Netizens are sharing memes, sarcastic comments, and humorous observations juxtaposing the two incidents involving Ms Sun and Mr Tan, highlighting what is perceived to be an inconsistency in the viewpoints of two prominent ruling party politicians
SINGAPORE: Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin’s use of an expletive to refer to opposition MP Jamus Lim has led some to ask, tongue-in-cheek, whether he should be coached by fellow ruling party MP Sun Xueling who had complained about a resident’s rude email, just last month.
The email also touched upon grievances regarding uneven cement floors at the void deck and criticized a road design, using offensive language. The resident was frustrated and warned that the failure to address the issue could result in Ms Sun losing the ward. Just a month and a half later, Ms Sun’s ruling party colleague has landed in hot water for his use of what he has deemed “unparliamentary language”.Mr Tan’s vulgar remark was directed towards Assoc Prof Jamus Lim after he delivered a speech on poverty and social reform in Singapore. As the opposition MP returned to his seat, the Speaker of Parliament could be heard muttering “f**king populist” under his breath.
