'Incredible double standard': Jamus Lim rebuts PM Wong's criticism of WP policy positions; PAP's Petir says coherence matters
Workers' Party (WP) MP Jamus Lim believes political parties should be open to adjusting their policy positions when justified, and rejected suggestions that doing so amounted to "opportunism".Associate Professor Lim was responding to Prime Minister Lawrence Wong's speech at the People's Action Party (PAP) Awards and Conference held at the Singapore Expo on Sunday (Oct 25) morning.PM Wong, who is PAP secretary-general, had spoken about how the opposition took different policy stances at different times and said WP's position "seems to shift with the political winds".Later that afternoon, Assoc Prof Lim said in a Facebook post that PM Wong is "entitled to his views".The Sengkang GRC MP wrote: "Personally, however, I found the claims to be an incredible double standard. After all, the PAP is known for massive U-turns in policy, some lasting barely one season."
