A Quote by Pritam Singh

There is a real risk of a parliament dominated completely by elected PAP MPs. Is that a good outcome for Singapore? I would suggest it's not.

PAP leaders, including Mr. Shanmugam, routinely ask WP MPs to clarify their positions on the spot, in Parliament. WP MPs routinely do the same to PAP ministers.

I'm prepared to mentor any political group, even PAP chaps can come to me, I'll still mentor them. Because the objective must be very clear: you want to train people who will be good MPs. MPs who will think of Singapore first.

Tan Cheng Bock

A truly united Singapore means having a Parliament that reflects all views, and not just the PAP view or the group-think of a single political party.

Since I was first elected to Parliament in 2010, I have witnessed appalling attacks on Jewish people, including my fellow MPs.

Luciana Berger

Members of the public would be forgiven for thinking that it is MPs who are lazy and that it is parliament that is failing to provide good value for money.

Margaret Hodge

I think Singaporeans will realize that when you vote elected opposition MPs into Parliament, the Government is more responsive and more sensitive to the concerns of the people.

We have decreased the salaries of everybody who partakes in politics, from the president to the prime minister to the MPs [members of Parliament]. We have cut expenditures that have to do with parliament. Everybody knows we are serious.

Antonis Samaras

If we had a vote in parliament, the majority of MPs would not vote for a hard Brexit.

Anna Soubry

If you don't have that Singapore core, you can top up the numbers, but you are no longer Singapore. It doesn't feel Singapore - it isn't Singapore - and we can issue everybody red passports, but where is the continuity?

Lee Hsien Loong

Ask yourself, have you ever heard any of your PAP MPs ask the hard questions? As a Singaporean, you have a right to information that the Government is refusing to answer.

Tan Cheng Bock

The Chief Whip's job is trying to make sure that the Government - and MPs elected as part of the governing party - deliver the promises that they were elected on. That's a healthy part of the democratic process.

Geoff Hoon

An unelected opposition in Parliament cannot change the PAP. GE 2011 and the Government's response to shift to the left proved that.

In Kuwait there is already a real, elected parliament with genuine power, but the prime minister is always a member of the ruling al-Sabah family. That must end.

Elliott Abrams

With a close parliament, if the Government wants to get a good outcome for the nation, they can't play a game of lying to the public about what's in their own legislation. They can't do that.

Tony Burke

I cannot say that the PAP has done me wrong or something. I think I'm quite grateful to the PAP.

Tan Cheng Bock

The public may want an elected opposition in Parliament, but we have to earn our place and work hard both in our Town Councils and in Parliament to retain the confidence and support of our people.
