The debate on the proposal for ministerial salary review is over and to nobody surprises, it was passed in parliament due to PAP overriding numerical superiority in voting members in parliament.
Both Chen Show Mao and Gerard Giam put up a spirited performance on the first day that clearly illustrated that they had done their homework thoroughly on the issue. It is good to see after so many years that an opposition party (despite its small numerical number) able to engage and surpass the PAP in a parliamentary debate in key areas of substance, poise and delivery.
If you watch the video, CSM’s eloquence, logic and persuasiveness will rank head and shoulder above most PAP ministers.
