People like George Yeo need not associate himself with PAP and their cronies. It is a good way to get divorced completely from these MIW. He may not earn as much as he used to , but he got his conscience back after leaving MIW.

Life is not all about more and much more money. It small part of life.

George book has never been blessed by PAP.

Usually former ministers would write books and published by Singapore Press Holding SPH. Just like the recent S Jayakumar book which was published by SPH.

George Yeo book is published by World Scientific and it has never been blessed and vetted by PAP extreme committee.

According to the insider info, George Yeo approached Singapore Press Holding for publishing his book. SPH vetted the book and wanted to take out a few chapters and requested George Yeo to rephrase a few paragraph.

George Yeo refused SPH requests and insisted to tell the truth and therefore GY had no choice but to approach World Scientifc for publication,

George Yeo toyed with Ong Ye Kung feeling.

Silly bastard Ong Ye Kung song song go to Jurong and thought that his GRC team could win in Aljunied GRC and thought that Lee Hsien Loong could give him a minister post.

however, Ong Ye Kung did not know that even before the election, George Yeo already knew that PAP would not win in Aljunied GRC.



Even before campaigning for the polls had started, Mr Yeo's friend, a professional pollster, told him his five-man team would win just 43 to 47 per cent of the votes. Mr Yeo, now 60 and chairman of logistics firm Kerry Logistics Network, had kept this prediction from his Aljunied teammates, "not wanting to demoralise" them. -

Ex-foreign minister George Yeo was 'mentally prepared' to lose Aljunied GRC in 2011

SINGAPORE - Former foreign minister George Yeo was mentally prepared to lose the contest for Aljunied GRC in the 2011 General Elections, he has disclosed in a new book released this week.

Even before campaigning for the polls had started, Mr Yeo's friend, a professional pollster, told him his five-man team would win just 43 to 47 per cent of the votes.

Mr Yeo, now 60 and chairman of logistics firm Kerry Logistics Network, had kept this prediction from his Aljunied teammates, "not wanting to demoralise" them.

And despite being mentally prepared for the loss, it was still painful when the prediction came true, wrote Mr Yeo in his foreword for a compendium of his speeches and writings, titled George Yeo On Bonsai, Banyan And The Tao.

Aljunied was the first GRC to fall to the opposition. Mr Yeo's People's Action Party (PAP) team, comprising former second minister for transport and finance Lim Hwee Hua, former Member of Parliament Cynthia Phua, former senior minister of state for foreign affairs Zainul Abidin Rasheed and first-time candidate Ong Ye Kung, won only 45.3 per cent of the votes.

Their rivals, the Workers' Party, had fielded an A-team led by party chief Low Thia Khiang in what Mr Yeo described as "a high-stakes bid to break the PAP's dominance of the Singapore Parliament".

Although Mr Yeo announced his retirement from politics the week after the elections, he was urged by people within and outside the PAP to enter the fray in the presidential elections the same year.

He thought himself "temperamentally unsuited for the responsibility" but was prepared to run nonetheless. His candidacy was initially supported by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, said Mr Yeo, but he decided to bow out from the race when current President Tony Tan Keng Yam expressed his willingness to run with the PAP's support.

"I would only have contested out of duty, not ambition," wrote Mr Yeo. "It should not be an exercise in self-justification."

The English version of the book, published by World Scientific, is available at major bookstores. The hard cover version costs $83.46, while the paperback costs $38.52 (both prices after GST). A Mandarin version is expected next month.

When the Lau Chee Bai was talking shit about 'repenting' in Aljunied GRC, George Yeo's fate was sealed. :biggrin:

Lau Chee Bai's gangster politics were probably suitable back in the time when policemen wore shorts and tv shows were monochrome. Nowadays, anyone who tries to pull that shit will suffer swift retribution. :cool:

Talking about Bonsai and Banyan tree, the book title itself is a shame to PAP regime.
what is bonsai? Prof Michael Barr used the term Bonsai and Banyan tree to shame PAP.

His friend probably knew that GY was screwed and headed for disaster after LKY issued his omni-god warning that residents of Aljunied GRC would have 5 years to repent if they voted in the WP. Many voters were offended by this remark.

His friend is no sooth sayer but the LKY's famous warning really screwed up GY in Aljunied GRC.

I find him a good guy, that's why maybe got sacrificed.

George gained much stature whilst he was the Foreign Minister. He is well respected in the Asean arena.

He has to be removed as he is a threat to the crown prince..LHL.

Tharman gained some prominence at the St.Gallen symposium. He has to thread carefully otherwise
he will follow the path of George Yeo. But things may not turn out too badly for Tharman. This time around, the puppet master is not here.

So not all need to dance to the tune.
