Like others before him, is Leong Mun Wai the latest victim thrown under the bus by Pritam Singh?
Sometime in Parliament last week, a strange revelation cropped up. As we might recall, there was a poor West Coast couple who supposedly cried wolf about not receiving any help from the government. It led Mr Leong Mun Wai from the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) to swoop in with guns blazing to blast the PAP […]
Leong Mun Wai issued POFMA for social media posts riddled with falsehoods
The Secretary-General of PSP Leong Mun Wai was issued with a POFMA for publishing falsehoods on Facebook and Instagram that a couple residing in West Coast did not receive financial assistance other than a caregiving grant. Mr Leong identified the couple with a photograph. He has since taken down the posts and put up another […]
How about making resale HDB flats affordable by selling them at cash over historical cost instead of market price?
New BTOs have remained affordable. The outcry over the unaffordability of HDB flats is mostly over the resale prices. Say you bought a HDB flat in the early days for $50,000. Today, it is worth much more. What would you do if someone comes up to you and say that you should sell your flat […]
Leong Mun Wai’s latest adjournment motion is intended to seed ungrounded expectations of VERS
SMS Sim Ann hopes that PSP Leong Mun Wai will be more responsible in debates in Parliament. That’s a wishful hope. By now, we recognise that LMW is not interested in responsible debates, much less being factual and accurate. He uses the parliamentary immunity he enjoys to repeat misinformation as often as he likes. Seeding […]
Leong Mun Wai’s suggestion to remove land costs will leave homeowners bleeding
In a Facebook post, Leong Mun Wai concedes that BTOs are indeed subsidised. He also agrees that the pricing of BTOs should take into account locational factors. He wants prices to be lowered further, and to achieve this, he wants land costs to be disregarded. However, one cannot factor in locational factors while ignoring land […]
Is it true that Leong Mun Wai made bogus allegations against the PAP Government?
The Government did not spend a single cent to build Sports Hub. It is only right and fair that when the Government decides to terminate the Private Public Partnership (PPP) with SportsHub Pte Ltd, they should pay for the capital expenditure incurred by the PPP in the construction of Sports Hub. Anything less would be […]
When he fails to convince, he confuses!
When will Leong Mun Wai stop wasting the government’s time and focus on the right issues? Some Context Progress Singapore Party (PSP)’s Leong Mun Wai raised an Adjournment Motion during Parliament sitting on 3rd October 2022, to speak about “Ensuring Oversight of Public Expenditures”. Unsurprisingly, it was another attempt to discredit the government. He alleges […]
PSP Leong Mun Wai displays characteristics of misinformants with misleading statements on new citizens and NS
Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said that PSP Leong Mun Wai’s assertion that “citizens by registration are not doing NS” is inaccurate and misleading. New male citizens who stayed in Singapore when young and enjoyed economic and social benefits are enlisted when they reach 18 years of age or older. They number on average 3,400 […]
What to make sense of Leong Mun Wai’s cry over the termination of partnership between SportsSG and SHPL
Back in the 1970s when Paya Lebar could no longer cope with growing traffic, the Singapore Government invested S$800 million to expand Paya Lebar and build a second runway. Works had already begun but Mr Lee Kuan Yew felt that Paya Lebar had inherent disadvantages. It was located near the city centre. Expansion would be limited. Worse, noise […]
Leong Mun Wai’s position on government funding for SPH Media Trust is a disservice to Singapore
Imagine we do not have an independent local media of our own that is trusted by Singaporeans. Imagine everything that we read about Singapore is written by foreign media. Can we leave it to foreign media to write our story to shape public and international opinion of us? How will the likes of Stephen Sucker […]
