SINGAPORE: Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh on Sunday night said that an article written by People's Action Party Member of Parliament Tan Wu Meng was"politically motivated" to divide Singaporeans., which was posted on the PAP website on Jun 19.

In his latest response, which he posted on Facebook, Mr Singh said that it was a"belated but calculated decision" to post Dr Tan's article on the PAP website"on the eve of imminent general elections", and called it a"leap of logic" to say that the WP endorses"every controversial view Mr Alfian has made".

"How the PAP chooses to conduct its politics is something for the PAP to decide. The public are equally entitled to respond as they deem fit - within the remit of the law – and at the ballot box."
