all PAP members are in favour of sex between men including those Muslims MPs and ministers, not discounting the fact that Islam prohibits such things and curses those who indulge in those kind of activities.... Let the Muslim members in the PAP stand up and make their positions clear on this matter... Any Muslims who support such things have indeed lost their faith!!!

@raywing00 Жыл бұрын

Pritam, Pritam, Pritam… You must understand that MPs are people who will be involved in shaping policies and such. It would be a disaster if you let a pro-immorality candidate into the Parliament. So no, please drop this nonsense advocating for that.
