THERE remains a desire for alternative views in parliament, but Singaporeans by and large still want the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) to govern the country, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
"If you ask the opposition parties, whether it's the Workers' Party or the SDP (Singapore Democratic Party), nobody says: 'Vote for me, I will form the government, I will be the prime minister, I will run this place better'," he said in an interview on Wednesday.
