PM Lee: No by-election if PAP loses a GRCPrime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said, 'The voters have decided, and we will accept the voters' decision.' -- ST PHOTO: FRANCIS ONG PG
IF A GRC is lost at the May 7 General Election - and a Minister along with it - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong does not plan to call a by-election to try and get him elected and back into government, he told the Lianhe Zaobao Chinese daily.
'Elections are a serious thing,' he said in an interview published on Tuesday 'The voters have decided, and we will accept the voters' decision.'
He added that voters, too, would have to live with the consequences of their choice to turf a Minister out.
'There are no safety nets in real life. So it's best not to take the risk.'

every thing is a risk like the decision of mr lee opening up the two IR.

He is pretty confident that one of his ministers may be ousted.
What happened if he himself is being voted out ?

I just read this another way and thought of Lee opening up the IR to us without $100 fine to win votes.
