From Siew Kum Hong’s blog:

The attacks have continued since my last posting on this blog. In particular, the latest attacks have alleged and/or insinuated that (a) I asked for and am receiving foreign funding from a Swedish politician, who allegedly funds the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) as well, and (b) I am involved or associated with the SDP and may be their representative or “mole” in Parliament.

Both of these allegations are untrue and false. They are vile, vicious and malicious attacks on me, and nothing short of character assassination. I consider them extremely defamatory and criminal in nature.

I did not at any time ask for, and have not at any time been offered or accepted, any sort of funding from any local or foreign entity, including the Swedish politician named in the latest attack. The only sources of income (or funding) that I have, are my employer and the Government of Singapore (in the form of my monthly NMP allowance). Furthermore, I am not involved or affiliated or associated, whether directly, indirectly or in any other way, with the SDP, and am certainly not their representative or “mole” in Parliament.

李显扬:先打倒冠病19 选举须暂缓

(翻译自李显扬刊载于《马来邮报》的评论) 基于冠状病毒19 本地传播病例已超过入境病例,新加坡目前已启动“断路器”式的半封锁措施。本月3日,总理李显龙称关闭学校、非必要服务商店和工作场所的措施,旨在防堵感染传播。 经过数周的担忧后,许多国人终于松了一口气,当局采取更严谨措施来保护他们免受病毒侵害。然而,仍然有强烈的感觉,在这场健康危机的关键时刻,国家的关注重心被迫分散。 4月7日,当国人将在“阻断”措施下准备呆在家里,人民行动党(PAP)却将在国会推动通过《国会选举(冠病19特别安排)法案》。 这法案似乎显示,行动党把它和李总理的利益凌驾于家国之上。执政党似乎仍执迷于在还有整整一年任期的情况下,如何在疫情下召开选举,更何况世卫组织(WHO)已宣称这场疫情为“您能想象到的最强劲敌”。 敦促国人“相信自己为国家利益而非个人”,但李总理却无法放下即将举行的选举,令人莫名其妙。 既然行动党不太可能败选,为何那么焦急于选举?难道是畏惧经济衰退的恶果?需提出的问题是:政府是否过于被动或做得太少,只是为了避免惊动人民或限制对经济的损失?有多大程度因为提早选举的渴望而分神? 当前,新加坡理应得到总理和他团队的全盘关注,对那些每日面对感染风险的前线医护人员,予以尊重。然而, 当新感染群仍在涌现,执政党却把宝贵的时间精力都浪费在选举安排上。 新加坡应对疫情的手法获得世界赞许,也提及过去2003年SARS疫情习得许多宝贵经验。SARS疫情时,出现首位病患的26天后,就关闭学校。但这一次,自1月23日出现首宗病例以来,过了70天才关闭。这就不能怪国人的质疑:如果SARS是一场教训,何以会出现如此过度的拖延? SARS疫情出现238例确诊病例。但今年4月1日冠病19确诊人数就破千,截至4日已达到1114例。这可不同于其他战疫。冠病19比起SARS更具传染力,感染链也极其困难打破。为提早选举分心,行动党是否失察?国人是否感受到政府有把公民的福祉摆在首位?…
