SINGAPORE: A co-driver who has one hand on the steering wheel and one foot on the pedal makes for a dangerous ride, but the main driver will be held accountable if the car crashes, according to Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Wednesday ( Apr 30 ).
Mr. Ong compared the 2011 General Election to the opposition’s attempt to enter congress at a protest held for Sembawang SMC.
The opposition’s presence back then was described as a co-driver sitting next to the ruling People’s Action Party ( PAP ) driver whose job was to” slap his head” when the main driver falls asleep, explained Mr. Ong.
” I may say that I do not, in general, disagree with that comparison and that the opposition has a role to play.” That GE, the criticism won Aljunied GRC. However, when the opposition appearance expands to another GRC, that co-driver becomes more than just a co-driver. He even takes the seat, he claimed.
The principal driver would begin receiving instructions on what to do and what to do, but the driver can also make the call in the end. You are still in demand, but you simply accept and process concepts, according to Mr. Ong.
” But I believe the co-driver will probably have one side on the steering wheel and declare,” I also want to travel,” if the PAP loses another three, four GRCs following this GE. If he’s brave plenty, he says,” My one foot also get through.” I push the brakes while you push the accelerator. We work up,” he said.
” Next, it will become very dangerous. We might remain crashing,”.
And if the automobile crashes,” the PAP motorist” will have to carry the guilt as the co-driver may claim to be just that: a co-driver.
” I worry and I worry this is the way that we are heading in,” said Mr. Ong, who is anchoring the ruling group’s Sembawang GRC stone.
