3Boys, I heard it first hand from a new citizen hor!! :rant:
Which is basically vicious nonsense circulated by anti-government/anti-foreigner voices. The information is easily available online if you choose to look for it.concern2:
Because many new citizens have fear amongst them for wanting to vote oppositions. There is a saying going around that they have NO CHOICE BUT TO vote the incumbent, and I don't know where they got it from. And then there is also this saying that if one never turn up on polling days, they will lose their citizenship, even for citizens who were born here.
Exactly the type of drivel that circulates during silly season (or the so-called bye-elections), I'd advise you to be discerning in what you hear or believe. -
Sometime people itchy mouth, add juices in hyped season like this. Don’t need to believe every rumors.

\"我们没法子，要投PAP..\"

Hv to file motion to raise an issue for debate in parliament. Not be default nor by turns. Free for all during question time. There is a time limit of 20 mins per MP.
Ahhh..... Is everyone given their turn to raise issue by default? Like this time is your turn, next time is his turn, so essentially WP only has 7 out of 89 chances to bring forth issues? Or are there 'quotas' on the number of chance you are given as everyone needs to be given a chance to voice?Way2GO:
Before dat happens, every extra man/woman in parliament affords d alternative party (parties) more airtime to voice alternative views.concern2:
See for yourself lor when parliament sits- some MPs u don't see during sessions; other MPs catching forty winks during speeches also hv..Has anyone gotten by not to voicing anything in parliament and just \"kee-chiu\" when required? :evil:

if such "magic" can be done, the last poll’s winning margin wouldn’t be so thin.

I have some friends who are extremely active in opposition politics, one having stood in the last GE against the PAP.
There is no persecution, unlike what some folk will have you believe. -

MP cast vote to green-light the motion? Or auto?

Can the motion be turned down? Like say the issue raised is not in public interest? -

Prolly feel indebted to d MIWs n is their way of expressing gratitude for gaining citizenship or more prolly self serving. Out of fear when some new citizens still hv other family members' PR n citizenship papers pending.
People will believe what they want to believe....concern2:
