People's Alliance for Reform (PAR) leader Lim Tean has expressed his unhappiness over the telecast General Election roundtable he participated in. The roundtable, which took place on Sunday (April 27) evening, saw Chee Hong Tat from the incumbent People's Action Party (PAP) trade verbal blows with Michael Thng from the Workers' Party (WP), Ravi Philemon from Red Dot United (RDU), Stephanie Tan from the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) and Lim. In a Facebook post on Monday, Lim stated that he's «extremely disappointed and angry» at the roundtable's «very unfair» format. In particular, he pointed out that the four opposition parties had to share half the total time while PAP was given the remaining half. «That meant the opposition parties were given only one minute each to make their case!» Lim exclaimed. «This was grossly inadequate compared to the four minutes Chee Hong Tat had for his response to each question.» All participants ought to be given equal response time to maintain fairness, Lim argued.
