My question to you is, do you consider these setbacks for the GRC system? And are they signs that perhaps the GRC system is overdue for refresh?

First of all, thank you for having me on your program.

Let me pick up one point in what you said just now, the vacation of seats by some MPs.

and whether that somehow casts doubt over the rationale of the GRC.

I would like to frame the question differently.

That is, to recall what was the purpose of the GRC? What was the intent of the GRC? I'm afraid some people have misconceptions about the GRC.

You referred to one, two or more minority MPs resigning for various reasons.

So my question is, do you think that Lee Kuan Yew was more open to persuasion than the general public realises? Yes.
