With 10 MPs, Workers' Party expected to surface alternative policies, not just question Government policies, says Lawrence Wong
SINGAPORE - Now that the Workers' Party has 10 MPs in Parliament, it cannot just continue to question and ask for changes to government policy, National Development Minister Lawrence Wong said on Saturday .
"The WP says that their long-term aim is to deny the PAP two-thirds of the seats in Parliament," said Mr Wong. The remaining two seats, for Non-Constituency MPs , will be taken up by Ms Hazel Poa and Mr Leong Mun Wai of the Progress Singapore Party , whose West Coast slate emerged as the best losers in the general election.
On Saturday, Mr Wong said details of the support to be given to Mr Singh are still being worked out, and will be announced by the Government and Parliament when ready. Lawrence Wong on why PAP is unlikely to exceed 65% vote share in future "So we must be clear-eyed about this."
