SINGAPORE — The Progress Singapore Party (PSP) was on Wednesday (July 5) asked to apologise and take down from Facebook a video on the Ridout Road debate in parliament.
Late on Tuesday night, PSP posted on its Facebook page a clip of its secretary-general as well as Non-Constituency Member of Parliament Leong Mun Wai asking questions in the House on Monday.
The video made it seem that issues on Ridout Road — relating to the rental of state properties by ministers K Shanmugam and Vivian Balakrishnan - could not be"fully ventilated". "And then you have that blurb which suggests that they were being shut down and a debate was not allowed to take place." Ms Indranee also said that contrary to the video claiming there was one hour for MPs to seek clarifications, the time to do so went on for nearly four hours."So there was ample time for questions to be asked and they were asked and they were answered. And the session ended at 6.22pm," said Ms Indranee.
He insisted that although the debate lasted six hours, not all the questions were asked nor did the replies clarify all the facts, which was why he"got a little excited" during the session and said he needed more time.
