In his media interview yesterday (August 26), Emeritus Senior
Minister Goh Chok said that check and balance is a seductive lie
and that the ruling party PAP government is their own checks:
“For many years, the PAP was the only party in Parliament. Had the
PAP gone corrupt in those years? Until the 2011 election, there
were very few opposition MPs in Parliament. Had the PAP let the
people down? We are our own checks, the integrity of our leaders
and our MPs … not this seductive lie of check and balance. They are
seducing the people. And if the people are not careful, they will
be seduced … (and) they will pay a price. They’re looking for
plunder … So now a new tribe is coming, do they really have an
interest in Marine Parade people’s welfare?”

The 74 year old MP for Marine Parade GRC will face the Workers’
Party where the incumbent PAP won with only 56.65% of the
votes.
Earlier last week, the Electoral Department cautioned election
candidates to not embark on negative campaigns that include
name-calling. It appears that the Emeritus Senior Minister himself
needs to heed by their advice and put a stop to confrontational
politics.
