Her Face as a Reminder in Every Parliament Speech

RE: Singapore's system depends on 'getting politics right': PM Lee

Regardless of the great stuff they mouth in their speeches, the sight of Tin Pei Ling, in the background of every single shot of anyone speaking in Parliament, starkly reminds me that they are insincere about doing the right thing.

This so-called elected MP quibbled about her mistake for not declaring her friend, Denise He, as 'moderator' for her Facebook account in her election forms. Subsequent to the announcement of Police's investigation which established that Denise He did post that comment on Tin Pei Ling's Facebook account on Cooling-Off Day, Tin Pei Ling stated publicly that, because Denise He was merely in-charge of uploading pictures, and not changing text, Denise He was therefore NOT a moderator. As such, Tin Pei Ling concludes that she did not make false declarations in her forms.

To me, or any typical user of Facebook, blogs and even mainstream media, the content of these platforms is made up of text, pictures, moving images, audio etc. Hence, the definition of a 'moderator' of a website or Facebook account is anyone who makes changes to such content, including pictures.

Being inexperienced, 'young' or even 'not smart enough' isn't that bad a problem, but I absolutely abhor the act of quibbling as demonstrated by Tin Pei Ling. It shows what her values are and where her priorities lie. Clumsy and desperate self-preservation. That's hardly inspiring.

Of course, I am disappointed with the Elections Department (ELD) for not acting on this. As public servants, ELD should have minimally pretended to do something about it. I don't remember hearing about ELD's conclusion on this matter. Did ELD do anything at all?

But most importantly, I am extremely disappointed with the PAP for not taking her to task. You have no moral high ground, if you do not take your own kind to task. As such, you cannot be sincere about doing the right thing.

I really want to take you seriously, and believe in your speeches.
But you have made it very difficult for me.

This is an abomination.

And we are all gonna have to see her annoying face in every single Parliament speech henceforth, for the next 5 years. Reminding us of how she got herself in Parliament, and how she was allowed to do so.
