SINGAPORE: Eagle-eyed Singaporeans have picked up on a comment posted by the Facebook page of a Grassroots Organisation under the People’s Association , criticising Non-Constituency Member of Parliament Leong Mun Wai. Although the admin of the GRO’s page quickly deleted the comment, a screenshot of the comment is now circulating online.
Revealing that the Speaker of Parliament has taken issue with this comment that was made more than a month ago, Mr Leong wrote on his Facebook page on Tuesday : “The Speaker has since brought to my attention that my quip may be construed as casting aspersions on his impartiality in calling MPs.” Singaporeans responding to the issue online extended support to Mr Leong, but the PA GRO in Sengkang West appears to have a different view.
The PA is a statutory board under the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth . Its Chairman is the Prime Minister, and its organisations are commonly run by grassroots leaders, many of whom are members of the PAP. PA facilities are also commonly used to host community events organised by PAP politicians but the same benefit is unavailable for opposition MPs, according to Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh. Additionally, opposition MPs are not allowed to be advisers to government-run grassroots bodies.
