SDP's remark

'Enough is enough.'

MADAM GOH SIOK NOI: 'I was appalled by the Singapore Democratic Party's comment that the posts of Minister Mentor and Senior Minister 'served no useful purpose except to drain the national budget' ('SPP, SDP criticise timing of announcement'; yesterday). Given the contributions made by MM Lee Kuan Yew and SM Goh Chok Tong, such remarks were uncalled for. I hope future opposition leaders will set an example for graciousness rather than offer disparaging remarks to spark another round of debate against the People's Action Party. The election is over, choices have been made, enough is enough.'

By-election call

'They contested as MPs, not ministers.'

MR THOMAS RICHARD PRAKASAM: 'I am shocked by the Singapore Democratic Party's (SDP) view that by-elections should be held in the Group Representation Constituencies where Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong had contested ('SPP, SDP criticise timing of announcement'; yesterday). Even lay citizens like me understand that they contested as MPs, not Cabinet ministers. If this is how the SDP interprets election rules, I would be worried if it gains power.'
