News article on incident: https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/politics/wp-mp-raeesah-khan-referred-to-parliament-privileges-committee-for-lying-about
I've whined complained about her here a few times for trying to bring "woke" politics here and referenced this incident so I feel a bit vindicated that she has probably set back the SJW types here a lot with this latest development
https://rdrama.net/post/20473/marseydisagree-trains-get-mad-because-a/531364/?context=10#context
tl;dr background - daughter of one of the richest man in singapore gets elected via the minority route as a group of politicians, unironically calls herself an intersectional feminist and lists a marxist as her favourite author, loves playing idpol bullshit and went too far when she made false allegations of the police here mishandling a r*pe case
Redditor here probably sums up sentiments about her 3 months ago well
sorry for posting rather niche asian drama but lol probably an example of people trying a woke brand of politics they might have seen in the west and failing hilariously in their attempts you know you've fricked up when your most ardent defenders on reddit admit you've fricked up
i may laugh but i actually voted for the party she's in so I'm a bit of this Marsey too
but of course i'm glad she probably set back any woke agendas here hahahahahaha

Heh I knew you would post this here. So dumb to lie about such an inconsequential matter too.
How do you think she would be punished here? Already kena referred to Committee of Privileges.

Imagine the drama in r/singapore if there is an impeachment process just like in the US.

hi fellow sinkie
She's protected by parliamentary privilege though right? From the article you linked, seems like even for JBJ, who the PAP probably really hated, just got a fine. If that was the precedent set and in 1986 where PAP probably had more powert, I would guess the same? She's too loaded to feel the fine tbh, I won't be surprised if she doubles down on more idpol and use her history of depression as a deflection
Yeah, it's really an r-slured thing to lie about and doesn't help whatever she was claiming to advocate for. I mean all politicians lie but come on lol, it was bad timing too with how our court refusing to release the name of the woman in the case where the doctor was falsely accused of sexual assault
I don't know how the drama might be light if there was impeachment tbh, ngl I only watched CNN during the 2nd impeachment of Trump and thought it was a sure thing
One thing's for sure if she resigns or something, there would be less drama because she causes seethe on reddit/HWZ every parliamentary session

hi maker of awesome marseys
Yup at most she gets a fine. Would be too harsh if she gets jailed and there is no need to be so heavy-handed. Her political career is basically over. If she ever runs again her PAP opponent is gonna just keep harping on about how she lied in Parliament.
Oh she already claimed that she was sexually assaulted when she was studying overseas, as if that justifies the lying.
Oh there's always every session, right now r/singapore is seething about 2-pax dining restrictions (tbh that's fricked up too)

I don't see her getting jailed for telling a mostly inconsequential lie, without this revelation she was already unpopular based on online sentiments alone, and with it I don't see her running again. She doesn't exude any charisma so I can't imagine her being able to pull off some redemption arc since she did this to herself and can't play the "the establishment bullied me uWu" card. Yeah, I saw her double down on her "trust me bro" ways, I can't see any PR firms or publicist recommending it and it's getting mostly the expected backlash.
Hopefully she steps down gracefully at least for her kids. I've seen a redditor claim to be her former staffer say that she behaves just like the spoilt kid most people thinks she is too, so politics might just not be for her. I foresee her using her depression as a deflect at least, if she tried more idpol it would truly be r-slurred.
r/sg always seethe tbh, seething at the 2-pax dining restriction is r-slurred but at least understandable especially when different standards are applied for the foreign delegates. It's miles better than seeing them laughing at the unvaxxed covid deaths every night, or that Dave Parkash period where they acted like it was some George Floyd moment. Call me fragile but their divisive comments really hit too close to home, and a reason why I don't visit it on purpose anymore
surprised it took so long for another sinkie to out themselves though, ironically it didn't take as long on ovarit on the basis of my username, and I know y'all cheebyes are lurking

My only concern is the political backlash to the WP, hate to see the only viable opposition brought down by her. Hopefully she would resign after the CoP completes their inquiry. The LO really needs to put his foot down and make sure that this does not happen again.
Oh yeah r/singapore is depressing af now, understandable though since the MMTF doesn't know what it is doing, and their PR is shit. r/singapore wasn't that bad at the beginning, but the demographics of the subreddit became younger and more r/averageredditor over time. But there are good people there, like u/pingmr or u/threesls.
I mostly lurk here since rdrama can be a bit too rightoid for my liking. Many rightoids here think that SG is a conservative utopia but they confirm kpkb about the covid restrictions in SG.
I won't be surprised if there are lots of SG women in FDS too. But I don't think there are other sinkies here? The drama oriented ones probably enjoy the hellhole that is SRD.

Yup, the backlash at the moment or actually in the past few months against WP has rather substantial because of her, not long ago both r/sg and EDMW were very anti-establishment and pro-PAP sentiments would have been shot down. I think you can get a feel of how it's like today though. I hope this will be a reckoning of sorts if not it will be challenging next GE.
Yup, the demo has shifted too much. Recall the debacle about r/sg banning "CECA"? It has really fallen a lot, the lazy automoderating actually removes a lot of good posts. For sure there are SG women in FDS, the very SJW-ish types have been outed as FDS members before. Luckily I'm reminded that r/sg is not real life when I touch grass, but I worry for the younger demo The locals in ovarit are probably there for train drama, or from their frustrations with the T in the local LGBT scene according to them. Know of the trans woman in the HDB incident (https://qz.com/988514/a-straight-married-couple-became-a-same-s*x-one-and-singapores-famous-efficiency-broke-down/)? This was the DM she dropped and it's really sad
I wasn't involved in /r/drama or SRd and actually can't remember how I found this site, but given the fact that against all odds drewiepoodle was from Singapore, surely odds are that there would be some lurkers here

Oh is it? I find that r/singapore is still quite liberal (to a certain extent) and quite anti-establishment. But of course RK is too SJW to ever be popular with r/singapore or SG in general, and there will still be comments from both liberal and conservative redditors shooting down RK or anything that is baizuo nonsense.
Honestly I am still surprised at how well WP can retain the old-school teochew communities in hougang and sengkang, but as long as WP can focus on the concerns of the younger generation, I think they can do well and capture more GRCs.
Jannies being jannies, what's new? Not sure how good is r/SingaporeRaw compared to the main subreddit though.
Yeah her story is pretty sad, but why is she censored in r/singapore? I thought her plight would be well received.
Oh man drewiepoodle is a nasty piece of work, still remember how she tried to groom vulnerable teenagers and provide them with "super girl juice". But thanks to you I learnt that she's u/awkwardtheturtle as well
