GE2015: Vote PAP - and make the opposition work harder, says PM Lee Hsien Loong
[SINGAPORE] Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has dismissed the Workers' Party's (WP) argument that a strong opposition provides insurance against the ruling party's failure."Insurance is good but you must buy the right insurance from the right company," he said at the People's Action Party's (PAP) lunchtime rally at the promenade of UOB Plaza on Tuesday (Sept 8).
At a WP rally on Sunday, party chairman Sylvia Lim said that to protect against future PAP leaders being corrupt, Singaporeans must "buy an insurance policy - build up another party who can take over if the PAP fails".
