Why are Opposition members not considered credible?

Just as we did not judge the PAP as not being credible when one of its MP was found guilty of corruption charges, we should not judge all opposition candidates as being not credible from the behavior of one opposition candidate.

Many opposition candidates have good educational qualifications, but only 4 have parliamentary experiences.

Many will agree that Mr. Low and Mr. Chiam had proven to be credible opposition members, because they had the opportunity to serve and be judged by their constituencies.

To have credible opposition members, we need to provide them with a chance to determine their credibility, by voting them in Parliament after serious consideration of each candidate.

The opposition MPs may disappoint us, but our election process allows us to vote them out in 5 years time. Moreover, with PAP in power, isn’t now a time to let the opposition candidates prove their mettle in Parliament?

It is easy to lament that the opposition members are not credible, but without the opportunity, how can they be proven to be credible?
