The Workers’ Party’s Jamus Lim emphasised the importance of debate and, in turn, why Parliament needs more different voices, in his concluding remarks on the live “Singapore Votes 2020 – The Political Debate” tonight (July 1).
At the end of the hour-long session, Dr Lim said: “I enjoyed the debate. This is exactly why debates on ideas on how Singapore should progress should occur.”
He mentioned that it was clear from the debate “the People’s Action Party (PAP) doesn’t have a monopoly on best ideas on how we should bring the society forward”.
While Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had previously said that the general election would give PAP the mandate to bring the country out of the current crisis, Dr Lim didn’t agree.
“The truth is, PAP, in all likelihood, would have this mandate by the end of this election,” he said, earning chuckles from around the table.
