Look, the ship model has to change, they said. Singaporeans have dreams and aspirations and THEY WANT TO SAIL ALONE.
Then they devote a large part of their speeches to telling the government to help the opposition develop into credible parties that can take over the government.
The government has said the number of NCMPs would be increased. But - not good enough, it seems.
'Duckweed' was how Mr Low Thia Khiang described NCMPs. They have no roots, he said.
Oh, but they do have roots.
No political muscles, he said, never mind that the government has also said NCMPs will have voting rights JUST LIKE AN MP.
When Mr Low said that the government should create a political system that is conducive to the growth of alternative parties, what he meant is that the government should help alternative parties to win elections so that they can be MPs in parliament and not NCMPs.
They want the government to help them grow and develop into a party that can take over the government. They want the government to manoeuvre their ship into parliament.
WHY DOESN'T WP ASPIRE TO SAIL THEIR SHIP ALONE like the way they said Singaporeans want to sail alone?
