  • We usually talk about the news, but did not expect to BE the news, which is what happened this week! Our Yah Lah BUT episode with Leong Mun Wai was referenced during this week’s parliamentary sitting by the Speaker of Parliament, Seah Kian Peng. What exactly was Mr Leong’s “act of contempt” on our podcast, and what did we think of the entire fiasco? Elsewhere, the “Friends of the PAP” group of influencers who were unveiled at a PAP event have come under scrutiny. Is there anything inherently wrong with being a buddy to politicians?

    I think Friends of PAP terminology is being used thanks to the success of NParks Friends of Parks program (which Mr. Desmond Lee is very active in). Hence PAP is hoping to replicate that?

    Haresh, your question set Leong Mun Wai up lah!!! You said:" I mean, at least for [the debates] that we were there, whenever the Speaker says, okay, any questions, you're one of the first to put your hands up." This leading question set LMW up lah!! You are the man!! And at the same time responsible!!! Hahahaha!!!

      Just to add, being friends to the party means you are involve in the party politics. Supporting the govt ie "Apolitical" means not interested or involved in politics. An apolitical position eg govt vendors such as contractors, service providers and, in this case influencers do not take sides on political issues or engage in political debates.

    Well, as a great interviewer, one should ask more from LMW or even other guests whether is there truth or just a joke. If it's the truth, you hv more content.
    For this instance, you chose to move on and make it ambiguous, the speaker will be seen as biased.
    Every politicians be it incumbent or opposition will always want to be looked as impartial.
