It's Lee Kuan Yew's 100th birth anniversary on September 16th, and Jom has been asked why we often reference Lee in our writing. Here's why.

Given Singapore's size and system of government, MPs here have a uniquely broad remit with an accompanying intense workload. And yet, even with their bumper pay packets, almost all choose to have second jobs.

Jom has scrutinised PAP remarks and the WP’s 2019 housing paper. We believe it certainly did.

Sixty years ago, the "Red Scare" saw Lee Kuan Yew's government arrest and detain over 120 alleged "Communists", some for over a decade. Survivors claim it was a politically motivated purge. Are we any closer to the truth?

While we cheer repeal, Jom worries about the usurping of democratic norms, the infiltration of religion into the politics of a secular state, and the ignorance of the bounds of free speech. Only two MPs can hold their heads high.

As the ruling People's Action Party gathered for its biennial conference, it has become clear that its 4G leaders plan to stick to its political playbook, even as the politics of fear becomes increasingly self-defeating.
