The Victim Game By Lee Li Lian

 In her Facebook post, WP’s Lee Li Lian attempts to show Singaporeans that opposition MPs play with the deck stacked against them.

To do this, Lee Li Lian showed a screenshot in which she was supposedly denied permission to hold a so-called “Charity Event”.

What Lee Li Lian (and her fellow WP MP) failed to do was tell the full truth.

Firstly, the timing is strangely convenient.

Lee Li Lian's email to request for permission was sent on 27 Jan 2016 for an event that is planned for 30 Jan 2016. Even the most expedient processing would take at least 1 day and a response provided on the 28th. This will then give Li Lian and her Team less than 2 days to publicize the event and make all the necessary arrangements.

It is obvious that her request for permission was a last minute ploy to portray the HDB/ Government in a negative light.

Secondly, permission for political events requires a police permit and the HDB has been consistent that no political party can hold events in public areas.

What Lee Li Lian is alluding to are the various Grassroots events organized by the People’s Association. What Lee Li Lian failed to tell Singaporeans is that the WP have been organizing events under the name of Lions Befriender who are their main sponsors.

Why did she suddenly choose to organize the event as a political event? Once again, it is a deliberate attempt to mislead Singaporean.

Look who is playing politics to score political points? If you cannot be trusted to do small things right, can you be trusted to do the big things?
