Mr Hri Kumar, erstwhile MP for the Group Representative Constituency (GRC) of Bishan-Toa Payoh insists that the Workers Party make clear its stand on the issue of Muslims wearing the tudung. He claim!s that the PAP is clear on this, that it has taken a clear stand. He accuses the WP of avoiding taking a clear position on the issue. I don't think there is anything wrong with this stance. After all, they are practising the wisdom of the ages:
"A politician is an animal who can sit on a fence and yet keep both ears on the ground" - H.L. Mencken
"Practical politics consists of ignoring facts" - Henry Brooks Adams
"A politician should have three hats. One for throwing into the ring, one for talking through, and one to pull rabbits out of if elected" - Carl Sandberg
"Politics, n. Strife of interest masquerading as a contest of principles" - Ambrose Bierce in the Devil's Dictionary.
