WP Chief's Silence

'He dropped a 'hand grenade' not knowing how it would explode, and took cover.'

MR JOHNNY HENG, who criticised the performance of Opposition MP Low Thia Khiang of the Workers' Party in questioning Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on whether DPM Wong Kan Seng should be made responsible for the failings leading to JI detainee Mas Selamat Kastari's escape. Said Mr Heng of Mr Low's performance in Parliament: 'His silence when asked by the PM whether he feels DPM Wong should be made responsible, and presumably 'fired' like the CEOs he spoke about, was deafening. Even a 'no' is a better answer than no answer.'
