In the wake of a recent string of political scandals, observers also called for more transparency from both the ruling People's Action Party and Workers' Party.
SINGAPORE: While the Workers' Party acted quickly to address a video showing an"inappropriate exchange" between senior members Leon Perera and Nicole Seah, analysts question if more could have been done when the opposition party's leaders were first tipped off about their affair back in 2021.
“Did they not ask or interview the driver or did they just whisk it away attributing it to an aggrieved ex-employee of Mr Perera? There was the denial initially from both Mr Perera and Ms Seah when the party enquired – could the party have probed further?” he asked. Analysts also contrasted the WP's approach with the PAP's handling of an"inappropriate relationship" between. Both resigned from parliament and their party on Monday.
Associate Professor Chong Ja Ian of the National University of Singapore noted that WP was not seriously affected by former party member and MP“It is a setback for the party's political ambitions but not calamitous for its branding as a credible alternative to the ruling party,” said Dr Mustafa Izzuddin, a senior international affairs analyst at Solaris Strategies Singapore.
Dr Tan said the opposition would have to"step up their game to find credible people … who are willing to take up the roles and contest within the constituencies”.
