It is so easy to be the opposition in Singapore. Jamus just claims credit.

 

It is so easy to be the opposition in Singapore..

The Progressive Wage Model is the brainchild of Lim Swee Say and Tripartite partners have been working since 2012 to implement the models for the various sectors.

But who remembers Lim Swee Say or gives him credit for it?

The model, despite it making a big difference to workers, in fact came under criticism all because it is from the ruling party.

Then came Jamus from WP who declared that the model was along the lines that the WP has been fighting for. And for good measure, he added the 'make your vote count' tag to his post..And fans were delighted. "Ya, thank you, WP, well done, this is why we need more opposition".

And then we have PSP Leong Mun Wai taking credit for conversations that apparently were started by him. It's as though before LMW appeared on the scene, no one gave a dime about PMEs.. And of course fans cheered and went "Thank you Sir. This is why we need more opposition."

Hello, Mr Leong. These engagements or conversations started more than a year ago in August 2020. It didn't start because you made a speech in Parliament.
