PA must also reflect views of the "silent majority"
-
SINGAPORE: The People's Association (PA) is looking to raise its voice for the community in the year ahead.
Its Deputy Chairman Lim Swee Say, who is also Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, said PA has always reflected the views of the silent majority.
This will continue, but grassroots leaders have to speak up more and do so more visibly, he said.
Mr Lim was speaking at the PA's annual grassroots seminar.
"The silent majority, not that they don't have any views, but... they're less pro-active, less visible in expressing their views. That's why we feel it's very important... for our conversation to be truly inclusive. It should not just be a voice for the vocal minority, but it must also reflect the views of the silent majority," he said, referring to the conversation on Singapore's future.

PA reflects the views of the vested interests of the grassroots lea-duhs and the PA members... who are not the "silent majority"
rather, they are the vocal minority... who claim to represent the silent minority

Every where the vocal minority always claim to represent the silent majority.
