SINGAPORE – The PAP has to speak up each time it sees something that crosses the line, or politics in Singapore will gradually turn for the worse as seen around the world, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Nov 9.

This could include distorting facts to score political points, taking populist stances, or using race or religion to win support. If no one calls out such harmful moves, they will become normalised, said PM Wong, who is the PAP’s secretary-general.
