PAP ‘set to take fight to opposition in next general election’


PRIME Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s robust speech to People’s Action Party (PAP) activists on Sunday has sparked talk that the party looks set to take the fight to the opposition in the next general election (GE), which must be called by January 2017 at the latest.

Several analysts said he was calling the opposition out on its lack of alternative policies, and its seeking to act only as a “check” on the government, while others felt it showed that the ruling party was not taking things for granted.
