I am not sure why Mr Phan thinks I am making a 'serious and derogatory claim' when I stated the fact that the opposition's ultimate aim is to replace the ruling party.
The opposition itself has stated that this is its aim. The simple fact is that, if an opposition party were to form the government one day, all of us will have to live with the consequences. Much is at stake. In the end, politics is about our lives and our future as a people. The PAP's unwavering aim, since it became the ruling party in 1959, has been to improve the lives of the people.
Now that the General Election is over, let us move on and work together as one people to build a better home and a brighter future for all.

I refer to the letter, 'Is politics all about pursuit of party interests?' (ST, May 16), by Mr Jason Phan Shiaw Hwa.
