'In contrast, the Opposition was in a kind of quandary on Ridoutgate. I may be wrong. I suspect that since Ridoutgate did not emanate from the Opposition in Parliament, neither the Workers’ Party nor the Progress Singapore Party was committed to it unless they believed the ministers were really corrupt or improper in their conduct' - Tan Bah Bah
The debate on Ridoutgate was a good opportunity to watch some older People’s Action Party ministers do what they have always excelled at – putting up a well-coordinated and rather polished display of their ability to focus on the problem at hand.
“CPIB found no corruption or wrongdoing, no preferential treatment, no disclosure of privileged information, no abuse of position for personal gain. The AGC confirmed this after reviewing the Investigation Papers. And the Leader of the Opposition paid CPIB and paid the Government a compliment just now when he said, nobody is suggesting corruption on the part of the Ministers…
He was on top of the situation. Second, Singapore ministers were paid clean salaries with no perks. What they did with the money was their personal business. SM Teo adopted a fatherly figure attitude in dealing with questions. More or less entreating Opposition MPs, including Progress Singapore Party NCMP Leong Mun Wai, to help maintain Singapore’s reputation of zero tolerance for corruption.
Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan’s explanation of why he wanted such a big house at 31 Ridout Road was relatable and clearly laid out. He wanted to have his children and a growing brood of grandchildren all live under one roof, with the relevant consents of in-laws. Since he had no direct link with the Singapore Land Authority, the “landlord”, his explanation did not present any perception of any conflict of interest. Case closed.
