SINGAPORE: It is important that political parties achieve common ground on the fundamentals vital to Singapore, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung ...

, saying he was concerned about the “price” Singapore was paying for FTAs.

Mr Leong had earlier written a social media post, which said that “most important economic policies that have affected the jobs and livelihoods of Singaporeans relate to Foreign PMETs and Free Trade Agreements, in particular the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement with India”. Mr Ong argued on Tuesday that these statements were false and that FTAs are critical to Singapore’s economic survival, with the network of FTAs being “a major selling point” for investors looking to do business in Singapore."It is a shame that PSP colleagues, after listening to the facts, would only say that they will study the matter further, and refused to withdraw their wrongful allegations about CECA," said Mr Ong in Sunday's Facebook post.

need transparency of data for a fruitful debate to take place. without these information there will never be common ground.

The whole point of having an opposition is to challenge to the ruling party and hold them to account. Those with insufficient maturity to handle such challenge are not adult enough to meet the responsibilities required of their office.
