Did Workers’ Party leaders mishandle the Raeesah Khan affair? I think they did big time by not acting quickly – not necessarily because of self-serving reasons but possibly more out of compassion for a fellow MP. Now, they have their work cut in regaining public trust ironically damaged by the very person they seemed to have wanted to protect.
Nothing of the sort took place. When Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam asked her on Oct 4 to provide more details, she declined citing the need for confidentiality.

Suddenly, Sengkang GRC residents get short-changed. A part of Aljunied GRC loses a portion of the time and attention of Faisal Manap who has to take care of minority residents in Sengkang although the WP has reiterated that it treats all residents the same regardless of race. Personally, because she seemed to represent a new generation of “woke” activists more willing to take up and press the causes of the underprivileged and minorities , Khan’s absence following her resignation leaves a vacuum. More important, let not Khan’s demise deter others from coming forward to highlight her areas of concern – on either side of the political divide in Parliament.
