Managing Agent for PAP TC Drops Fees Just before the Attack on WP for "Expensive" Fee

[thor666]

My point was that some of the things he would say in parliament land him in legal trouble.

I cannot imagine what he has to say, with parliamentary privilege mind you, that will still get him in legal trouble.

He seems to be alluding that there is no fair way to discuss this further without getting sued.

Very convenient indeed.

From the wiki on parliamentary priviledge in sg:

MPs are not liable to the following:

Any civil or criminal proceedings, arrest, imprisonment or damages because of any matter or thing which he or she may have brought before Parliament or a committee by petition, bill, resolution, motion or otherwise, or may have said in Parliament or in committee.[266]


So, parliamentary priviledge is not equalling to absolute free speech. Given PAPs track record of suing, I humbly beg to differ.

I do agree that WP could have done better.
However, the fact is that many Singaporeans are politically inactive, and our opposition parties are very small. Economies of scale plays a big part.
